DOR is currently employed elsewhere...

'if Simon Grix wins the next 3 games he's in the frame'

If Grix wins the next 3 games he should get an open top bus parade

Three parties interested but none of them are from Hull.

Definite no on Malcolm Walker.

Not liking this investment will take until the end of the season talk...means we will be buying season tickets while this is ongoing

Damp squib. Jam tomorrow again.

He’s full of crap. I don’t believe a word he says.

Everything crystal now then.

Seems we are spending full cap, most irate he has got in this interview is defending that point

The funniest part is we “are” spending 2.35 million on the squad. Well if we are then that in itself is an absolute travesty.

He seemed to say both 20% and 25% of 'key players' on the cap not playing when asked about Carlos and Trueman, so that's £500k between the two of them, and maybe £250k for Carlos to be limping about!

Well lets hope the new DOR is more financially astute with salary negotiations.

I guess that Hoy was vastly overpaid for one.

Carlos is allegedly on a very decent wage, 140k+ which on a four year deal for someone who was already starting to pick up injuries is crazy. Hopefully the DOR can get on top of things.

I cannot see how anybody with no connection with Hull is going to invest significant funds in to the club with the prospect of little or no return. Disappointed.

james webster the journeyman as DOR

I mean id question any fans sanity if they think this is a quick fix.

The only thing that can be hoped for is "jam tomorrow" I think alot of people got excited in the past 24 hours and was expecting a billionaire to come through the door....

Things take time but a director who will take care of Rugby related stuff is only a good sign because since we lost Motu we jave got worse and worse.

He also said 20/25% of our cap sat on the sidelines in Carlos and Truey so at “2.35 million”, that’s £470,000k on just them two players. I think someone is telling porkies somewhere.

But can we trust Pearson to make the right appointments?

So far he's hired McRae, Gentle, Motu, Radford, Hodgson, Smith. Personally I'd only say Motu an outright success in his role, Radford of course won 2 cups but there were average to poor seasons surrounding that.

Maybe we cant trust him, but even a player whose played league one all his life is better qualified then Pearson and Clarke on Rugby matters.

I don't understand how Trueman and Carlos can make up 25% of the cap.
Somebody above posted that means roughly £500k between them, so £250k each.
Marquee players only have £150k of their salary count on the cap, so only £300k of their salaries should count on the cap which isn't equivalent to 25%.
Or we idiotically haven't officially made them marquee players and are losing out on £200k worth of cap space because of that.

Or, Pearson is telling a load of bull and they're both not actually earning that much and as we all believe ourselves, we're not at, or close to, the full cap.

I think it’ll be latter. If they are on 300k between them, then 20% of 1.5 million cap spend is 300k. So he either got his percentages wrong or the salary cap spend wrong. I know what my moneys on.

It's gotta be that. They may be on 20/25% of what we are actually spending (which is still absolutely ridiculous) but there is surely no chance at all they both make up 20% of the 2.1m salary cap.
I didnt listen to the interview but surely the interviewer called him out on that and asked for further explanation?

Not able to quote reply people at the moment for some reason.

Misinterpreted the 20% i believe. No way Trueman and Tuimavave are on 400k+ between them. I believe he meant, we are missing 20-25% of cap each week. 40% missing for saints game

Don’t spoil it

so quick conclusion from the interview

- there is 2 or 3 'potential' investors then in the same 10 minutes said these investors were ready to put money in (make of that what you will)

- working with a corporate brokerage in Leeds to sell his equity within the club to gain capitol

- new DOR (director of rugby within the next week announced Tuesday)

- NRL signings are put on hold until they find the right man, looking for an NRL 7 for next year (Adam said it was near impossible to find nrl pedigree at this stage)

- within the year they are hoping to be among the top 5 clubs in spend

- they want to get back to the dizzy heights of 3 marquees ^ within the next year

- costello new build stadium is not a viable option *pipe dream*

- lease w/ council and mkm stadium will be renewed for at least 4 years

- nu brown left PREDOMINANTLY on compassionate grounds, was his girlfriend who persuaded him to go back

- tex hoy wasnt part of tonys plans and had ample 'chances' to regain his place

- tony was upset when he was told he was leaving

- simon grix will be in the mix if he wins the next 3 on the bounce

- the changing room spirit is high .... reminded the fans it only 7 games in

- Adam got flustered when asked about the cap and said he doesn't know why people are so bothered about the input (spend) instead of the output (players)

- Hull FC are @ cap which is £2.35m (he offered any challenger to go to his office in person to see the paperwork themselves)

- Jake trueman and Carlos T are taking 20% of the cap space

- investment side, nobody from hull has come forward and hes tried his hand with the loyal sponsors but there isn't enough rich men within the city who want to invest

- mally walker, nick barmby, scott taylor = adam laughed and said no chance

- something he will regret saying = a direct quote 'i wouldnt want nick to part with his hard earned money alongside with mine in the current state' essentially saying i dont want my mates to lose money just some clown investor instead

- no signings will be ready before leeds

- 3 coaches in the running already
