Also had another worrying thought - joel monoghan doesn't currently have a club. He's a complete slug these days and we shouldn't be anywhere near him either

Either he's lying about the parlous nature of the clubs finances or he's lying about his intention to reinvest the cash.'"
Even if he reinvests some of the cash to strengthen the team, he doesn't have to be lying about the finances. All he has said is that we need people to buy passes to support the club financially. That bit's not rocket science.
To me, it shows his commitment to Hull FC.
Being prepared to spend to, hopefully, bring success, and therefore increase the cash flow.
Speculate to accumulate. |

Could well be neither of those things, as you know.
We are at full cap with Westerman in. Say he's on £100k. We release him, but don't have the cash to replace his salary due to the parlous nature of the club's finances. But wait - we get a fee of £150k! Use some of that to replace Westerman bringing in a player on no more than £100k (otherwise we'd be over the cap) and use the balance to ease financial stress. You inserted the word "all". Has this been stated?
As Macklemore would say "Got gas in the tank, cash in the bank". |

I think it was Salford who were after him but Lancashire newspaper reports indicate the deal has stalled and he might have to stay at Warrington who don't now have any cap left! Thats where that rumour has come from but he's too slow for me and I doubt its true! |

Hmmm.

It would seem so many are blinded with their faith they can't see the reality of what was and has happened...

I said the same thing ages ago and said I thought Westerman would leave, think this has been on the cards a long time

| Quote: Stanley Unwin "I'm never quite sure what people expect to hear from the club regarding the possibility of selling players? Statements like 'We've not had any approaches from anyone regarding player X' or 'we have no intention of selling, he's a big part of our plans' are part and parcel of not just our club or even rugby league, but every sport where a player has a monetary value.
Every player has a price, but you don't make it easy for other teams to come and buy them on the cheap or free. If AP said something like, "Joe is unhappy and probably won't sign a new contract, so we'll listen to offers", as honest as it may be, doesn't maximize the potential value of that player.
I don't give a toss if AP or MT, were economical with the truth in statements to the press, so what? As long as they got the best deal they could for the club in the circumstances, then great, good on em.
We are fans. We don't have a divine right to be told every set of circumstances leading to a player's transfer. We leave that to the custodians of the club to deal with in whatever manner they choose. One thing I am sure of with AP is that he wants this club to make money. He has a a vested interest. The only way a rugby league club makes money is by performing well. Its as simple as that.
I just don't understand how people get so wound up about things like this (although to be fair it seems to be a select few)'"
Agree completely there are some right drama queens around |

They have been chasing him for a year according to some RL journo's. I reckon if we'd managed to get Frank in last year (we tried apparently) he'd have been sold then. |

Agreed. I t also means we have rid of two of the three supposed bad eggs, and got cash. Watt's I think has probably matured out of it.
Really happy personally over the whole situation, think we have done better business than any time in the last 7 or so years. If we sign a decent outside back ,then all is good but don't want a signing for signing sake I would rather we kept the money until we needed it. |

Lineham has asked to stay a few weeks back , but also asked for a pay rise , probably what he's getting at Warrington . Not sure what the outcome was , but I can imagine raiders reply .
