Got to be quiet for a reason, surely......please!!

The lack of update on the fans forum is the interesting one, its in two weeks and yet nothing has been mentioned since the initial annoucement.

I like to think they are waiting to pair it with a big announcement (New owner/investor, New signing etc). However I also wouldn't be shocked if they have just forgotten about it

Me neither. At a guess anyone of real quality who will enhance our 17 is already signed up unless we are prepared to pay transfer fees.

It wouldn't surprise me if we signed a couple of championship or fringe SL players to give the squad more depth. We need more than that.

Robbie Storey? Born in Hull, had a decent season for London - strong.

Cartwright is here. Photographed at the the stadium on twitter but nothing in the HDM which I find a bit odd.

Maybe once they appoint the new manager at Man Utd, INEOS will announce the takeover at Hull?

I admire your optimism but I find that a strange default position if you support this club. If there’s radio silence I’m more inclined to believe there’s not much to shout about, with the season ticket deadline looming you’d think if they had some positive news they’d want it out there.

The talk of signings was literally in the season ticket brochure to push season tickets. Cust was one, I’m not saying they’re not on the look out for this hardworking middle that was mentioned and are no doubt trying but I doubt they’ve signed someone of note and are just sitting on it. I’d be surprised if didn’t make an offer for Bullock when he was made available, might be back to drawing board now he’s announced at Salford.

Don't think we will sign anyone of note before the season, but think we are trying, I'd rather wait and see what happens during the seas, than sign someone like Ruan, I wouldn't be against him in addition to someone like Sutton, but it as the main signing.
