(1) they can check the person has the right character and mindset for the club. There was a lot of talk about culture and ethos. Not that Hurst isn’t aligned with that.
(2) it shows senior management give a damn and it sends a message
(3) there was talk about using whatsisname who does know about football to help Hurst
(4) it’s always good to be sure.
(5) it’s an opportunity for the player/employee to get a better sense of where they’re going to be working and who for.
In my job I got interviewed by a director 4 tiers above me, who doesn’t know anything about my job, not because of micromanagement but because they want to get the right person not just someone technically competent for the role. The company is very very successful.
It would also be a good idea to remember that someone who wears fluorescent pink boots, has an armful of tattoos, and has a ridiculous hairstyle is not necessarily a good player. |

Can’t say I’m sad to say any of them go. A couple in there gave me a good memory or two but nothing more.
I’d imagine there’s some on the contracted list that have also had a difficult but justifiable conversation about their careers. I wonder if any approach the club for an agreed pay off and look elsewhere?
The likes of Gibson will surely either be frozen out or just end up back in Sunday league? Williams I’m unsure about, I think there’s a player in there but I don’t think Hurst trusts him and I can’t see him being the type of player that will dig in on a Tuesday night away at some god forsaken place...

I work for a family business but it’s a billion £ plus one represented across the World and we do something very similar but also if someone is joining our team one of us will meet them first to see if they’re going to be a good fit. I wonder if any clubs ever get the senior players to run the rule over new recruits (that aren’t their mates) to see if they’d fit with the group ? |

I use to work at the club when he signed. Remember he use to play as a goalkeeper i believe, and was in most peoples eye, just a big guy up front who didn't really do much. Then played once/twice and told to go back? He's just scored 20 goals in league 1 for Hull who have just won the League 1 title....  |

Sending him back was the only way we could afford to sign Malvin Kamara. And who’d want to miss out on an opportunity like that? |

Wow... Didn't he sign a similar time to someone else who's older brother was a good pro? Can't remember his name for the life of me |

If we have an option on a player and we keep him surely he wont be given a 25% pay cut if applicable to the other players. If not offered the same wage surely the option can't be enforced. If so some players 25% pay cut others not = disharmony
