Have no idea if its true but my mate reckons we are waiting until the 1st August to sign anyone. Financial reasons. Would there be some benefit to it Peter? Saxton that is not Odemwingie.
Fella I work with is a WS fan and he said Taylor is the best academy player they have had for a few years now.
Might be as simple as 31 July being Financial Year End... though I'd have thought purchases would have positively affected P&L reducing liabilities in Corp Tax. Someone will know..
Might be as simple as that being the date when the first tv money is paid? Year end is end of June isn't end?
Year end is 30 June. Last accounts filed were to 30 June 2015. These can be viewed on Companies House web site under the name of Hull City Tigers Limited
Even if we were waiting until August 1st before making signings, there'd be nothing to stop us agreeing deals and just putting the paperwork through on the 1st.
Maybe it's as simple as not wanting to pay an extra 1, 2, 3 weeks wages for 'nothing' before the season actually starts???
If we dont get Robbo signed up asap then I can see us selling him now. He'll go for nowt next year if we dont.
Id like to challenge that point. Not even putting FACT after that sentence would convince me they (well ehab) are not that stupid.
Villa have offered cash plus striker Rudy Gestede for Hull City's top scorer last season Abel Hernandez. The bold bid reported in The Times, is unlikely to be met with much enthusiasm at the KCOM, and is the latest pursuit of Uruguay international Hernandez. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/asto...tory-29569704-detail/story.html#ixzz4FzBg68Nn
If Villa offer £14m + Gestede then we have to take it, if West Ham offer £14m for Robertson then we have to take it. I think Ehab might be fancying going 'moneyball' + a 'Head Coach', then a partnership with an agent to bring in cheap < £2m & Bosman signings. A very risky strategy that could see us relegated by January
