The type of player I definitely want in my team. What a great attitude from him and his dad. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hereford-united-hull-city-jarrod-293147
Yeah he appears grounded and I like his work rate so long as he doesn't rush another clearance like he did at Villa.
“I knew Tony Pennock (City’s current first team coach) because he’d played for me when I was manager at Newport,” said Beadle. “We’d stayed in touch and I’d mentioned Jarrod to him because a few clubs were showing an interest. “Tony watched him a couple of times and was very keen. Jarrod had offers from West Brom and Wolves but him and his Dad chose Hull in the end. “Jarrod hadn’t been paid in months, the same as all the young lads. The new owners came in that summer and wanted to keep these players but because of how long they’d gone without pay they were effectively free agents. Jarrod left for nothing.” Sam Bowen has no doubts why his son finds himself 200 miles from their Leominster home. Nor why that big move has paved the way for a breakthrough with City. “Tony Pennock is the one that convinced us not to go to West Brom or Wolves,” he said. “He’s been the biggest influence in Jarrod being with Hull City, without a shadow of doubt. Somebody ought to show that to that fat, deceitful lying **** **** Steve Bruce who took it upon himself to reap all the credit for Jarrod Bowen at the weekend. The fat ****ing **** stain.
He did acknowledge the input of the staff including scouts in that Yorkshire post interview. None of us are perfect.
lol Steve Bruce says "With Hull being – no disrespect – a backwater, it lets young players flourish." 'Little Hull' still to him I guess. http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spor...ord-for-hull-city-hero-jarrod-bowen-1-8689194
The guy is a massive bellend of epic proportions. I'm surprised it's taken an Aston Villa badge on his top for people to see.
Brucey can't handle the pressure at big clubs. Which is why his most successful spells were with us, Birmingham City and Wigan. He failed at Sunderland and he'll fail at Villa.
In his head he's still at Manchester United. One of the things that I'll never forgive him for is understating us, another is our European cup run that never was. Fat **** him.
Unfortunately that's what we are. We're hardly a hotbed of football in hull are we. An historical lack of hull born players going onto top teams. Even when it was mainly British players in the top league we didn't have any. Apart from Nick. Who else have we produced who has been a top player.
The cliched image of Hull as a backwater, a place at the end of the world where nobody would go is the kind of lazy bullshit that would only be spouted by the ignorant. Don't twist it to say there can't be good footballers, even Bruce tries to make out it's a good place for young players. But his words are just caught up in stereotypes, he just isn't a Hull person so he doesn't get it. There has been potential here, it's the lack of ambition at the top that has been the historical problem.
