He wont have been on peanuts at Hull and in order to get him to walk away from a side that was the current Grand Finalist as well as him having a testimonial around the corner was never going to be cheap. That is not withstanding probably factoring into the contract the money that he owed Hull for paying his legal fees for his courtcase whilst he was there.
Given that we didnt have to pay a fee for such an influential player would have probably persuaded us to push the boat out a bit aswell.

We missed a trick there, we could have had the "PNG Triads" T-shirts for the last 3 seasons!

Big Dave T wrote:Correct. The only outstanding legal action that could be taken would be for breach of contract should Hull want to take that action or get proof of an illegal approach by Rovers which currently doesnt exist. My personal opinion here is that FC wont follow anything up here and just leave things be as they are.
