Could they be one of the few to come straight back up after relegation? Not many do it at the first attempt. Is there a secret recipe or is it simply a case of trying to hold onto most of your players? The prem is awash with foreign managers. Yet a lot of clubs that get promoted have british managers (who quite often get the boot after reaching the top level for some twat called el gringo). So should these managers be given more time? Finally my main point but didnt want to dive straight in. Do you want to see Hull back in the prem (regardless if we are in it or not)?
If we are in the PL I don;t want them up there - can;t stand Bruce whinging on in his "it's cos I'm a geordie y'knaa" way - if we go down then I hope they come up - for the same reason!!
I like to see new teams coming up, so no from me, Brighton, Sheff Wed and Derby would probably be my preference at this moment in time. There was a lad on here I seem to recall who had a bet with his brother or mate, that Hull would finish lower than Sunderland in their respective leagues... I wonder if he took the bet? Now I know there's a long way to go and Sunderland could surge up the table yet, but I reckon there's a good chance he'll lose that one.
They'll probably bottle it towards the end but just scrape through with automatic promotion. As for whether I would like to be in the same league, not really. We always lose to them, don't like Bruce, some of their fans are complete arseholes (proportionally more than other teams) and as I had to work in Hull I've built up a healthy dislike of the place itself.
Not boshed either way really. There was a few of their daftarses came on here giving it what for. Must admit to a modicum of satisfaction when they dropped like.
That would be me - I was asked if I wanted to take the bet and in my pre-season optimism and general view of Bruce, thought it might be a good idea. However, I sought the views of people on here first who pist on my toast. I took the advice and didn't take the bet. Thanks everyone. How could I have been so deluded?
Well, as everyone knows I was born in Hull but finished up working in Sunderland which I much preferred (especially the beer - I drank Nimmo's then which, I believe was the only private brewery left - beautiful beer) anyway, I digress, Hull came out of the Premiership due to the fact that up front they had what could be only described as "not strikers @rseholes" - I came in for much vitriol from the "not606" fans who tried and tried to make excuses for the likes of Sagbo, Graham (sorry), Aluko, Hernandez who had followed the likes of Proschwitz, Altidore and Cousin. Goals win games not f@rt@sing around. The "off-loading" started immediately with Jelavic, Chester, N'Doye, Brady and others all going. Nobody wanted Hernandez (except for peanuts and Hull paid 10 million quid for him) who immediately started to find the net back in the Championship (isn't a 'strikers @rsehole at Premier League level like Altidore - a noodle short of a stir-fry being just short on pace, height and ability) BUT when the transfer window comes around there will be offers and IF they are over 6 million they will take it! They have a new bloke starting shortly called Diamonde (pronounced DewMond) and there will be much expected of him - maybe too much. Will they try to keep Hernandez to get back to the EPL? Will they get rid and ease the wages problem? Only one point separates the top 6 and to be honest I think Hull will get rid of Hernandez (whilst they can), will finish in the play-offs but will lose out to Middlesbrough - Burnley and Brighton to go up automatically.
