M4 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Fantastic! Dead pleased with that. Well, to be fair, i would have been pleased with either, but there's a decent Hull contingent in my group of friends so it's great to see. They don't look an awful team to me. Will need some investment (which their chairman can provide), but if they can hang onto Fraiser Campbell and get another good striker in, they could well stay up. Look miles better than what Derby did when they went up. Really? They looked pretty fucking awful to me. They weren't even the best team on the day. Bristol City created hardly anything dangerous though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I think you're in big trouble when a 39 year old Dean Windass is your stand out player. They'll have to spend very heavily to have a hope in hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I think you're in big trouble when a 39 year old Dean Windass is your stand out player. They'll have to spend very heavily to have a hope in hell. I agree that they'll have to invest pretty heavily, but that stuff about Windass is a load of rubbish iyam. So, promotion to the Premiership is big trouble? It's pretty obvious that he's not going to be going full pelt anymore, and if he's their main man next season, in the Premiership, then aye - they'll have a job on. Yet he's still a good Championship player. Which is where they were playing this season. He's not fluked his way through, has he? Plus, Windass is not necassarily their stand out player anyway. Richard Garcia, Michael Turner, and probably Fraiser Campbell have all been more of a key player than him this season. He's not got much to his game, but he's just got a lot of quality on the ball when he's got it at his feet. As you could tell today... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robster Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 In the increasingly cynical world of football, this proves that there are still some fairytale stories to be had. Might turn out to be a Derby-esque season for them next year but who can begrudge them their summer of celebration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 i herad a rumour a while back that if hull got promoted they'd be interested in shola and this was part of the reason for sholas reluctance to go to stoke permanently.(plus due to his performances for them i think the potters went rather cool on the idea) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 To be fair, although masses more money is going into the Premiership, and the league is ever-improving, i don't think we'll see another Derby for a long while. They had a good season the year they came up, but were pretty lucky to get through. They couldn't defend for toffee all season, jammied their way through the play-off final, and then bought horrendously badly in the summer. It'd be easy to say that Hull could simply do another Derby, but i reckon Phil Brown has got more nouse about the Premiership than Billy Davies. Say what you like about big Sam, Brown will have learnt a lot from his time at Bolton. And with a chairman that will back him to the hilt, i reckon they've got a chance of forming a side that will survive in the Premiership. Not forgetting, i reckon there's been some shite in the Premiership this year that haven't gone down. Bolton and Fulham are both wank and will be down there again, and Sunderland are in dangerous territory if they continue to splash bundles on crap players.

Well you're in big trouble in that you're going to get spanked every week and go straight back down, aye. Don't know how much they've got to spend but it'll take a vast amount of money to give them a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Bit wank for Hull that their best player isn't their own player. Sure i read somewhere Man U aren't going to send him out on loan next season too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd get nothing out of that. Be stupid to keep him at Man Utd next season, given that he'll be behind Rooney, Tevez, Saha, (Ronaldo), and whatever other striker they get. He wouldn't get a game. Be much better for the lad, and for Manu if they want to keep him (i think he'll turn into a really good player tbh), for him to stay at Hull for another season.

Saha will be off this summer though and so may be Ronaldo. Think of what he can learn working with these players. A lot more than he can working with Rooney et al than Windass et al Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hull are no better than what we were 2 years ago, in fact they're slightly worse I'd say. Bottom - Derby-esque in the way they'll capitulate, however they've got a decent keeper so it'll be slightly more respectable. Nevertheless, Hull 20th, Stoke 19th.

I thought Bristol were easily the better side and were desperately unlucky to lose. Hull were a tough, physical bunch but that won't be enough for the top division.
