I heard that Hull may have a bit of money coming their way.

Pointless fact, if Hull come up, we'll be part of the 10 most Southern teams of the Premier League.Comment

Adebola is ****.Originally posted by ShaggyAlonso View PostYeah I have. They’re not equipped for the Prem.
Much like Derby who came up through the play-offs last season.
Out of their current squad, who would you describe as a Premiership player? Are the Premier League vultures circling the likes of Bradley Orr and Dele Adebola?!?
How much money will they have to spend? Not a lot, I’d venture. Stoke are ****e too. West Brom are different – they are more geared towards being a top-flight outfit and have good international players.
Hull or Bristol City and Stoke will go straight back down. I’ll bet anyone any money – even before we’ve seen their signings.
Orr was in the Championship team of the year.
We'll get £30m to spend....
Granted we'll probably go straight down (I am a realist) but we'd not do a ****ing Derby!

Is Hull really further south than Liverpool? Or Manchester come to that..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.Comment

A lot of rumours flying around at the mo re possible investors and/or take overs.Originally posted by Reece View PostI heard that Hull may have a bit of money coming their way.
Vast following, big crowds every game and for once IMO a decent manager in Brown, I agree the squad does not contain a lot of Premiership quality players and will need an overhaul, but they arent exactly strapped for cash anyway.
The days of bordering on administration and being heavily in debt have long gone, it could be a shrewd move for somebody wishin to pump in some cash"Through me the way into the suffering city,
Through me the way to the eternal pain,
Through me the way that runs among the lost.

And I endure eternally.

£30m though
p.s. Least i'm not a Manc 
The Prem is so strong now, I just don't see where either of the City's are gonna pick up points. I don't necessarily think Hull or Bristol will lose 6-0 every week but I don't see them picking up many points. At all.
£30m isn't enough either. Sad though it is. Sunderland spent about £45m (and they came up as convincing champions) and just about stayed up.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

Huh? Surely he means Hull's promotion would push Liverpool into the 10 southernmost teams - i.e. Hull is further north than Liverpool. Which it is - by miles.Originally posted by Neil Young View Post

P.S. Would it not make sense to merge this thread with the other Play off thread?
MODS?

It depends on who you buy. Roy Keane bought a load of **** and thats why it totalled up to £45m.Originally posted by ShaggyAlonso View PostA HELL of a lot of 'no's there!

Humble pie well and truly eaten. I cannot believe how well they've started!
I still expect their bubble to burst but regardless they have already done far better than I anticipated.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

They'll stay up.. Just.
They cant not, some of the teams that have played them seem to have written them off before they get on the pitch.
A bad mistake, they are a very physical side that play unattractive football but more often than not, never give in"Through me the way into the suffering city,

The magical 40 points mark doesn't seem that far off now for Brown.Comment

To be honest Ben I think they can achieve that total IF they keep up the head of steam they have in the dressing room
Windass drinks in one of my local pubs (The Odd Bottle) and occasionally visits the club I generally drink in at weekends, and even he has been on water when he comes in (which is a surprise as he can drink most people under the table the pie hoovering fat ****er)
Word is: He says that the buzz in the dressing room is like nothing he has ever felt before, he genuinely believes they have the mettle to finish around half way and says that Brown is capable of whipping them up into a frenzy if their heads ever go down."Through me the way into the suffering city,
