Not sure of the exact timing, but all three offers were made while Rule was still handling player contracts. Certainly his signing for Leeds was announced after AP took over and Rule was still here.

Not sure if this has been mentionned anywhere else but didnt the guy in charge of Youth Development leave Hull suddenly around September time not long after Pearson took over?

Regardless of who the clubs are I'd rather be associated with the clubs that voted against it.

Crazy deal and apart from a few stobart spotters no one is seeing any real benefit from it.

May have been a bit green with the contract laws but he is spot on about the RFL.

Jesus you have to win one soon! It was well passed embarrassing a long time ago.

Find one sport where the fans think the governing body are great? Every sport has a bunch of fans who think the gov body are bent and favour one team. In football it's man utd. in baseball it's the yankies! Its People who can't face up to their teams own failings and jealousy of other success.

Snooker.

He said sport.

Snooker is played in long pants and as such cannot ever be classed as a sport

Cricket, motor racing, horse racing, American football, baseball all wear long pants of some form.

Hardly a compelling argument.

If I am not mistaken Adam Pearson as been involved with kissball for a while now(with not much success) and the same contract law applies. If you offer a player under 24, a contract that is lower than the contact that he his currently on then he is entitled to move clubs when the valid contract as expired without the need for compensation being paid.

I was originally going to suggest Darts.

you are

have a look at his lack of success with hull city.

Yet still classed as sports, which isn't an argument, simply a fact.

No one is disputing the contract offer, what we are disputing is by whom and why

Kath pulled the strings of james rule who offered a lower contract to one of our brightest prospects, why would you offer less???

But then tipped Gary off who sorted a deal out whilst kath was selling up

Thats what has got our back up, the underhand way it has been done, just one of many lies the previous regime has told

Presumably, even if AP made a higher offer, the fact that a lower offer was made triggers the clause in the RFL rules?

Yes, if you remember JR made Graham Davey the scapegoat for this when it was his doing along with Kath, she really did take the pi$$ and then agar put him 18th man as his parting shot in the playoffs

So a kid you dont value and offer him less money then becomes 18th man in the biggest game of the season,w@nker

I cant wait for the 5th May.

I would love it if we beat them, love it!

A similar situation presented itself when Rovers signed Josh Hodgson. Hull originally reduced his contract offer then upped it when Rovers showed an interest. The result was that the RSG paid a transfer fee to Hull on Rovers behalf.

Are you related to Kevin Keegan in any way?

He was another one with ideas above his station.....

Just think we are going to beat you next week that's all



Then you can go on an 11 game unbeaten run against us again

Where is the proof, hang on I know the answer to that, there isn't any.

what that james rule job to sort out and offer deals at hull fc

good evening, kevin keggan

Logic says must be proof as the contract offered been less or is that just hearsay???
One way or the other some thing stinks and its all Leeds way,

If you read the Bosman trial stated if offered a contract other club still has to pay previous club compensation Eropean Law over rules RFL make it up as we go rules
