Not saying that at all, but you can only buy so many players out of their contracts and offer wages up to the salary cap.
Hull fans got just as excited when Pearson said that he would pay fees to bring people to the club - but sometimes players just dont want to move and clubs dont want to sell

Fair point, I appreciate we aren't realistically going to get the team to possibly win anything for probably a good 3-4 years. However if we get a top class coach and backroom team in and manage to bring in a couple of marquee signings, then other players perceptions will change and the club can get some real momentum going.
I think it's different for Hull because we are coming from the lower region of Superleague where real momentum can be gained, compared to when Pearson took over at Hull who must of already been at full cap or very close to it.
If you consider what Salford are spending on players this year we must have an extra 500K to spend in 2014, excluding the salaries of about 10 players coming out of contract.

I'd say we have closer to a million to spend, at the moment we're only on about 700k for wages.

| Another one for the squad from the NRL with a British Passport - ex Red - David Gower - playing very well for Manly currently - not sure about contract length there.
