That's football in the modern age. The one club man is a thing of the past, with a couple of exceptions eg. Gerrard, Scholes, and a small number of others, but even those two were years ago.

That’s bollocks. Meyler said Livermore downed tools and forced a move to West Brom in January when we were still in the Prem. Slutsky said Clucas did the same.

I don’t have an issue with that but Livermore can get to ****. I’d rather chew glass than see him play for us ever again.
Disappointing to read that about Livermore. Especially after how the club stuck by him through his personal issues.
I think it's tacky and classless to automatically assume anyone who leaves us has done something wrong, particularly when it relates to a player being injured as in Odubajo's case, as if suffering a horrible injury is more of a hardship to the club than it is to the player.
The fact that the Allams notoriously offered low wages, short contracts and left everything to the last minute, only makes it more understandable that players would choose to go somewhere else instead.
Thankfully this will be less of a talking point now that they're gone and we operate like a normal club again.
When I first started to going to City, every player who left, unless they reached some sort of legend status, would get the “City Reject” treatment, upon return, at least.
In the dark days of the 4th Division, as those who went will remember, for example, those players who left for Darlo cos they weren’t getting paid, were utterly vilified by the fanbase (not saying that was right either).
The good fanbases have a 'don't **** with us' attitude and that reflects well on a club.

We got £10m for Livermore and £16m for Clucas, it was far more than either of them were worth.
£16m for clucas is arguably out best outgoing transfer in terms of value, probably only windass comes close with what it saved us from
Not sure why people get upset about this body and that body leaving and under what circumstances. To them it is a job. For us the club/team is the love of our lives. Even when they are ****.

I agree, I just wouldn’t have either of them back at City.
Agreed. If I had eleven Players like Clucas that I could have got £16 mill each for I would have sold the whole team.
And rightly so he should
He’s a ****
I can't myself but saw it on Twitter and thought it might start a conversation whilst waiting.
I suppose this is as good a place as any to put this...
Adam Pearson was certainly our Knight in shining armour and he worked wonders for our club.
But our resurgence actually began before Adam took over. I remember it well.
Lloyd threatened to close us down. There was a photo of a lock on the gates at Boothferry Park, on the front page of the Hull Daily Mail.
That was when the crowds returned. It really was as if Hull City fans saw this and said 'You're going to close our club? Oh no you're ****ing well not'!
I dont have the memory to be accurate about this, but the crowd suddenly swelled from around 3,000 to 9,000 overnight.
I think this is when Adam saw the potential and made us a viable club again.
This doesn't take anything away from what AP, did for us. I just mean the people of Hull more than played their part.
