Oooh there you go - assuming the worst.

It was just a joke, not a dig a JF,
I'm pleased he's putting his money in, I thank him for it and long may it continue.

I just find it ironic the money wasn't there until he put it in.
The FACTS are JF has had investment doubts - we all know that !

I Just found the wording of your sentence amusing - so sorry for breathing !  

The only thing I'm calling into question is your ability not to over-react over nothing.

Jesus wept, can't people make an innocent joke anymore ?  
Humour Boooooo !

Fella, understand something. In the sort of environments I've worked in all my (working) life, I am around people like you, who try and fail to be relevant, witty, ironic, critical superior. They will often hide behind that they were "looking for a rise" when in real terms they have been exposed as an almighty bore.

You don't wind me up, you just bore me and I don't like being bored. Maybe I should just not read your posts. Im sure its what Rob Scott would tell me to do.

I have no desire to pick at you - I actually thought it was funny.

I'm afraid you've got the wrong end of the stick - end of.  

But thanks for getting personal - suffice to say I have no desire to exchange insults.

Quoted from marinerian


Burns is a Town fan! Hull at the moment are riding higher than us so they will get more coverage, especially with their larger fanbase etc.

Burns asks questions, some are awkward questions but they cause debate and get people ringing Radio Humberside to have their opinion heard. Sure any top dog at a Radio station would want this.

Also JT had the oppertunity to become head sports person but required him to cover more Hull and Scunty bollox games, he declined because his passion is covering GTFC.....was told this Saturday night by someone at Radio Humberside.



Find it hard to believe Burnsy a town fan, he has to have a work related interest with him still covering games here from time to time, but like I said I listen to him a lot and he's always going on about Hull city this Hull city that, seems pretty obvious listening to him who his team is.
Anyway I think he lives in the hull so naturally he would have more passion for them.

Quoted from DavidB


The Trust is caught between a rock and a hard place, with little negotiating power - and JF is seizing the opportunity to try and force the issue and protect his own position - and he is an experienced operator with the determination to get his own way. He is using the goodwill of the Trust (whose aim is to support the Club) and their financial weakness (no money!) to try and resolve the situation created 12 months ago when MP and JF's working relationship broke down, with the threat of withholding funding as the lever.

What it seems he fears is a future Trust - Mike Parker voting combination which with current share allocations would outvote him - and he's put pressure on the Trust over the past few months to 'clarify their position / come up with proposals'. He knows what he's doing - in effect the Trust is being put in a position ('manipulated' might or might not be a bit strong!) where they are damned if they do and damned if they don't....very uncomfortable, and not very fair on the Trust (we all know the answer to this, but JF could just as easily approach MP with the same argument to 'resolve the issue of control lying outside the Boardroom'!)
