Well as we’ve all known for long enough things were in motion behind the scenes and Thirkell hotly rumoured, I don’t think anyone could have envisaged such a huge change.
Whilst a combined wealth of over £500M does not mean they have cash readily available we are certainly now moving on to some very solid foundations financially.
With the news of the takeover and the arrival of Cartwright we should finally be on the right road to getting the club back challenging in the next couple of years.
I know many are glad to see the back of AP but I do think we owe him so much, yes he made a few mistakes but I haven’t seen many owners who have single handedly run a club.
Without him I do not think it’s wrong to say we might not have been here. He’s also ensured the club looks to be in very capable hands of people who have not only money/financial clout but more importantly are fans and supported of the great game we all love.
Certainly interesting and exciting times ahead for the club and us all following Hull FC and sheer panic across the border as the rovers fans take in the news.
Think it’s also an important and great thing for the game too. Reckon there’ll be a few Loiners fans asking why he wasn’t able to invest in Leeds.
Again a great day to be a Hull fan as times ahead look very promising.
