Just listening to humberside breaking news the premier league are with hold £9 million due to city at the end of theis week to pay it to other clubs that they owe money too, not good hope they can resolve it

Bloody hell this thread was started a couple of hours ago and no sign of My Uncle Harry, has his Hull City thread alarm broke!!

Not so fast, you pesky kids



Fc fans' best mate David Burns has broke this story to anyone who listens, doom and gloom prevails, much teeth gnashing and proportioning of blame. A mere hour later Russell Bartlett speaks to HDM (the Red Arrows have been informed) and says it's not true. Spotlight is now back on Mr Burns, as to whether he's talking ar$e or not. And, as most of you know, it wouldn't be the first time.

Besides which, if it [idoes[/i turn out to be true, we are nothing if not a resilient bunch, and have always been good at learning from the misfortune of others, which is why negotiations are already underway for us to merge with Newcastle and rejoin the Premier League...............

excellent idea

Newcull United

im sure it'll catch on

TBF no one would notice if Hull City where gone... the fact Shorpe see Grimsby as their main rivals speaks volumes about how little anyone cares about Hull.

ouch

I know a lot of people on here don't like city but them being in financial difficulty does us no favours

4/10. Must try harder. See me



Slightly cynical views are being aired about the role of Adam Pearson. Seeing as he now holds a non-directorial role at the club, there would be nothing to prevent him taking over should administration occur.

I was a pass holder for City for many years, not renewing a couple of seasons ago, (couldnt afford both passes!) so i do have City at heart, and this news is sad all round, im not suprised this has happened though, the PL turned out to be the poison chalice for City, im just suprised they didnt go into administration last season and took the points deduction for last season, obviously they thought they could have sorted it without, just hope they come out this sorry mess!!!

Nothing has happened .............................................. yet

Clearly Humberside have got hold of something as Burns is full of himself, it has the cooke feel to this. Its a real shame and I feel for the fans as they are the ones who will suffer long term as city cut staff to balance the books. Its no good begging the Inland Revenue for time anymore, they will actvely pursue the money on our behalf, they can not pick and choose. This threat seems to be coming from some of cities footballing creditors and they would have appealed to the football league for the money to come direct from them, a case of football looking after there own interests first.

If anything does happen it will very quickly now one way or the other as the revelations could have released forces that now can not be stopped.

Its a bloody shame and I question the wisdom of chasing a dream, that could now turn into a nightmare for years for the Tigers fans, there but for the grace of..................

in all honesty I'd believe burns over bartlett. The way bartlett has let that club get into this position is truly unbelievable.

I feel sorry for the fans as it looks like a difficult future for the tigers

Ian, stop talking guff. The problem wasn't the fact that they got promoted , but the way the club was run and money spent once they were.

I agree, they've made their bed and now they have to lie in it.

its interesting to see Blackpool have spent very little of their 90million windfall so far. And plan to upgrade their ground and training facilities instead. They are odds on to come straight back down, but will have a stronger future as a result.

City in contrast will play on Saturday with a weaker squad than when they won promotion, and massive debts.

The latest Bullard story was one of the best i've been told!

Loving it

That he really is a drag queen

Just one more game, one more............

How dissapointing it must be for some to find it was just typical humberside nonsense and rather than going into admin, the club's spending.

As for yet another Jimmy rumour, it's hard to guess which one, but from the nights out, to pay rises to payments to Fulham on appearances, I've yet to hear one that's got much real basis in truth and even fewer that relate to rugby league.

Here's one that has an element of fact to it

He is a hobbled cripple that has raped Hull City of thousands and thousands and is laughing profusely at you all.

The salary was agreed by the club, which makes it concensual not rape, the medics have mended him and he doesn't know me to laugh at so it seems you orgot to put the factual element.

Funny thing is, if there was any truth in any of this it'd drag FC with it in the Stadium costs. Why someone from Hull would take pleasure in a none connected sport being lied about in the press is an odd one. Why is it FC rather than Rovers fans that have this small minded approach?

I am not poking fun at Hull City, I know lots of genuine city fans. I am having a go at Bullard, and also the idiotic way the club has been ran. I also know a lot of Hull City fans that have been going for 3 years tops and hate "egg chasing". It is those people that I will choose to laugh at, as they have laughed at me.
I hope that Pearson sorts city out, and I think that he will personally. I don't think that Fc should have a thing to worry about as regards City and what happens to them. Oh and Rovers fans not small minded? I think you and I both know that ALL the sporting clubs in Hull have elements of small minded and fickle fans, along with a few violent scroats. That's our city.

£3.6 million in wages for what? 19 games.

One more appearance and its £3million more to Fulham........
