Quote: GrahamBray "In an interview he did a few weeks back, he spoke of his wish to coach in SL and how big a draw Hull FC were, how he'd be particularly happy if he can get us back among the leading pack. He seems a decent guy who is unlikely to renege on a done deal, particularly with Jed being here, too. I think he sounds like just what we need, a coach that demands high intensity and who the players will respect and with the signings made and rumoured to be happening, next season could be the first for a while to make the crowds happy again.

On another note, Huddersfield could be next years Hull FC if they don't act quickly to halt their slide and player exits, seems Davey may have had enough of wasting his money, with him being disillusioned with the pathetic crowds and poor performance, going by what some of their fans were saying on a forum yesterday.'"


I genuinely think hudds could be at risk under IMG grading, there's no areas they can improve on really, they already had a good ground and good finances, they were 9th last year but if the clubs beneath them all improve (Toulouse, Wakey, Bradford, Leigh and Cas) could they be at risk of being in the championship next year? They've not made many other signings aside from Burgess have they? Wonder if Davey is thinking of pulling the plug?

Quote: Hessle Roader "Dave - to reinforce your views I've just done a quick check of our losing margins from before and after Grix's appointment. In the 8 games before he took over the average losing margin was 29.5 points. In the 9 games since its dropped to 13.1 points. He's made a real difference.'"


Don't we still have to play Wigan twice? Let's see how things are after that

I agree on all apart from Livett, too small and no better than Lane imo, the rest are young and British with plenty of potential. Sadly Huddersfield don't need the money and can't see Davy leaving now he's pumped millions in to them with no return or interest from most of the town for years and years, they'd be in league 1 without him.

I'd take English and Rushton. Livett is a strange one, he looked good at Wire and then Salford , but he hasn't looked the same since and that can be said of a few of their squad, notably Connor, so maybe they were all fed up of Watson , because there looked to be a definite discord between him and some players. If we could do a bit of business with them, English forwards would allow us to make two overseas signings in the backs, assuming that Carlos' place will be freed up.

Would be very smart. He’s been very poor this year. And an English forward would be massive for us. Centre is an issue for us but this season is a write off

Livett would be a punt but versatile and looked good everywhere but hudds. Would be relatively cheap on the cap

Might be worth waiting to see what our crowds drop to next season, if we keep our grade A status and if we manage to pay our debts and get on a decent financial footing before we decide to relegate Huddersfield and take all their players. Davy has consistently put his money where his mouth is over the years can’t see him just letting them go to the wall, and even if he did we might not be much better off.

Still cant see anything other than Wakefield replacing London. Travel costs are a huge question mark over Toulouse. A lot of Bradford's support has drifted away during their decade in exile and Odsal is a money drain.

Huddersfield and Salford drag SL down due to lack of interest. Theres been a league leaders shields, CC finals, a grand final, men of steel...yet only 3 men and a dog turn up

I was told “it was his wife’s dying wish that he stays at Huddersfield ad infinitum”. Can’t see him giving up on them.

Yep, he’s pumped money in for years with a varied level of success it has to be said but he’s always kept them somewhere near. I don’t see that changing.

In contrast it looks like we’ve been or are still close to going to the wall financially and haven’t had a competitive side for 5 years. The only difference is now we’ve had Adam say in couple of interviews that he’s confident of bringing in a couple of mystery investors in by the end of the year. Don’t get my wrong I think AP’s does his best in difficult situation and has taken a hit in his own wallet but I’m not sure the whole investment scenario isnt overstated and is just trying to buy himself some time.

I over heard that the new investors will take over the club 100% but Adam will remain for two years to ensure the transition goes smoothly.

I have lost interest:fonds blancs/Sid.gif



Adam doesn’t own this Club anymore
That’s a fact and I live in Melbourne

This isn’t his money - NO way

Whoever is spending the Cash and it’s a shed load , would first want control!

Wouldn’t you ?

Hope that’s the case if someone does buy the club. AP made it pretty clear that there was no interest from inside the city so I’m guessing they’ll be unfamiliar with the club. Makes sense to have someone familiar around
