I hope the clubs have put conditions on that advance money, otherwise the Red Devils will sign another player they can't afford.

To be fair to Myler even without the investment connections I thought the reaction to his ‘inexperience’ in that type of role was a bit over the top anyways. I think we all expected a Brian Noble type character with decades of experience when the role was first mentioned but a lot of clubs have gone for not long retired players in similar roles. Fitzpatrick and Radlinski spring to mind there’s probably more. Myler comes across as a man who knows what makes a successful environment and that’s exactly what we needed.

Regarding Salford.

I'm not sure what the rules and regulations are around situations such as these, but I wonder if it would be circumspect for a two point penalty deduction to be imposed? There are usually sanctions imposed if a club enters administration, and whilst that isn't the case here, there has to be some form of deterrent applied or what's to stop any of the other clubs asking for an advance.

Whatever the underlying reasons for the situation, Salford have dug themselves into a hole of their own making and/or mismanagement and there should be a price to pay of some kind I would have surmised.

Great Post Wilf, as ever (You must have risen about 5am in order to start typing the latest epic!! )

Agree about next season. I'm also far more enthused than I have been for a number of years. We, as a club, still have an incredible amount of work to do before we can be serious challengers again, and I still think next year will be a hard grind to watch (I will be astonished if we were to win even half of our games), but for the first time in a long while we are once more giving the impression of being a serious club with a clear plan of action and people in the positions of authority who look like they have clear ideas of how to get our great club moving in an upwards direction once again.

Only time will tell how far we are going to go (it always does in the end!) but the Fc rollercoaster is open for business again! Like you say Wilf, it's a journey we are on (journey for a lifetime for most of us on here), a journey all together, a journey which may be exciting, hair-raising, with even still the odd car crash on the way, but one thing's for sure, because it's Hull Fc it won't be dull, it never is with us
