The people who probaby made the decision to call won't be Hullites or Hullensians (whatever we are) and the sports dept won't have any say over what goes on in the "news" section. They will not care if circulation drops and more redundancies are made, they will just move on to their next "project" - don't forget if they were any good they wouldn't be working there!

www.sporthull.co.uk/rugby_league ... p?ID=12364 Just makes us look more like a club with no clue really. The problem is when you decide not to talk to the media you then get no chance to make your own points on the various issues. It seems that every few months something else turns up and bites us on the a$$. What's next???

They do that anyway mate. The standard of journalism is at kindergarten level both in the local paper and on blunderside. As has been stated elsewhere this wouldn't happen to the beloved Hull City. Not sure about the cutting of links - I can see reasons for and against doing it. On balance it's probably better not to but if a siege mentality arises as a result of it and transfers itself into the minds of the players we might see some benefit. I'd like to see the fans back the club on this and as a group tell the mail to f*** off but doubt that will happen in the current climate.

Doubt many people on here buy the wail anyway except maybe the day after a game. The paper is complete garbage.

Don't bother taking your blinkers off... the blind leading the blind

If the club didn't sort Reardon out with a medical prior to contract talks after all that had happend to Cockayne then it show them upto being a shower!!!

Actually agree with Basil here The fact we are signing players before they have a full medical is shocking with or without a clause. Not to mention that we then passed the new signing onto the rpess and on the website.

Now ok maybe sign him with a prelim contract subject to medical/visa/court case (whatever may apply) but don;t announce it till it is certain.
It isn;t like he was a big signing that would have the supporters waiting in anticipation for his first game.

I also disagreed with the signing although the reasons for doing it were good ones. Hull have acted totally professionally in every respect regarding it and the only foolish ones in this case are those who have tried and failed to ridicule the club as a result, both on here and in the high quality/flagship local media.

Another one suckered.

Feel free to post which parts of the statement you feel were lies and your evidence.

You'll excuse me if I don't hold my breath.

No its isnt, it makes perfect sense, a player that would have done a very good job for us became available and the club acted quickly to sign him in order to make sure that he didnt join somebody else, but becuase of the speed they acted quickly they included a clause so that he could be very throughally assessed without having to rush it and more importantly didnt obstruct any treatment or scans which current players needed, Im guessing that the club dont have a magic wand or complete freedom and use of medical equipment and hospitals whenever they want and I assume there will be a restriction on how many players they can send for scans etc in a period of time, especially over the bank holiday period. As it turns out there was a problem and Hull were able to stop the deal and save us having another player on the treatment table long term, it really is that simple.

Is this why there's not even an abbreviated match report on the HDM website 16 hours after the final whistle?
