Quote: deluded pom? "I doubt we will bb. I'm not so much knocking Aspinwall as knocking Hull. As I said earlier there must be some decent prospects in the academy who deserve a shot at a first team place. If not then what have the coaches been doing for the last few years?'"
Agree, there has to be some decent prospects, but they aren't proven at SL yet. Could you imagine the uproar, if the cover had not been signed and one or two of the young lads buckled under the pressure? The confidence would be in pieces, least having the likes of Aspinwall etc will allow a transition period, and if they dont prove to be good enough, longer term replacements can be signed.
