Yeah but if the person using it is trying to gain clarity on something they’re not that clued-up on, it’s pretty useless. All it does is glean information from low-brow sources anyway. I’ve tested it with a topic I already know a lot about and the stuff it churns out is lacking.

I can’t believe some uni students are using it to write essays. It’s not a good substitute for reading and citing sources yourself.

It's a very powerful tool, good for certain tasks, but it isn't an oracle, and people use it like it is.

I agree and to be fair to it, it’s still in its infancy. It will definitely become more advanced with time. Right now, it’s nowhere near sophisticated enough to write undergraduate essays to a good level, especially for niche topics.

The injection of £14.5 million seems like Acun improving City’s liquidity. The reason why wages were paid later than usual in April, why we’ve been late paying other clubs for players and their wages and why we’ve been late paying certain businesses is because there isn’t a crumb in the Hull City Tigers account. All expenses are paid from offshore accounts on a monthly basis.

Having £14.5 million in the club’s coffers is a good thing and improves our liquidity so that the late payments don’t happen again.

Yep, clearly see the value in ensuring we don't trigger a third window penalty so just chucking cash in to cover all wages/obligations.

Not sure what further information I could have added? I did challenge the offsetting loss vs financial injection it sort of conceded, but like trying to debate on here, couldn’t actually fully admit it was in the wrong!
Didn’t think I should continue to challenge, it’ll be offering me out in Queen’s car park

yeah you’d never use it for something in its entirety but that isn’t its strength, using it to emulate writing is appalling, I see it more as a plug in for your brain which can solve or answer complex problems a lot faster then I can.

According to Capology, we have a wage budget of £13m.

Top of that list is John Lundstram, who is on £45,000 a week (verified as well). Hopefully we’re not paying all of that.

Hadziahmetovic is also on £35,000 a week (verified) - can see why Besiktas were keen to offload him at that price. Again, hopefully we are not paying all of that.

Giles listed as £35k (unverified), not sure if that’s correct but **** a brick if it is, that’s a lot for a left back.

Compare that to Gelhardt’s £15k a week (verified) and it’s easy to see where we get more value for money.

Gelhardt is definitely on more than that
He’s on PL money FACT

But why would he do it by a share purchase. Surely if he wants to put cash in he just does it by a directors loan, its much easier to take back out that way

So the four mentioned take up £7m of the £13m. Which means the other 23 players are on £6m, so average of £5k per week. That seems very imbalanced?

I don’t understand it either, I think it must be an external investor

Hull City have sold a share for a substantial £14.5m fee, as Kieran Maguire gives insight into the possibilities over why it has been done.

It has been a turbulent summer for Hull City, who were handed a transfer fee restriction this summer after failing to meet payments to other clubs on time.

It does make me laugh praising Dublin he’s been given more money so can buy better
Ye frees but Mcburnie etc aren’t coming in for five grand a week.
I’ve no idea about this share thing
I just think our owner is a gambler and keeps rolling the dice
It’s not going to end well

My bad, I hadn't scrolled all the way to the bottom. <doh>

The site hasn't got figures for several of our new signings, including Destan, McBurnie and Ajayi, which will of course push our wage bill up more. So it's not necessarily that the wages I quoted are wrong, it's that their website doesn't have entries for all of our players, so they just added up the data they did have and declared that as the final figure. Which seems....****. But there you go.

So if you take £20k a week to be £1m a year in salary (roughly speaking), then you'd imagine McBurnie will at least be on that, Ajayi won't be far off and a combination of Gyabi, Akintola and Destan would stick another £1m on there at least.

The biggest surprise for me was Millar being quoted as double what Belloumi is on.
