Looks like you got your wish and your keeping Chase, said on the radio tonight in sports talk that a deal is now very unlikely as its just got way too complicated.


Shame really good player, would have loved to see him at the club but alas not to be.

By complicated you mean "possibly never made an official bid"?

Well not having any contact with your BOD I wouldnt know, but it was written in several newspapers just before the transfer deadline and also reported in our local rag that Hull had approached Castleford about buying Chase and that an agreement had been reached dependant on Chase getting a visa.

Surely if Hull had not spoken to Castleford at all and just spoke to the player himself then by now Castleford would have reported Hull to the RFL about an illegal approach as it was before september 1st.

This whole sorry saga has gone on long enough and I am sure everyone on both sides want it to reach an end so we can move on. Our coach said yesterday when asked that the deal is not dead yet but it would be coming to a conclusion soon so who knows what will happen.

Must be right if it was printed in the Hull Daily Mail.

Would make your BOD's statement just before the signing deadline somewhat puzzling wouldn't it?

Not to mention the amount of time and effort spent on his visa application.

Seems to be an attempted retcon going on at Cas.

Perhaps AP has been frightened off, the thought of being reported for tapping up two players in a month or so may have put him in his place?
Big time soccer Charlie!!!!

Hull FC remind me of Leeds in the Eighties. They are throwing vast amounts of money about, trying to buy good players, but are still failing to win anything. I am not sure if Gentle is the man for the job and if Pearson thinks that he can buy success, he is mistaken.

Are we?

Feel free to give actual figures.

Re: Chase to Hull : Sat Sep 15, 2012 8:10 am  

Just for the uninitiated then, assuming that the "complications" involved in the possible transfer of Chase to Hull, mean it doesn't happen, what happens to him then?

Rightly or wrongly the impression I have got from afar is that Cas have been recruiting on the basis that Chase (or at least the cost of Chase's contract) would not be at the Club in 2013.

His behaviour in all this cant have been good for club morale either I wouldn't have thought, unless that has all been reconciled.

Can you still keep him and stay financially viable or does he go elsewhere, even if not to Hull?

I think you may be jumping the gun a touch. This is the 1st ever transfer window Pearson has had to really splash the cash so obviously we have not had chance to win anything yet but if your going to compare us with Leeds in the eighties surely you have to give us 10 years to do it.
