but Asiata is a smarch

Leeds have just announced a new president who will start on November 1. Wonder if it's linked to Thirkill at all

She is replacing Thirkill

Thirkill has left the role as President. Maybe that means one thing?

Sounds like things are finally moving then.

Said ages ago that thirkhill would have to relinquish his role as Rhino's president to get involved with FC and there you go, he's coming

Things falling into place.

No way would the club announce a £60 per head event if things were just the same.

Very promising news, get him across the M62 to sign before he changes his mind

As others have said, it seems highly unlikely that this announcement is just a coincidence.

Gill Spencer takes over as Club President for Leeds on November 1st so I am guessing that's probably the earliest we are likely to hear some official news.

With the first deadline for memberships being 3rd November i imagine the club might want to get any news out as early as possible

If it is Thirkill is anyone worried that a lifelong Leeds fan might only be doing it to give his son in law a job ? What happens if Richie does the dirty on his daughter, once a pork swordsman's, always one. I would might prefer a local based fan investor but we don't seem to cultivate them this side of the river.

I doubt the timing of him stepping down from the role at Leeds has any real relevance on the timescale of potentially buying shares in Hull. Players/coaches/staff commitments tend to run until Nov 1st for SL clubs. Once it’s all sorted legally I’m sure they’ll announce something. That’s even if it’s ever announced in his name.

Do we have any other choice? No SL club is self sufficient at the moment and nobody from the City is interested.

I still think people are jumping the gun with it all, but I think it’s safe to say the main motivation if AT is the investor will be to set RM up in a decent job, so it’s only logical that he’s going to want to make sure he’s provided with the resources to make a good fist of it isn’t he? Like I said we don’t really have a lot of choice, with the Covid loans and TV deals it looks next to impossible to grow organically in SL at the moment.

Home and Away kits to be released in the next couple days, suspect they will be influenced by the 2005 kits

Yes they club has done simliar anniversary shirts in the past and have recently been posting about the 2005 shirt.

Hopefully the 2025 kit will be similar, both the 2005 kits were smart. This season's home shirt was a really poor design, too much black.

I loved the blue away kit, reminds me of the epic semi final v St Helens. I have Jamie Thackray's shirt from that campaign.

The design of the kits, especially the home kit is one thing the club seems to get right more often than not and always sell in numbers.

I always prefer the home kit to be something traditional. Not that bothered what the away kit looks like or the magic and charity kits.

Tan Kasler has left Hull City which may not be good news as he and Pearson have openly said how well they get on...but then again it might not be Pearson signing up to the new lease now...

All the shirts this year apart the alzeimers one we're absolutely rubbish this year. Another 3xample of nobody at the club giving a toss

Looking at some of the new range the club has just released doesn't excite me at all . Looks like the merch is going grey now . Hope the other merch is a lot better .

Wasn't keen on the home kit but thought the away and third kits were nice.

I usually just buy the training gear and thought they were pretty good quality with Castore.

Think that is harsh, the home kit wasn't my favourite style as I'm not keen on shirts with a lot of black but it's one of the 'styles' we have to rotate to stop it being repetitive. We had a V and traditional hoops the years before.

Just had a thought...would a CEO vacancy at Hull City interest Pearson? Strangers things have happened

I'm sure it would

Seen someone mention Tan is off and Pearson is replacing him. Not sure how true that is tho?!
