    He certainly seems determined.

    The inset badge looks excellent to me. No need to change it. Sheer nastiness.

    Forgot about that. They should be queuing up instead of being chased away. Serious bad news that bloke.

    Didn`t he say he would walk away at some point? Best for the club if he did imo. Hate to see any club treated like that.

    The club are trying to keep him away from every camera and journalist they can and his son is now fronting the club, but he does exactly what his dad tells him to, just using more reasonable rhetoric.

    He's getting on a bit and he's not the fittest bloke in the world, so there's a chance he'll keel over shortly.

    This whole thing is down to a fall-out with the Hull City Council, it's pathetic.

    Wrong, that's their logo, it's not the badge on their kit.

    well its certainly not the norm, as a fellow football supporter it can't be nice like having a vindictive little hitler in charge of your beloved club

    actually no, not giving you that one because the actual club crest still carries the name

    I was actually quite surprised how many clubs didn't have their name on their kit(i'd never really noticed until this happened), even big clubs like Atletico Madrid.

    You have to feel sorry for them, no supporters deserve to have someone totally take over their club and insult people who have been there for years. The excitement of being in the top league & Europe is being tarnished because of one individual egomaniac.

    As this is a money wasting thread and all.

    ROSS McCORMACK appears to be engineering a move out of Leeds after skipping the team's pre-season trip to Italy with West Ham, Newcastle, Fulham and Norwich tracking the striker.

    The 27-year-old is hot property after finishing as the Championship top scorer last season with 28 goals.

    But he is keen to step up to the Premier League after proving himself in England's second tier with Cardiff and Leeds.

    Relegated Fulham and Norwich are undeterred by the Scottish striker's wish to play in the top division and have submitted £10m bids to their Championship rival.

    Both clubs believe they can lure McCormack with the prospect of a promotion bid while Leeds look to consolidate after a disappointing campaign.

    West Ham and Newcastle are monitoring the situation with Sam Allardyce and Alan Pardew both desperate to land a new striker.

    Leeds have refused to comment on speculation that their talisman asked to leave.


    and these are championship clubs! <doh>

    Both overpriced I agree.
    However, Livermore is settled here with Huddlestone so that makes sense.
    With Brady injured, we had no decent dead ball merchant, Snodgrass gives us that.

    But, I suppose you would know about value paying
    £5m Graham
    £7m Altidore
    £12m Graham

    Exactly, and it goes back further than that, Bruce's transfers and Keane's before that. One day you'll realise young child. Pots give kettles the best advice. Bruce threw about 4-5million, probably more, down the drain with Snodgrass, He was valued at 800k on the Norwich books. Bruce didn't stop to think the transfer window has just opened and plenty of time for other options, more suited and better value, to become available once players start moving. But then Bruce never thinks when it comes to the transfer market <ok>

    A player isn't a photocopier, he doesn't have an ever decreasing book value, he's worth whatever another club is willing to pay for him.

    He was bought from the Championship for £3m, he's now proved himself in the Premier League, so is worth more.

    I'd agree that £7m is steep for him, I would have expected £4-5m(mainly because he's in his last year), but an £800k book value is complete nonsense.
