Barmby and Taylor? Wtf? I think someone's winding us up. That's not actually a real thing is it?

Probably more as board advisors, both High level sportsmen who have played at the top of their sports in this country.

Taylor will have a few connections too.

Saying that Barmy should have a bit of money, 20 plus million in transfer and earning 20k a week average for 20 years.

Hmm okay we shall see I guess eh, I know Barmby and AP are fairly close professionally

As long as we have some money invested in the team on and off the pitch and they have the best interests of the club at heart, I'd take just about anyone on our board.

If the rumours are true and its Walker, Barmy and Taylor, you have money and people who care about the club.

Is walker known to have any love of the club at all? Don't know too much about him other than he used to own Victoria plum? Is he even a rugby league fan lol?

Walker played about fifty games for Hull in the early 70s.

Wow learn something new every day I genuinely never knew that

Walker owns Walker modular and is minted

Is Pete Murray MKM linked with this consortium ?

He's involved in one of the rumours - the one with Walker, Barmby and Taylor.

Not to be confused with Sir Malcolm Walker who founded Iceland Food.

The local Malcolm Walker is rich but as rich as his namesake.

New Hull Live article seems to suggest a new DOR is already on board. Probably get announced tonight I'd imagine?
Says investment talks still ongoing and likely finalised later this season. 3 seriously interested parties.

Edit: Tomlinson says DOR to be announced next week. Starting to think we won't really hear much from Pearson tonight and will keep everything quiet and cryptic.

If a DOR is close to being appointed that process surely doesnt happen overnight so it seems possible the club had given up on Smith several weeks ago.

Fact DoR is already agreed screams James Webster

Hope the new Dor has more to work with than just the bear necessities....
