It’s an oldie but a good un….
Two hikers out hiking in the Rockies when they walk into a clearing and are confronted by an angry brown bear ready to attack.

One of the guys says stand still and only move when I say.
Incredibly, the other guy takes off his rucksack, takes out a pair of trainers and starts undoing his hiking boots.

Incredulous, his mate whispers you won’t outrun that bear, they can run up to 25mph over rocky ground.
To which his mate replies….

I don’t have to outrun the bear, I just have to outrun you!
This season will be tougher still imo with the likes of Forest and Spuds making significant changes, signings, but I’m very optimistic that we can finish above all three promoted sides, if we keep our most successful formation and make some additional signings at the level of Stach and DCL, we can continue to establish ourselves and continue to bridge the financial chasm to the top teams.

Hull have 200m to spend.
I agree, class. If we continue our best formation and upgrade a few areas, Wilson for Arrenson is a start. Add a good goalkeeper, central defender, midfielder and striker, all of which are replacement starters once they've earned the right.

I think the Hull figure breaks down to £130m on transfers and £70m on salaries. It is larger than our transfer budget, but not as much as Sunderland spent last year, which was just above the £150m mark.

Let's not forget that Hull pretty much needs an entire squad upgrade.
It also has to be done wisely.

We thought the same about Sunderland squad last window, Dave.

Hull can have a £150 million to spend.

They will still finish 19th or 20th.

The 3 promoted clubs, Leeds, Palace and Sunderland, will make up bottom six imo.
