Maybe they didn't think it newsworthy or sport? I know this has come to be seen as something of huge import in certain quarters, but 'business (finally ) submits accounts' or 'Rovers running at a roughly League-average loss during period of rapid development' are not startling headlines. As has been shown on this board, with varying degrees of success, a more negative spin can be put on it. However, HDM and RH journalists won't necessarily share the worldview of a group of very committed (including a couple who probably should be committed ) Hull Trolls. The media's failure to follow the troll's agenda is either a dark conspiracy or a reflection of how mad certain obsessions have become - I look forward to finding out which it is in Wilf's diary.

I think they include it in order to try and artificially inflate the value of the club for potential purchasers. I also think that's a forlorn hope as anyone with an ounce of sense will see straight through that particular ploy.

Players are not assets in any normally-accepted sense of the word. Which is why it's against normal accounting practice to include them as such. Harmless, but ultimately pointless.

Keeping up with the Jones's, at whatever the cost !!

Well done to all concerned !! I hope that competing with those B&W Bstds for two or three seasons was worth it !!

A small club like yours with it's small income and small fan base cannot compete and never will be able to compete financially with the big boys. Your on-the-pitch progress over the last three seasons is there for all to see but at what cost ?

You are £4M in debt (and rising), you are at your historic saturation point wth attendances and you rent a ground that needs much investment, and yet while Rome is burning around him, your Emporer Grudgehull sits on his throne, continuing to wonder just how to "get one over" on the big brother from the West.

You really do not need to be a Hull fan to see how his obsession has put you in some serious trouble.
