Come on TWF you know me I never say anything about your opinions and I agree with you a bit about AP.
He said he had left us in capable hands when he sold us out to Duffman and Barty which was a bit of a lie he had made his money and took off, however that Bullard deal was a shocker and the least expensive way to get out of it the better for Hull City.
I do'nt blame AP for selling up to a couple of idiots to make money and I do'nt blame JB for signing the contract but please do'nt keep bleating on about how Bullard could have got us promotion this year if given the chance for gods sakes!

You only need to look at what he's doing at Ipswich to see what could have been here had he been treat better at the beginning of the season. As it is, all we've ended up with is a pissed off player on £45k a week.

i know you said the points were for discussion but this suggestion is lame. if our players want to play for top pl clubs they will have to get used to other players being on more. can you imagine one of our players or anyone elses joining man u and tghen taking the hump because rooney or giggs gets paid more?

If Jimmy came back from Ipswich and willingly took a pay cut, would you welcome him back into the side?

Positives

Best player in the league
Capable of winning a match on his own
He seems from his on the pitch actions to be good for team morale.
On the pitch a good role model (maybe not off it if rumours are believed)
He has the creative spark we need


Negatives

May upset players upon his return cue to jealousy of previous wages and how he nearly bankrupt us
Lives in the physio room
Tends to have a bit of rep around town of being a lad
Is it a step into the past?
It has been suggested he just didnt want to be here which is why he is now on fire at the tractor boys


Disclaimer: These are not all my opinions just starting points for debate.


However my opinion is if he say; played for what we are payinig him now 20kish (?) then i would keep him, look at the lift his arrival has given Ipswich the exact same lift he was giving us last year. Also to be honest i dont believe all the drug rubbish etc and everyone is allowed a drink aslong as its not the night before.

He's injured at Ipswich and could be out for weeks, you have to admit that was a shocking deal for us and he can't really help the team much

Poor deal financially yes, but sometimes you have to make the most of a bad deal, and I don't think paying him to play for Ipswich is.

Ipswich gave us a third of a million quid to have him not play very much for them the rest of this season, well actually covered that in his contract and saved us the money. Thats making the most out of a bad deal in my opinion

I actually agree with this post by TWF, we didnt man manage the man properly to get the best out of him after his injury. it was easier to blame him for previous managments inexperienced decisions.

A short sighted view, Bullard makes a difference on the pitch, he has to Ipswich and he has to us in the past. Now it's not a given, but he could have got us a few extra points in the past few weeks and at the beginning of the season. If a few extra points meant us getting a play-off place would that £320,000 seem like a big deal then?

I just think at the end of the season when we miss out on the play-offs by a few points we'll look back at our decision to not play him and regret it, obviously we'll never know for sure.

You have done your maths and errrrrr have an interesting scenario.
 
Well at least I proved something to some of you lot,TWF is actually a good city fan and not just trying to wind people up.
You can talk to him in a reasonable manner and get some sense out of him and his reasons even if like me you think he is way off the mark with his ideas he's not wrong about every thing.
Thus endeth todays lesson :angel:
