However you look at the signing of Jones he has been a huge disappointment. When he signed the contract he and his wife knew where Hull was and that he would have to either relocate or commute, yet he still signed. So unless somehow Hull has moved to the other side of the world then not being able to settle is load of bolIox. As Wilf mentioned he seemingly never integrated or mixed with the team from the start so never really gave it a chance as such was never going to ‘settle’ so he didn’t want to be here, so why sign?
For 5 years I commuted to Deeside and when offered the job I knew it meant either moving or commuting. I spoke about it with my wife and decided to take the job. The travelling at times was a pain but I didn’t need to settle as I still lived in Hull and saw my wife every day. After 4 years I decided that we would either have to move west or look for another job nearer home. I eventually chose to get a job nearer home but saw out my 5 year contract.
So I just don’t see why sports people seem to find that so hard to do and no doubt on far more than most of us are on.
ATEOTD it’s just an excuse to hide behind, no one forced him sign for Hull he chose to.
