    Aye, that is certainly a factor, but, for many, money is not the be all and end all. I think your point is extremely valid, but I also think there is a very unpleasant malaise that infects our club that makes poaching staff easier and cheaper than might be imagined.

    I mean the one that finished a poor fourth with the most expensively assembled team in the division - the main reason we got promoted is Junior kept getting injured

    At what point is Phelan likely to say (something like) "**** this for a game of draughts; I'm off / walking away too"?
    In some ways I wish it would happen, just to leave Ehab in total ****.
    Could it yet happen?

    ... or as someone else posted today on Twitter, for the players to down tools and demand a show down with Ehab.

    Surely Phelan, the players and remaining staff must be pretty close to the point of revolt? Please do it!!

    The fact that anyone is looking to Hull City for fitness/physio staff is alughable. They're absolutely ****ing useless.

    This is definitely it. It's obviously a really **** job to have, but the fact is it's a Premier League manager's job, and Phelan was desperate to have a go at management. That was the reason he left Norwich remember.

    I'm sure it's the only reason he's still here. Just by being a manager once he'll get loads more offers in future, even though we're unlikely to do anything other than seriously struggle.

    It looks like Commercial Manager Simon King has also left the club (to go to went Brom).

    He was the last of the management team that remained from the Allams time in charge, every single one of them has now left, or is leaving.

    Si's a decent bloke as well.

    it might actually be a move to try and get us away from being a yo-yo club like what we were under Bruce and try to get us more stable.

    no, you?
    im offering a different point of view.
    The way I see it. IF AA wants to sell this club, it would make little sense for them to run it into the ground like everyone on here is claiming.

    You're right, we won't yo-yo anymore under the Allam's, we'll only yo, on the way down through the leagues

    its also equally possible that we survive.
    no one knows.

    Anything's possible, but it's highly improbable that we'll continue with any success similar to that which we've achieved over the last decade with the boy blunder at the helm, and anyone that thinks anything to the contrary is quite clearly a poor quality wum.

    you mean that you will perceive them as a wum?
    it must be very sad, being so cynical.
    try being optimistic for a change.
    on the plus side, optimists live longer.
