If I've said that please link to it otherwise it's another one of those untruths that the voices in your head keep whispering to you when you're in your little padded room

| I've heard about 10 reasons why watts was sold, all of them supposedly from good sources and each as plausible/implausible as teh next. Fact is we've lost a top quality player and not been able to replace that quality as yet so are poorer for it

He apparently didn’t think he was getting value for money.'"
Correct. And thats partly due to Watts being sat in the stands too often due to red cards. I said last season that 2 of those red were unlucky (bordering on unjust - the one on Gale and the one on McIllorum). But the fact remains that Watts became a player which the officials will have been watching that much more closely due to reputation.
The Red v Wire was just completely avoidable but for some pseudo macho BS he wanted to display which then got him a 3 game ban. If you were paying his wages, would you for give than? If it was a one off, perhaps. If it was the fourth time in 12 months?????
There are then the stories (I use this term as I don't know for fact the truth on this), but his refuelling habits and punctuality have been questioned.
At what point is it you draw the line?

| Quote: bonaire "Whilst i have no knowledge of the decision or what prompted it,i very much doubt Adam Pearson made that decision.
For me it would be Radfords decision which was supported by Pearson and probably Gaz Ellis had some imput.
Not getting value for money is way off the mark.After all he could have missed more games than the suspensions through injury so would the clubs owner instruct the coach to get rid because the player was not value for money as he was injured.
There is obviously something that has gone on in the background with Watts and Radford and we have to back the clubs decision.
The only thing i would criticise is not leaving the decision until the end of the season or until we had a suitable replacement.'"
Re the point highlighted, of course not, but no player goes out with the indention to get themselves injured, these are unavoidable. The Red V wire was very avoidable ...

At the end of the season.

Problem with that is we spend a season showing Fash and co that it’s fine to take the p1$$ if you’re talented enough. Not really aligned to a fair play/hard work culture.

Well, we will agree to disagree here. Having someone who is disrupting the camp, often made unavailable by their own action and probably (I dont know this) one of the higher earners in the squad for another 7-8 months would not be the example to set to the likes of Fash / Masi / Downs / anyone else you care to name.
Otherwise Hull would become a place players could sign for and they could instantly take the p!$$ knowing that they would not be shipped out until the end of the season.

What other untruths, you mean Pearson lying to fans about Westerman when he knew full well the club had to release him due to SC, Motu Tony deceiving fans in his statement in the HDM when he said we had the space under the SC to sign Lee Smith when later on it was cnfirmed we don't have any salary cap (space). what else?
Oh yeah, short memory eh, page one ...
Rovers board is just underneath the FC one, why not post on there....

The lie about Shaul being bullied by Radford was a personal favourite.

Exactly!
I just don't understand why some don't get it?
How much money has Person spent rebuilding the club, and how much has Radford had to put up from fans in his first couple of seasons, in trying to clear out the deadwood at the club?

Untruths like me calling you a racist pig.
As for your pathetic attempt at proving I'd said we'd paid £100k for the kid from london, POST SOME REAL EVIDENCE YOU DUMB MOFO.
What you think you read and what you actually read are so far apart it's unreal. You're like some walter mitty character.
