Top cop Posted 9 June 2012 Posted 9 June 2012 That's just so funny. If I was a Dull fan I think I would consider suicide at this point.
Fox92 Posted 9 June 2012 Posted 9 June 2012 Unfortunately for you and Nigel Pearson we have the players you can only dream of! ARF! lol
muzzy1981 Posted 9 June 2012 Posted 9 June 2012 Bruce is a great signing for Hull. Quite frustrating that he inherits several of Pearsons quality ex-man u signings, also Bruces core strategy when signing players. Unlikely we will get any Hull targets now. Just hope Walsh and Nige have got a couple more gems up their sleeve!
ithuriel Posted 9 June 2012 Posted 9 June 2012 Bruce will either stick with what he has and try to go with loans, freebies and one or two buys or will sell to build his own team. I guess it all depends on whether he rates the players he has or has others in mind. I'm assuming of course he does not have a huge wad of cash to spend.
HEGGSY Posted 9 June 2012 Posted 9 June 2012 Unfortunately for you and Nigel Pearson we have the players you can only dream of! ARF! Since when did these play for you?
flowwolf Posted 9 June 2012 Posted 9 June 2012 Unfortunately for you and Nigel Pearson we have the players you can only dream of! ARF! Oy stropalot go on the sunderland fans site and ask them what they thought of Bruce as a manager. Be scared be VERY scared. :thumbup: :thumbup:
Danno Posted 9 June 2012 Posted 9 June 2012 Oh I do love it when our fans ridicule other teams only for us to fvck it up again and again, no wonder no one likes us..

No one is supposed to like us, they are not Leicester City fan sites If we were liked we would be a small plucky club and peeps felt constantly sorry for but would be annoyed to lose against, a bit like Hull
JohnnyB Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 It looks as though this deal and any deal for any of the Hull players we've been linked with could well be dead in the water.

Uncle Phil Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 At the end of the day, if we the offer money that the board is after then they'll sell. Football club owners just love money.

This could be just me reading too much into things, but to me that 1st line reads like the best players want to move on, and Bruce is hoping to convince them otherwise.
Mark_w Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 This could be just me reading too much into things, but to me that 1st line reads like the best players want to move on, and Bruce is hoping to convince them otherwise. Lets hope so.
StrovolosTiger Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 This could be just me reading too much into things, but to me that 1st line reads like the best players want to move on, and Bruce is hoping to convince them otherwise. The truth of the situation is that the players ALL liked Nick Barmby as he was one of them, a player, and highly respected. The manner of his departure was surprising and unsettling to them which was one of the reasons the owners went for such a respected manager as Steve Bruce, also his connections with United were thought to calm the United youngsters. The players are all off on holiday still and won't even meet him until July 2nd. He will then assess them in training and we go from there. You can read anything you like into Steve Bruce's words, but part of the reason he came to Hull City AFC is our crop of young players. That added to a generous transfer budget, and our owners dislike of Nigel Pearson really indicates that business between Leicester City and Hull City just isn't going to happen.

Though I think you've posted a lot of silly nonsense over this and other threads, I do think you're probably right on this. If Dull don't need to sell their prized assets I don't know why Bruce would even consider doing so.
Callabinho Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 I was under the impression Barmby was sacked after a dispute regarding finances, why would the owners views on that subject change just because the manager has changed? They have got Bruce in because he has got teams out of this devision using limited budgets and what not before, if they want to cut the wage bill they will do...

If Dull don't need to sell their prized assets I don't know why Bruce would even consider doing so. Don't know what silly nonsense you are talking about. I have consistently said since Nigel Pearson left that the owners will not do business with him. I have said we have no financial problems. I have said our players have no desire to leave. If you think that nonsense then so be it, then so be it, but that won't stop it being true.

They have got Bruce in because he has got teams out of this devision using limited budgets and what not before, if they want to cut the wage bill they will do... Sorry to disagree again, but Steve Bruce far, far away from having a reputation of working with limited budgets, quite the opposite. Nobody will ever find out the truth about Nick Barmby. The vast majority of fans were very disappointed by his sacking and the manner in which it was done. The owners claim that he was given the go-ahead to sign Billy Sharp and a Premier League striker (similar to Roberts) in January and he chose not to. They said that his comments in the press at the end of the season ruined their relationship with him and that was why he was sacked. The wage bill, as it stands, is where they desire it to be and Steve Bruce will be given substantial funds to improve the squad this Summer.
StrovolosTiger Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 Or they wanted an excuse to get rid of Barmby and appoint Bruce. No, there was no pre-planning of Nick Barmby's removal.
Mark_w Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 Nobody will ever find out the truth about Nick Barmby. No, there was no pre-planning of Nick Barmby's removal. Oh, looks like you already have.
Simo86 Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 Unless you are "in the know" how do you know all of this? Do you know that none of your players want to leave or do you just assume this? Do you know Bruce has x amount to spend or are you assuming this as well? Or like many are you just believing what your local paper is telling you?
NewburyFox Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 At least Bruce won't be a **** about the whole thing like Adam Pearson was. Some of the comments he made about us were just embarrassing to read.
StrovolosTiger Posted 12 June 2012 Posted 12 June 2012 Oh, looks like you already have. I meant the truth as to the details. There was no pre-planning, otherwise how come the appointment took 6 weeks, and why would they interview a host of other managers?

Doesn't mean they didn't have him lined up, the Hull fans weren't exactly happy about Barmby's sacking, if they'd instantly appointed someone that would have only made things worse for them.
