Blokes only just announced that he would consider super league clubs. The only links right now are fans. The links with FC and Rovers are purely down to personal he knows and clubs potentially needing to fill the position.

I don’t think any credible links will come for about a fortnight. The hope is that Fc will be fighting for these sorts of signings (even if we don’t manage it).

The one thing in our favour will be cap/budget space. We should have a lot of it to play with from releasing players like Evans (already gone) Shaul, Taylor, Houghton and potentially Savelio who don’t necessarily get into our 17.

Financially we should be an attractive club for players

Financially your not attractive you are basically bankrupt I take it you haven’t seen your latest accounts?
The fans appear to be getting giddy after beating Huddersfield.
Realistically it will be difficult to attract quality players given your financial situation and league position.

Luxury penthouse apartment with inside toilet overlooking Annandale Road has sealed the deal according to HDM Rovers reporter.

Broncos were in for him but couldn't match the inside toilet.

Weve being debt for years, we was also in debt during our magic seasons of 16/17.

So your logic is not valid.

Well you're the one saying we'll beat the league leaders Keith.

You seem very keen on assessing our accounts - how do you compare the debt levels of our respective clubs?

Possibly naive, but would a brief summary be that Rovers owe a metric pooptonne of doubloons in Director loans and maybe have a mortgage on Craven Park, while Hull owe the government a squazillion silver guineas?

Last time Hull went pop, they moved into a brand new state of the art facility 3 or 4 years later and won the cup a couple of years after that. Death isn’t always fatal for sports clubs. It’s rarely quite that immediately beneficial, admittedly.

I still reckon it’s Neil, not Keith.
Folk should just ignore him. His obsession with FC is unhealthy.

In the last set of filed accounts the purchase hadn't gone through, so not a mortgage I think. £8m would seem a lot to owe Hudgell.
