    HDM reported that he's only had a couple of appearances since signing.

    No, I don't as a football getting injured or not making the grade is a potentially risk. Me "tripping over a scarf" or getting run over a bus are very very unlikely and the first one isn't going to end my career. Tymon has risks that are far more likely and he needs to manage them.

    Egocentric? Personally don't think I am, I don't show off, I drive a Renault Clio (I hate cars), live in a house where I have paid off my mortgage because I don't need a huge house.

    Is money important to me? Massively, it allows me to have experiences like going to the Rugby World cup in Japan next year, travel to Australia for the ashes, go on golf trips to Portugal a few times a year. I can't do that without money. So yes money is important and personally I don't see an issue with that. Does that make someone egocentric? Not to me.

    However, thank you for insulting me, I appreciate you have no facts to prove someone wrong so you attempt to insult someone. That speaks volumes.

    I agree with the happiness factor but not the loyalty one. It is one of the key things we have tried to focus our business on we might be quite "Americanised" but we put happiness at the forefront of what we do.

    I moved to Manchester for money, and I can confirm my other half and I are far happier here than we where in Hull. I admit that is nothing to do with Hull but the friends I have made through my cricket club, the football team I play for, the places we eat and drink, the house we live in, where we live etc.... However, money has allowed us not to worry about what we do when we do it and have experiences we wouldn't be able to without money.

    Personally I don't put loyalty in this equation nothing in my work career has ever involved loyalty, Happiness and money are far more important.

    Also let's move on from Tymon.... I am sure he has!

    Did you do A levels? As you seem to not grasp the point.
    Or did you get s job and start grafting straight away.
    The more you write the less I like you.

    The Hull trait of not liking people who get on.

    I don't get the point I am missing? You think Tymon should have taken a risk and stayed at City and being loyal to a club that developed him as that was the right thing to do. You don't think him getting injured or not making the grade should be taken into account as there are risks in everything you do in life, including "tripping over a scarf".

    I personally think every footballer should consider the chance he gets a career ending injury, I believe they should consider the fact they may not make the grade. I believe considering this Tymon should take the option that still presents the chance of becoming a professional footballer but guarantees he will earn millions over a 5 year period. I don't think loyalty should play a part, I think he should be loyal his family before a football club.

    I have no issue with you not liking me, you can dislike me as much as you like.

    Firstly, how is it a Hull trait?

    Secondly, do you like everyone who 'got on' then?

    No problem in moving on.

    I think, in terms of football, loyalty is perhaps becoming an old-fashioned virtue and perhaps, my generation and those before, are still clinging to its coat-tails particularly with regard to Tymon - a Hull born player - who maybe you'd expect more from.

    There’s no loyalty in football anymore. That’s long gone.

    A lot of Hull folk tend to consider anyone who has got on to be dishonest or ****s or lucky Nothing to do with application or hard work.
    If people get on I don't feel jealousy or dislike. Because I didn't have that drive being a bit of a lazy sod doesn't mean I decry those who have.

    Another usual post from you. Base on your prejudices
    You don't consider how someone gets on then or their attitude towards money and what theyll Do to get it.
    This young man displays some very worrying traits.

    So, it's not a human trait then, just one that's specific to 'a lot of Hull folk'?

    Also, if I perused your previous posts, I'd find nothing condemning people who have 'got on' then?

    When talking about loyalty to your home town club, should a young Harry Maguire (just 21) have stayed with Sheffield United when they gave him a contract offer instead of signing for a Premier League Hull City?

    Different way of looking at it. Similar idea - first choice for his team, wasn’t going to break in against better players at the new club, already had a contract offer on the table to stay, made just six appearances in his first year then loaned out in January, etc.

    Sheff Utd agreed to sell Harry.

    Tymon just walked away.

    There's a difference.

    Talking about the player showing loyalty to his club - not the club’s intentions.

    I know.

    Sheff Utd agreed to sell Harry. They were always going to sell him, therefore, it was fine for him to go.

    Something definitely happened to you in Hull.

    I'm sorry for whatever that was, as it clearly affected you for the rest of your life.

    But please try to understand, that whatever it was, could have happened anywhere.

    They offered him improved terms when our interest came in. He turned them down and they accepted our bid, probably reluctantly.
