Depends how much his partners dad is going to give him to spend I suppose.

It was, but I've deleted it now we've brought Richie Myler on board, the only way is up now

Wigan were always going to win and win comfortably, but for Cas to not even be a able to muster 5 minutes of resistance to start a cup game is awful. And that's coming from a Hull fan!

0-20, 18 minutes gone. I think that's where my listening ends.

0-14 now

10-0 Wigan inside 10 minutes. It's going to be an absolute pummelling.

Oh well, nothing to see here. Just jam tomorrow. It's the hope that kills you.

The club have now officially announced that Hoy and Brown have left the club. Gives us a few quota spots and an awful lot of cap space if an injection of cash is indeed imminent.

I saw someone saying that Nu Brown had requested a meeting with James Clark a couple of days ago and handed in his resignation claiming that the coaching was a shambles. No direction, no gameplan, not listening to players etc. The fallout of this meeting being that Smith got the chop. Totally unsubstantiated of course but it would tie in with the reports that Brown has also left the club. I tend to think that the timings are too much of a coincidence, and whoever is buying/investing in the club had made it a condition of his investment that he wanted the decks cleared to bring in new players/coach.

See the previous 10 or so posts on this thread.

I'm not bothered about a "character," I just want someone who has a decent amount of wealth and makes sound decisions (business and rugby). If we get things right on the field we have the fan base, catchment area and facilities to be successful without the gimmicks.

Yeah I heard that too, although I'm not sure if there's substance to that one. Sounds like big changes are happening anyway, which certainly isn't a bad thing.

Lots of rumours doing the rounds at the minute. Potentially the most significant one is that the club has been sold to Malcolm Walker and will be announced very soon. Malcolm Walker is from Hull and a former Hull FC player. He owns Victoria Plum and is worth upwards of £200m Would be the best news in a long time if this turns out to be true.

In the club statement there's a quote from Pearson saying that further restructuring of the club will happen in the coming days. I very much hope that part of that is that new investment has been secured.

I think his contract ended at the end of this year anyway, so in this case probably not that much.
