Quote ="Willa"If Hull had to pay Obst off they would do it now. What would Hull gain in waiting to pay him off? Are they complete idiots??
Obviously it will be cheaper for hull if Obst finds a new club, he would already be gone and we would have our signing we are waiting for otherwise

According to some on here, by waiting to pay him off, Hull can stop themselves getting a reputation for mistreating players, which would supposedly have the knock-on effect of damaging our prospects of making good signings in the future. I don't buy it myself though.
Your second paragraph makes no sense at all, if you'd read my post properly you'd realise that I was responding to people saying that if Obst goes elsewhere we wouldn't have to pay him [uanything[/u, I didn't mention anything about 'cheaper'.
The bottom line is that whether we are trying to force him out the door or not, we need rid of Obst for the cap space far more than he needs to leave. As Hutchie points out, if he does find another club then the very least he'd want would be for us to make up the difference in wages, but, if he can live with the possibility of ending up sitting the season out, he's got us over a barrel for far more than that.
Good work on trying to create an argument that never existed though
