We've definitely been penny wise, but pound foolish for sometime.

On reading those anecdotal examples you have to say Grix can have some latitude for the for difficulties of his task.

At least running parallel with these types of reports now are the soothing tones of the new organ-grinder.

Quote:Hull FC are closing in on fresh investment as plans are put in place for what is hoped can be the start of a bright new era.

Serious About RL understands that Thirkill and another unnamed potential investor visited the club’s training hub at the University of Hull earlier this week, taking a look around Hull’s new facilities and catching a glimpse of pre-season training.

Laughable that the club thought it was saving money cutting free breakfasts (with a kitchen on site at the Uni the cost of that would have been peanuts) while continuing to hire and fire unsuitable overseas players on big salaries.

I've said it before and I say it again Pearson needs to go, he's led this club into disarray. It'll be a waste of Thirkhills cash if he's the one spending it. Better sports CEO's out there for what would be a big salary.

You get the feeling something is going to happen soon.

Wonder why anybody would put money into a RL team?

Unless you have land you can build social housing on.

Nobody sensible would as even the 'sucessful' clubs like Saints are losing cash. But Thirkhill says he has been watching the game since 1968 so like most of us has got bitten by the bug. And given there seems to be little to no chance of ever buying the Rhinos maybe realises it's a rare chance to own a club

Let's be honest, if thirkill is worth a couple of hundred million, what it will cost to buy and bankroll us is peanuts. Probably worth it to him to keep myler occupied although I did see mylers missus is also an investor so maybe it's her






The poor man's bonaire
