When Joe was mascot, Cotts was nowhere near the dressing room, he wanted nothing to do with it pre-match! After the match, Walsall in particular he was great with us. I won’t get the figures exactly right but it was in the region of: Gray - £4m / £14k p.w Maguire - £2.5m / £10k p.w (he’d not set the world alight in his first season at Hull) Pelling came along, tried to undercut the deals: Brentford said piss off, we will tout him around, Burnley came in and offered £6m and £18k wages. Hull said if you want to play silly beggars the price is now £4m. Someone on here might correct those figs but it was those ball-parks from memory. The Gayle stuff later in the window is irrelevant to this, as was the subsequent offer for Gray after the season started.

As my uncle used to say - “if the horse had stopped for a shit it wouldn’t have win the race”! ?

Little punched him allegedly! Allegedly everything was agreed with Maguire and Gray, Cotts went off on hols, to find Pelling had tried to re-negotiate the deals for less (not forgetting Burt was the DoF). I believe it to be true. We need a “Cider with Cotts” one day.

I’m sure someone will correct me with the facts if I’m wrong, but… KD / JL in place KD appoints Cotts (Keith Burt already in place from SOD days) KD’s health suffering, so.. KB promoted to DoF (playing budget and recruitment under his control) MA in unofficially Cotts sacked MA gets rid of KB (gradually removes scouting network too KD steps away (end of 18/19 season - our best finish) JL left alone with MA The Shitas touch begins!

Him and Burt had a good eye for players, adding to the promotion crew: Gray and Maguire ? Fredericks Liam Moore Baker Callum Robinson

Better hope Reg Dwight sells out then ?

Good work all season on this @BCFCGav. Hopefully it will be quieter next season.

It’s a good point. My feeling is that it’s so, so quiet on the comms side whoever it’s to come from. Huboo, one day of hullabaloo! Season Tickets, nothing inventive, all comms died down after a day or two.

When did Ian Dury add parts 4 and 5?

Is he still trotting out that? Scenario 1: so Mark, are you doing something that might make you appear in a good light? Well, it’s commercially sensitive, but yes I am! Example: sell-on percentages Scenario 2: so Mark, are you doing something that might make you appear in a worse light? No! Example: loan fees

Agree. Think there might be several other clubs struggling with the 70% too. It’s not just wages, but transfers too (I assume they mean amortisation). In effect it will be “sell to buy”. I don’t think that will fuel the reversal of the transfer market depression either, which will pour cold water on any clubs proposals to claim transfer fee losses on covid either. Academy will be key.

“Your” owner / chairman is pretty vocal. ?

If you read back what Jon said, it wasn’t actually that bad, but….he was answering like a fan, when he should be answering like a Chairman. If that is what he really thinks as Chairman, then why no action?

Spot on Neil. ??????

You know it will only look believable if it’s in comic sans!

Joe is asking foie gras and caviar!!!

Imagine Man City had LJ….their chat wasn’t just LJ picking Pep’s brain mind you!! ??? (I’m being mischievous, ignore me)

I really liked McIndoe, oh for a left sided player of his ability and tenacity. Macca at LB doesn’t get the credit he deserves…because we’ve had so many good LBs over the years!
