Uncertainity regarding Moa, and O'Meley, and now why is turner holiding out!
I'm sorry but if you have "best mates in Hull, and are enjoying "the time" in Hull, signing an extension is a no brainer providing the contract details/wages are good, so why is he making us wait?
Seems ever since the Ellis signing everything contract player/contract wise has gone down hill..
We have an out and out full back gone, let's be honest we struggle with options without him.. Lost our best player and most creative/attacking player down our left edge, we could be loosing turner our hottest prospect, and on top of that, O'meley will probably retire next season, moa is still a question mark, apart from Lynch, that would leave a pack of; Lynch, Pitts.....do the maths.
If you want my honest opinion, i'm more worried about next season than this... and half way through the season we shouldn't be doing that, we should be enjoying this year...
What's your thoughts, is something going on behind the scenes that we don't know about?'"
Yes, he is.

Whoa. Our quota of non fed trolls is full.
We don't want him or could find a loophole for him.
Clearly a City fan

No, certainly not, Crooks and maybe Crookes will replace him.

| Nobody wants to see any of our players leave especially the likes of Manu, Turner etc. but as has already been said, this merely wipes the canvas clean quicker than we thought. PG, Bomber and AP can look to strengthen their team in their way with a pot of dosh to play with.
Draw up the sails, the boat is ready for launch

You'd think if he was a City fan he'd have a lot more to worry about than trolling our board. But then, I suppose you could say the same for if he was a Rovers fan.

| Quote: clubfoot fc "ha ha love these threads this time last year people wanted rid of sharp and turner now he's our hottest prospect.'"
I know its funny as ferk, last year Sharp was the turnstile everyone wanted rid of and the seasons scapegoat, he was even offered up as a lamb for slaughter by the doughnut coach at that time, and turner well he was just a bit part cant tackle , no speed, no sense agar purchase last year and now they are both being touted as demi gods ha ha you couldnt write this stuff could you

| You've brought a new coach in, who a lot of people seem to rate. He now wants to build his own squad. I think those who said the current one needs dismantling are right. There are some good players, but overall the quality and balance of it hasn't challenged at the top.
For me the key to building something at Hull is to avoid the old mistakes of bringing in a few big names and to invest in your youth set up and bring in quality where you see a gap.
I've enjoyed watching Leeds over the last few years (yes, I know, booo, antichrist etc) because not only have we won things, we've won things using a lot of academy products, and some of our big signings have also been top UK talent. Not only is it more satisfying to see success with that system, but you also get players who are really bought in and committed to what the club wants to do. People like JJB, Sinfield, McGuire and Burrow are good players, but it's been the spirit in the squad that's been the key to success. Gentle will no doubt know that, and that's what he should be trying to do with the cap space the recent departures will create, not just try to bring in a handful of star names to paper over the cracks.
Just my opinion, but a bit of a clear-out is no cause for panic. On the contrary, I can see why you'd be optimistic about it. As an RL fan it'd be great to see Hull playing well and getting massive crowds every week.

Pretty much spot on.
However you haven't criticised our pricing for away fans, called us morons or codheads or even disparaged the city of Hull. Are you sure you're a Leeds fan?

And more to the point, "The Bomber IS Back"? Previous 3 weeks been on here during and post match like a fly on poop. Maybe as a "FC fan" he went to the game?
