Important question...

Are we now the Man City of Rugby League?

Honestly wasn't expecting it to be a 100% takeover and certainly not with that kind of wealth behind the owners. Best thing we could have wished for. As grateful as I am for what AP did for us, it was time for new blood at the top and a new direction.

birds eye or costello? haha

seriously though amazing news, wasnt expecting 100% takeover! thanks Adam for 2016 & 17, but time is right to sell up. Expect pass sales to have a boost too with this news.

Fantastic.
Think there has been a noticeable surge of optimism since Cartwright landed and pre season started. This has taken it up another notch now.
Still be a couple of years away from seeing massive progress in terms of league tables as the squad for next couple of years may not have much wiggle room left, but off the pitch we couldn't be in a better position now.

Interesting insight into how things have unfolded.

Wouldn't it be worth(cheaper)their while buying the KC?
I'm sure the council would consider a reasonable and fair offer. One without strings attached.

Should be a good one tonight.

Felt like the club was a mill stone around Pearsons neck in recent times. He's been ill advised, hot headed and mismanaged the club, but he did help us land 2 CC wins in his tenure.

I'm sure he'll be glad to get this over the line and move into a consultancy role with far less stress.

He certainly leaves a legacy in Hull through his time here and at City.

Immediate thing is to start spending full cap and spending it wisely, with real investment off the field which we’ve hopefully started to see with the likes of Jon Clarke coming on board to help with strength and conditioning.

Might be a slightly more calmer forum this evening .

Club have confirmed Thirkill is attending tonight.

To stay level headed, just bear in mind worth 500 million doesnt mean they have 500 million in the bank!

They will have more then enough to run a successful super league club though.

Great analysis from James Smailes.

I salute you Tarquin. You have your finger on the pulse and gave us hope that this would come to fruition during the desperate times this season.

On a separate note I'm now starting to believe you had a long chat with Mal Meninga even though you can't spell his name correctly

Great news!

I trust our new owners are scouring Exchange and Mart as we speak, looking for a second hand shipping container to give us that IMG A rating!!

In all seriousness, this is a great day for our Club and provides us all with a brighter future.

Must pay a special thank you to Adam. We’ve had many good times and two great Wembley winning days that we’ll remember forever. Yes, it’s been tough in recent seasons, however at least he’s navigated us to a brighter future!

More importantly this should mean the pixel problem will be sorted out.
