Quote UllFC="UllFC"Honestly not trolling! but are the finances ok? just seems a bit suspicious to cancel your overseas trip, and also have a mass exodus of players. Both Hull clubs have been in that place before where you're told everything is fine but the clubs actions suggest otherwise.'"
I don't think it's finances, The overseas trip was a natural reaction to idea the team was 'too soft', it was one Radford did last year, whether its the right call or not I don't know.
There has obviously been a real drive by CC to change the culture of the club and maybe that has made the oldr heads think twice about whether they want to dig deep enough at there age. Costigan struggled preseason last year so maybe he's just thought I've had enough.
I wonder how much Stan going has affected Costigans decision. I can imagine he played a big part in getting him here.
All this has been coupled with the likes of having to lose the likes of Langley, Poore, D.Hodgeson and to a lesser extent Netherton who where all injured or had to retire.
Looking at ins and outs on a player for player basis they look like they will demand a similar salary, I suppose time will tell if we get like for likes in for the remaining spaces.
Whilst typing all that it does make me notice how poor a state we'd got into under CS, if you list the outs from this year there are probably only a couple who'd we would have really wanted to stay.
