I dont know where people are getting this from. Ellis agent has said he wont even be Hulls top paid player, infact hes expected to be on less than 90% of the first team squad.

Leeds fans are saying exactly the same as they said when the news broke that he was coming back to SL - he's a great player that would improve any SL side but it happens that backrow is not a position that we particularly need to strengthen. He also happens to be older and would almost certainly command a higher salary than any of our existing back row.



The only funny thing is the Hull fans (and trolls) are trying to make something of it.

Can someone show me where Hull fans have said they're going to win everything once GE arrives. The common thread seems to be that he is a "statement of intent" and that quite rightly fans are excited about his arrival and not "gloating" as some on here think.

I like the tone of Hull's Chairman's statement. Strong teams start at the top.

paul cullen used to say of our recruitment, loading from above.

FC fans had better hope they win something quickly - Pearson's recent history suggests he's not one to stick around for the long term.

But previously it wasnt his money that he had invested, he was the front man for a richer backer at Hull City etc.



He could have bought Hull years ago and nobody else has made a bid, so even if he did want out, it would be bloody hard for him to

Why is it funny?



Did we need him in 2011, 2009 or 2004?

So Hull outbid everyone to a 31 year old backrower whos best days will be behind him?



Well done Hull.



You will still win nowt

Go ask Wests fans what they think of his a player, they would laugh at you for even suggesting his best days are behind him.

You seem a bit negative, anything the matter?
