Good signing for Hull in the short term me thinks, but I really dion't think much of the overall Hull business model as they're really handicapped with the terms of their stadium deal etc and bringing in 'expensive' players. (We're not clean on that one either).
Hull KR on the other hand have a pretty decent deal, and in all honesty they've been building from a solid foundation starting a year or two before they came into SL.
I only see one club winning things in Hull and it's not FC.
Hull's turnover is in excess of £5m p.a. and the stadium reportedly costs us around £500k p.a. We're profitable whereas hull kr have been losing money hand over fist in recent years. We spend to the maximum cap same as most teams. The only thing holding us back is the coaching staff. A successful Hull FC would be getting average crowds in excess of 15k
