I'm not sure who I would have signed but i wouldn't have thrown half a million quid at an unfit, injury prone abdul

He could be earning only £70k (not that I think he will be) and he would still be a marquee signing as he would need naming as one so that only his £50k counts on the cap.

No quality domestic halfs, as I've highlighted, so we we didn't have too much choice, definitely a risk, but one we had to take, still might pay off, not a great start, let's see what happens.

We didn't have to take it. We have cust, sezer and a couple of younger players as back ups.

No, but I'll bet it nearer that than £250k

From the outside it does seem daft that we didn’t get the knee clear out done as soon as he became a Hull player, it was said he needed it while at Catalans, he’s on a three year deal I’d always be looking long term. Who knows maybe he just wanted to crack on and get stuck in with pre season or maybe he has just took a knock that wasn’t expected.

I’m not just saying now because he’s had a set back but I always thought our best balanced 6 and 7 combo would have been Cust and Sezer anyway. The bigger problem would be if it’s effected our dummy half rotation plans with Cust, but the indication is that Borough is rated highly and Balmforth is having a good pre season. DT has also said that Cust has been training at 6 and not dummy half so again maybe not too much disruption just a like for like swap with Cust and JA.

I was as sceptical about the take over happening as anyone, but it’s official now and it looks they’ve already put a decent amount of investment in the club. I’d also have Myler down as someone who’s pretty thick skinned himself. I admire your dedication to your club but I’d just give it up for now at least, Myler and the board are not going to pack up and leave us in the lurch already just because one Rovers fan pretending to be a Hull fan on a message board is always sticking the boot in. :lol:

Give it a season or two of bad results and then try the Trojan horse act again, believe it or not there’s a bit of a feel good factor around the club at the moment.

The feel good factor comes from having two guys in charge who have money and its money the club need to turn this around.
A few big up player reports in the HDM may excite the optimistic and deluded on here but reality is the squad is poor quality put together by a novice whos first major mistake is now seen signing a crocked Abdul on a lucrative three year deal.
You only have to look at our backline of Barron,Hardaker,Chamberlain and Briscoe to see how poor most of Ritchies recruitment has been and if Cross is signed its hardly a major step up.We should be aiming higher and showing R/L that we have ambition and the financial backing of two wealthy owners.
Quality not quantity.He didnt have to sign a player just because he thinks there is no one else around.Get off your backside and find what we need
Lets face it would he be the DOR of Hull Fc if his father in Law was not the part owner of the club.NO
My feeling is we have wasted a building opportunity for 2025 which because of the length of contracts will undoubtably effect what we can do in 2026 when that year should have been the real step up year with three quality possibly marquee players accquired.
Thats highly unlikely now unless we have another large player movement out and that means paying off several contracted players to make room which again costs the club money.
As for me being a Rovers fan thats way off the mark and anyone can see that by simply checking my profile but what i will say is that they have a well laid out strategy for the future a very good coach,lots of ambition and have put together a very good squad for 2025.
Will we get anywhere near defeating them on the pitch i very much doubt it

Hope you feel this passionately about Danson at Wigan putting hisson on the board there. It happens in a lot of businesses, it's not just an FC thing.

Just out of interest which experienced sports administrator should Pearson or Thirkill have appointed instead? Gus Gould?

Shame you didn't go to that fans forum, you could've told Myler all about your much better plan and how to roll it out.
