Match Day Thread Hull City v Brentford

Well that was very much my suggestion to you, so let's both take that advice!

**high fives**

 

That's my thinking too

 

Toral has been a big miss for me. We performed much better, reflected by good results when he was fit and in the team.
We also need some leaders in this team, we don't have a single one at the moment!

 

wasn’t sure if this was posted anywhere , not sure where it’s from

 

Decent response TBF. I have a feeling either him or papa will be doing an I review with either burnsey or the YP within the next 2 weeks

 

It all depends on your time horizon.

 

Cant disagree and yes those halcyon days still resonate with many of us and for me the pinnacle of my support for City. But we never quiite made the leap to Division One even though the season after we were promoted from the Third Division it looked for a while that we might. But sadly it was not to be. But to give the Allams their due we did under there stewardship lets not forget that. Yes they have made lots of mistakes and probably will continue to do so and I am no fan of theirs however think that buying young promising players and developing the academy is the way to go. Lets hope they are succesful.

 

You do realise that we got to the Premier League before the Allams stewardship don't you?

 

Most people would have done the same. Can someone ask what the revised price to sell the club is and are they serious in wanting out. You get the impression the idea of bringing in young players on a minimum wage and selling them for millions is a better business proposition than what they are doing now.

 

If those payments are taking 2-3 years to come in then it looks like we'll have these two ****s for the same period.

 

Would have thought it could be written into a deal, as it's guaranteed income.

 

We did a bit of yo-yoing with them at the helm however.

 

You have to remember that the likes of you and I (life supporters of our Club) have no resemblance whatsoever with owners who have invested their money in the hope of seeing a return of said investment. My investment was 2 and 6 pence through the turnstile just to see a game of football when I first went to Boothferry Park. It's has now been up to £30, pre-booked but the experience is no better - inflation taken into consideration.

 

So when the Bowen deal stated £xxm up front, it’s not really up front?

 

I think it's more along the lines of the Initial figure is guaranteed but sprees over a couple of years as with most transfers

 

I know most transfers are staged payments. To me when they say ‘up front’ then that’s what it is, a payment up front. It’s quite misleading.

 

Agreed! But that's how pretty much everyone words it TBF

 

So much is up front and the rest is in staged payments. All football clubs operate like this.
