Was Sharpe not a renound coach? after paying him off the money left in the pot means an untried coach is all thats available within the budget, thats why Mcnamara's still at the Bulls.

Interestingly, it doesn't mention turnover in the article ... Leeds turned over somewhere in the region of £11m (from what I can find, Hull City only turned over £16million in the year they were promoted to the Premiership)

It is also worth considering that unlike FC, we own our ground and in the last year (when Leeds didn't make a profit) were subject to significant ground maintence costs.

I wouldn't wish that change of coach on anyone

I am afraid hull will struggle as previously posted because they ain't a big name espesially in oz. They clearly have money but waste it on has been Aussies and a old half back.
As a Leeds fan I suppose I can't really comment on has been ausies! Although we have improved in recent times

Just in the same way that the 2005 Challenge Cup was arranged over the Heatherington breakfast table as well ?

The point made by the Hull poster about the coach being the key to sucess is not something that gets much consideration. You obviously need the top players, but when most squad have the opportunity to be pretty much equal, getting the best out of them is surely worth the extra money.

See what a difference Nathan Brown made to Hudds last season
