Obviously only rumours, but I have heard that the takeover is in final stages, embargo's on statements from the club etc. Also, Andy Last wouldn't be coming back if AP was here, he can't stand the guy. So putting 2+2 together, and hopefully getting 4!

I think the Last thing is a complete red herring as all the rumours I’ve heard going round say that AP stays on as CEO or whatever for X amount of years, if there was a problem between them that would be even worse.

My guess is it that it will be AP as owner with the Myler family connection with some kind of stake. I don’t think we’ll be buying top domestic players out of their contracts either way it’s very rare even for clubs with rich owners. If there is another first 17 signing I’d be more inclined to think we’ll try and free a quota spot. You’d hope they have someone lined up before going down that route.

Yep that's the recurring story I'm getting. (but not the Andy Last bit, I don't think he's capable of hating anyone)

I don't see why Thirkhill would want just a minority stake in Hull. Also if it was just an investment I doubt it would take this long to happen.

So you keep telling us over and over and over again

Keep ironing the shirt and tell yourself everything will be alright next season because of the quality players Myler is bringing in.
It seems it may take some time for the reality to kick in

I have no idea of his motives or thinking, but I just can’t see a sale, I’ll happily be wrong on that though. Also if people are ‘hearing from reliable sources’ in Hull that it’s a takeover that’s enough alone to suggest it isn’t. It was only 5 months ago the exact same people were convinced AP had sold out to a Saudi Royal family bid fronted by Scotty Taylor.

He had a lot of insights - he’s aged 44.

He said JC is an aggressive coach and well respected and we will be very fit and play aggressive in your face rugby.

Can't see it being Josh Hannay mate?
But then again, you do roll with the big dogs.

Just listened to this myself and whilst not completely clear as he kind of said it quickly and in passing, its gonna be interesting if it doesn't go ahead as to who they may end up with
