Weirdly as I was reading this post I started singing -' On the good ship lollipop ' Rally round the Robins !!1

Anybody else deaf after that rather loud noise during the Ellis interview? Bit all over the place this hull fc live still.

Well at the very least he could have bought you someone who knows how to score a goal or two.

well in hull great signing and enjoy, bonus its upset leeds and improves our great town in the minds of others

SIMPLY A GREAT SIGNING AND TO END THE CLAMBER FOR HIM SO QUICKLY SHOWS WE MUST HAVE MORE WONGA THAN LEEDS

Sensational signing!

As has been said this can be compared to the signing of Knocker. Let's hope it leads to an equally successful era.

Congratulations and thanks to Pearson, McRae and Gentle for pulling this off.

As for the Leeds fans who said he was nailed on for them:

How was the interview, anyone?

Had the headphones on and nearly spilt me tea. Top Signing, well done to all involved at the club

top draw signing

shows real intent from the board and coaching team

well done AP and all involved in this exceptional signing.

I read an interview with Paolo di Cannio and he was asked about his own interview with the owner of Swindon Town. di Cannio asked him what the club's aspirations were and was told that: given the demographics (pop. 210,000), the most realistic expectation was a "good Championship side". di Cannio thought this the answer that would be expected from a realist as opposed to a fantacist and was the main reason for him taking the job. Now the City of Hull has only 50,000 greater population than Swindon, yet the current and previous owners have attempted to fool some of the population into thinking that Hull City could be a viable and sustainable Premier League side.
