There could be a argument that this is of our own making, not having either the ability or patience in bringing our own youngsters on.

Would Wheeldon be a better option than Dowes/Radford, Graeme Horne better than Washbrook (especially with our system), Tommy Lee or Hodgson better than Obst?

If were not careful the same will happen to Crooks, Lyne, Green, Bowden.

Final warning.

Exactly, you reap what you sow. Personally, I don't think Wheeldon would be better than Radford, Horne would be better than Washbrook but I do think Hodgson would be better than Obst (at hooker, not as a stand in 7). I'd have taken none of them over what we had for this season.

All this crap started in 09 when the season was gone. Instead of giving youth a chance to gain experience in meaningless games, Agar brought in Codobra, Broughton, Tansey.

Speaking of temporary signings, it's nice to see Matt Head on Twitter speaking fondly of Hull FC and showing off his framed Hull FC shirts. Always good to have FC advocates in Oz. It's a shame he was made out of biscuit, could of had good and long career in the game.

also thought the board were a bunch of $ for what they did to sharp...

As did Carvell and Swain.

I know his "rumours" are outlandish but surely he is breaking no rules by posting them? It's not like we haven't heard plenty of made up ones on here over the last few years.

The kid (that's what I'm guessing he is, because he acts like one) is just plain annoying who contributes nothing to the site. Why would you even consider giving him benefit of the doubt. It's pointless him been on the site. Just get rid of him, the sooner the better.

Final warning for what? Putting rumours on the rumours thread?

There is a difference between posting a genuine rumour(that you can possibly back up with a news article or have others back you up) and posting bull you made up in your own head just to annoy the other posters on here.

IMO Your just a troll who needs banning perminently!

Whilst i appreciate what you're saying here, i bet 99% of the tosh on this thread isn't substantiated with any real evidence!

98% actually

I heard a rumour that backs that up

There is still a substantial difference between posting genuine rumours (no matter how unsubstantiated) and posting made-up rubbish to seek attention and annoy. The latter is arguably prohibited under a couple of AUP sections.

Most people post, ill informed rubbish,seek attention and annoy.So?

I don't think there are any ready-made who would be realistically available. I just don't think that's reason to blow money on players for the short term, we'd be better served bringing in those with potential and hopefully developing to the required level along with our own in the 20s.

Yes. You have been warned.

All he does is post made up rumours on here and offers nothing to the site. He's been banned once for it.

=#FF00001.4. Messages intended to destroy threads or to only increase post counts are prohibited
* Users who intentionally aim to prevent conversation on a thread will have their posts removed and risk losing posting rights on the board in question, or to the whole site.

You are just breaking the AUP it's quite clear these are not rumours and just fantasies in your head. If you have a problem PM myself or Paul...
Otherwise carry on and we'll just ban you.

Regards

My rumour is that peter gentle is keen on the fc job.
He has been messed around with Cas and has withdrawn and DH his agent has sent his cv to AP.

Now i know that fc fans would welcome daffy duck to the club as coach as long as its as head coach but i reckon PG would be 1 good fc coach.

You mean like Arsenal do ? And when was the last time they won anything



I know what you are saying and with a better youth set up and a coach who will give youngsters a chance will benefit us eventually.
But at the moment Pearson wants to be raising the attendences and trying to get us to a major final.

Big named players will go along way to acheiving them goals.
Look at stephen Kearney? how long was he here and what did we win while he was here? Do you think people wish we didnt sign him as he was getting on?

Very true that......depends who you know I suppose.

We are signing Joel Tompkins not Sam

No, like Man Utd do. If the right players are available, pay for them. But don't just buy players for the sake of it at over the odds. At the same time, cultivate your own to compliment those you bring.

Pearson can increase attendances with one simple move. We all know what that is.

Firstly, we didn't pay a transfer fee for Kearney, and secondly, every single other forward we had, without exception, was under 30 at the start of the 2005 season. Massively different situation.

Yes we know everyone wants Agar gone but we are not in the position or an attractive club to just say come and sign for us ...Ive got a feeling we have paid over the odds for certain players already what has held us back on the salary cap. The fact of the matter is until we start winning things or at least get to finals on a consistent basis then we will have to pay for players who are in contract or competing for when they are out of contract. The club are not going to just give one of there quality assets for nothing. There doesnt seem much quality out of contract so that just leaves getting the cheque book out and buying the players u need. We need quality players ready to go now not in 4-5 years that is what our academy is supposed to be for. If we can get good quality youngsters or players around the 25 years old region then fine im all for that but many people dont seem to have a clue who we could realistically get. hence why I mentioned a few older brigade who would certainly do us a cracking job for 2 years while we bring youngsters threw or replace them with other talent.
