He must be turning in his grave.

Apologies for continuing the derailment of the excellent original thread.

I wonder who's going in to bat for the players when they have their chat Ehab.

They could with someone like Glyn Hodges back in the late 90s who took David Lloyd to school re training and his mistaken belief that running and fitness was the key to success. "How come Kenya don't win the World Cup/" was I think the jist of Glyn's comments.

You would need a Warren Joyce, a Les Mutrie or even an Ashbee to represent you.

Don't see any standouts in the current squad ready to assume that mantle.

 

More and more people are starting to see the ugly game and all of its deformities.

Here’s hoping this pandemic bursts the bubble.

I hope any club that resorts to using public funds and furloughs low paid workers, is doing so out of necessity, and end ups liquidated. Our own included.

 

When you have retracted your neck old boy, may I respectfully direct you to post #38 on the thread?

Thanks

 

Not sure which comment you think you're responding to, tbh, or even which comment you think you;re responding to.

Me snide?

I'll raise you your shameless self-promotion.

Hull city’s squad value suffers dramatic fall inside a turbulent month!!!

gotta love the hdm and their Positive hull city articles
Strangely it hasn’t affected the scum or rovers

 

Not defending the HDM in any kind of way here (as I sincerely dislike it for non-footballing reasons), but do you think some of this derives from Hull City/football being a national/global sport and Hull City’s concern is part of that pan-global territory. Therefore everything is bigger, every asset costlier or more valuable and essentially provides news of national/international importance with much much higher stakes.

Whereas, HKR, FC and RL are parochial, and hardly anyone outside of Hull would notice/give a **** if they collapsed (especially given the current crisis)?

Of course, there are other factors at play here but consciously or unconsciously, the HDM acknowledges Hull City's greater importance on a daily basis.

 

I don't think that TransfrMarket site covers rugby league. And I don't think there's an RL equivalent (that I can find, at least). And though the figures should be taken with a pinch of salt, there's barely anything for the HDM to report on so stuff like this will get column inches that it usually wouldn't. Rugby transfer fees don't get close to those of football's - most movements are done without one - so I don't think there's really an equivalence there.

And with regards to the HDM in this time of no sports, Phil Buckingham's nostalgia stuff has been excellent. Comfortably the best thing about the paper at present. I think City fans get it pretty good with the HDM, where the sports pages are concerned at least. When news reporters get involved, I appreciate that things go a bit awry. Given the crisis in local newspapers, however, and the decline in print-led journalism more generally, I'd say we're lucky to have a daily local paper that pays such attention to City and has a chief reporter who gets the fan culture and works hard to ensure that the club gets the maximum level of coverage. You don't have to have too long a memory to know that this hasn't always been the case. There will always be some negativity about the reporting - that's the nature of sports more generally - but on the whole I think City's lot is pretty good as thing stand with both the radio and print side of things in Hull.

 

Well rich I disagree and agree with the op

 

Or a story Chris Chilton tells. He went in with Cliff Britain to ask for a pay rise. Two hours later he came out with a £5 a week pay cut after Britain had told him how lucky he was to be wearing the number nine shirt for Hull City every week.

 

Local MP Karl Turner thinks it's important enough to ask not one but two questions in the House of Commons and organise a petition to make RL a special case for funding. Don't remember any local MP uttering a word when City were up at the High Court on a winding up order. It took a friend of mine working at ERCC to lend them the cash to bail them out and. It eventually cost him his job although everything was up and above board some people at ERCC objected to public money helping a football club although the council eventually made money on the deal when Deano was sold and the loan was paid back. HCC never offered a bean.

 

Ehab Allam is routinely depicted as some kind of Jim Carrey buffoon, but the idea that any of our squad could somehow get the better of him in some economic or financial bargaining is risible.

 

Nasty old Look North have just been highlighting the plight of the game of rugby league, with both a Hull clubs being mentioned, they never mentioned City’s plight once though, so **** ‘em I’m asking for my licence fee back.

 

Saw that and thought what a shame it would have been the worlds biggest derby today.

 

Was it that simon Clark ****er?he's one smarmy horrible **** he is....**** him and look north and RL

 

He's just acting out of self-preservation. Better to have 3 local clubs to cover, more jobs for the boys.

Remember the golden rules: all 3 clubs are as big as each other, they all have equally difficult leagues to play in and Hull is unique and fortunate to have 3 clubs all enjoying 33.33% of available local support.

 

He interviewed me the day the Allams took over at the KC Stadium as it was then. You're spot on mate, he is a right smarmy ****. That Crispin Rolfe is also an 'orrible twat.

Keeley can do no wrong though.
