Despite all the fuss from Derek and others this is meant to be a positive of the IMG system, an investor can see a club is safe for a few years (most things are a 3 year average) so the risk of going down and losing it all is reduced.
I'm not a fan of all the IMG idea but people do get a bit misty eyed over the relegation battle, generally it led to one good attendance for the clubs involved (like the famous battle of Belle Vue where fans were sat in roofs of houses) but SL could have lost Leeds, Rovers and now us for good in recent years and there simply aren't teams in the Championship capable of 10k crowds sat waiting

| You'd think Londo were a new club the way people are going on about them, they have been around over 40 years, people are interested in London rugby league, even when they were good.
Apart from a load of effort and a few players they have brought through the system, I'm not sure what they offer to SL

The timescale was always the back end of the year supposedly.'"
Would Myler be here if his father in Law wasnt involved?
Simple answer no

| Quote ="Roam Ranger"I don't have any issues with a potential new owner being a fan of another club. It could be that he fancies owning a rugby club after all these years and knows that Leeds isn't an option. He's seen FC and thinks we have potential. Similar to Adam Pearson back in the day when he was at Leeds United and bought Hull City. I think that it's fair to say that he gave it his all whilst their owner and there was never any questions about his affiliations with Leeds. So for me, there doesn't have to be a but and it can purely be something that is seen as a worthwhile investment opportunity. Time will tell of course. That's if it's even Thirkill that's investing in the first place, which we still don't know.
As for moving us out of the stadium, personally I would prefer us to have our own ground but I don't know if that's a possibility or not. Back when we moved in, everything seemed so perfect. A shiny new stadium, long term lease, good relationship with City and the SMC. Now everything feels so fragile and precarious. And the KC/KCOM/MKM has rarely felt like our home because of it.'"
I disagree. I think the relationship is currently pretty good. if you go into the main reception there's a big Hull FC montage in there and plenty of our branding around the place. The difficulty for us is the cost of being in such a large stadium when we don't need it other than the derbies. It comes with additional costs. When city got into the premier league the rates bill went up significantly and we were forced to pay our share whilst rovers continued to pay a relative pittance. The main issue is we've not really leveraged the benefits of the stadium whilst copping for the disadvantages

no one is moving the club. Where would you move it to where there are 20k+ supporters within 30 minutes travel time?

I absolutely agree the relationship has been improving. I guess I still have ill feelings about it all after what happened with the Allam's. It's their tenure that left me feeling that our tenancy has never really been that secure.

They've been the only ones that let the side down. Even Duffen despite his 'loadsamoney' traits seemed to be quite tolerant of us. City once moved a game to a lunchtime kickoff to accommodate our playoff game the same evening.
The SMC still need us I feel, otherwise there's another 13 match days of revenue to find and despite the unexpected arrival of Coldplay concerts won't fill the void.

I read it as moving/building a new ground not actually moving the club. Both are as unlikely as each other.

| No doubt there will have been talks between potential new owners and the SMC already?
Myler has talked about the potential crowds Hull can get, so can’t see them planning on building a smaller venue.

He's going to be massive for us isn't he. Probably our most important signing since Gaz Ellis.
Him and Rapana really will drive standards to a whole new level.
Some good comments about Hardaker too.

Yeah agree, all roads point to a change of ownership on the back of this and Mylers statement. Sooner its announced the better obviously.
I also think there will be at least another 2 or 3 signings to be announced and get over the line.

| Tomorrow whatever some on here might say we say good bye to one of the clubs all time greatest players, who has given his all, stayed loyal to the club and buggered his body by putting it on the line for years and indeed he is one of the two 2016 immortals we bid goodbye to again Catalans, as the last remnants of that golden era team departs forever. However for me and all of us 'faithfuls' who can't retire, get transferred or just walk away next week is crucial for us all.
If all we get is a few flimsy announcements around goodbyes and hello's, and brighter days ahead stuff then we look set for a long hibernation and weeks of hanging around hoping for an announcement, one that might, quite frankly, in the long term save the club. Next week would be the idea time with foreclosure for those currently involved in running the club, but if it down to the legal bods who knows. one things for sure we need at least an incling of what's happening at our club going forward (if anything).
I think those of us left hanging in there out of love deserve at least that.
The fact is, we all need some hope and the club need a big incentive to even get 25% of the stay away subscribers engaged again, come season ticket time. Thats the big hope for me, but it's a big ask and with hull fc, Adam and the roaring silence on the situation we have endured for weeks, realistically I'm afraid it makes it an even bigger unlikelyhood.

| Leigh have posted some really good videos on twitter of them saying goodbye to players who have been with them a couple of years individually. We've done very little for a bloke who has played 450 games for us, won MOS, won the cc twice and been with us 16 years. Pretty poor 8mo. I know there was an interview with him the other day hut much more should have been made to encourage people to come and say goodbye to him and carlos who have racked up 25 years service between them
