That would be interesting because while he's not the player he was he is a big name and started the last two internationals. It would also be a further sign there is investment as while it seems Wests are willing to fund some of the salary to get rid, he isn't a cheap signing

Just what we need, an England international centre!

No way could we fit Bateman under the cap unless west's are picking up a big chunk of his salary. I'd rather have Byrne. As bad as our 2nd row options are, our props are worse. One injury and we're in to the likes of fash

Please know the Club is valued at £1M not 2m
I’ve said all along this isn’t Adam’s money being spent
It’s the new buyer and the new buyer owns more than 50% !!

I’m just looking forward to the bloody announcement so we can all get clarity.

Thirkill is the guy and the saviour.

It’s his money that’s brought in Richie M and JC and Andy Last and the physio and McDonalds sausage egg McMuffins for the brekkie

West would he paying a massive chuck if salary.

If he signs, I could see Staveley playing prop, that's where I expect him to play most of his career. Cartwright could play there too.

Also think Fash, deserves another chance, as poor as he was last year, previously he has been a decent player.

Announcement incoming

Within the hour is the talk..... watch 1pm sail by

Christmas Jumpers must be in

Padded heated seats and free snacks is what I’m hearing.

And Mitchell Moses.

https://www.hullfc.com/blog/2024/11/13/ ... JjFu7DRHtw Wow, Great news

Andrew Thirkill and Somebody* Hood taking 100% ownership.
I'd post a link to the statement but the Hull site seems to be dying.

*can't recall his first name and I can't check due to aforementioned collapse of the Hull site

David Hood OBE.

Some cash behind them, on paper really positive news

Just read the article that David Hood’s company do private chartering with flights. That’s the Catalan transport sorted for the team then, no more RyanAir.

WOW we've all waited a long time for that and credit Adam on paper he has moved us onto a new era in 'rich' hands at least. There's certainly some money behind us now and Thirkell at the forum tonight too!

500m joint wealth. 40m for a stadium which can be offset with commercial partners. Millionaires don't just buy rugby league clubs they have to affinity to, there has to be something in it for them

What absolutely amazing news! Mainly due to getting ridding of Pearson but also because finally the club will be owned by a rugby league man. The futures bright..... The futures black n white!

Sports Village incoming!

Wow , Hopefully these two will breath life back into the club , Amazing news .

Happy days, hopefully can start building the club back up slowly.

Don't get my hopes up.

Great news!!! Surely have to be one of top 2 or 3 richest clubs in SL if that net worth is true??
