Doncaster will have to pay their wages now though - although Hull might be able to cover it indirectly through a 'joint initiative' or by 'sharing resources'.
The fact they've [iboth[/i gone to Doncaster, rather than any other Championship club does make you wonder, certainly. If they'd already spent time there, as I assume they did at York last year, it'd be a bit less suspicious. Then again, it is one of the easier places to travel to from Hull.

Along with my point above, this where a 'partnership' or 'development pathway benefitting both clubs' starts to look a lot like a farm team. I'm not throwing stones - one of our assistant coaches is also head coach of Gateshead, and they had a Rovers badge on their shirt last year.
