The investment must surely already by in situ or commit.
AP went from backing Tony Smith to sacking him and offering good money for his replacement. A total about turn during the same period Myler arrived at the club. It's irrefutable that appointment was a premise to impending injection of funds.
The only way Hull can offer a return on investment is healthy/big crowd attendance. The only way that can and will happen is quality on the pitch, results and a match day that entertains. That's the reassuring bit, for me.
I think signings like Asiata, Stewart, Rimbu and even Abdul show we'll be going differently, but there still needs to be a couple of strike-player signings to make the new squad a genuine contender for the last/lower play-off spots. We don't have anywhere near enough try-scoring potential across wing/centre as it stands.
