| Quote ="tommyfromhull"Investment is surely inevitable.
Myler, paying players off, offering about massive contracts to marquee players and coaches.
.'"
People keep saying these things as proof of investment but let’s look at the facts.
Yes we must have paid some of the remaining 6 months of Hoy’s contract. If it was made clear to him he wasn’t getting another next year though it was in his interest to get something sorted elsewhere long term so I wouldn’t imagine it would have been a huge pay off. Brown simply walked away and I’m sure Ock and Pele found a new club before we released them. We might be contributing some wages but it’s not out of the realms of possibility that Bradford are paying them what they’d have earned at Hull without the needs of a pay off. Even if we are, we’ve wasted money on player pay offs before it’s nothing new, it’s part of the reason why we are in a financial mess.
The Myler links are intriguing, but maybe we just take it on face value that he seemed keen on the job and because of his inexperience in such role he wouldn’t have commanded a huge salary.
As for next years recruitment, look at it objectively and to me it just seems done on the cheap yet again. They’ve traded off wages with much longer contracts than they’d get elsewhere and whenever a player is in demand from another club we’ve lost out. The Lam talk was just a rumour, nobody knows if anything what he was offered.

Hoy didn’t sign for Cas for a couple of weeks if I remember rightly?
We offered Rowley, Lam and Lam all big bucks. And that’s the people we know of. I’d be very surprised if we weren’t in for Bateman and Whitehead.
It’s a massive job on the club’s hands. Steady progression is what we need, not trying to play trick cards like Josh Reynolds to get us out of a hole.

| Well Mr Pearson, you are finally reaping what you sow. After years of cutting corners and making cutbacks all while still taking your 250,000K a year out of the club has finally seen us hit rock bottom.
With the IMG criteria,you had written this season off even before a tackle was even made and yet again taking us loyal supporters for granted.
Even with the rumoured investment, new coach and players i wish you good luck trying to sell season passes for next season because you are going to need it.

Agree, he has past his sell by date at the club. No money and no leadership skills so time to go.
People thought Kath was bad but even under the dreary Agar days we still scraped into the playoffs somehow. I don't think Pearson has ever fully understood RL.

I'm the same usually, I was 50/50 this year but I got one, but ive definitely not got value for money, missed a few games out of choice because I just don't see the point in wasting my time. I'm seriously considering not bothering next year.

| The only way to get fans short term, is a real push with recruitment and somehow sign 2/3 exciting signings.
Long term, improvements on the field.

As I feel at the minute I don't think any recruitment would drag me back in.

Would have to be really impressive, but just don't see that happening.
Expect us to sign 2 overseas players who are fringe players like Asa etc.
Another domestic forward and a young back.
If we signed Lam and Whitehead, signing a couple of fringe NRL players wouldn't seem so bad.
Lam and Whitehead

I'll be there my hobby as well.
As a season ticket holder the only game I've had any value out of it this year was the other week against Wigan. £300 plus well spent

What about trainspotting? The Cooke Report loves it. He's made loads of friends on the platforms.
