Plus West Ham have been active in bringing in players this summer, so he may be part of a fringe group of players making way. The dream of a Hugill return is still on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 2,492 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 No idea. I know it's all about return on investment and all that, but if they are selling Byram for less than £1m, it would take some brass *** to try to get anywhere close to £6m for Hugill Link to post Share on other sites

king boro 11 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) I wonder what steve gibson will use his retirement money on maybe on his hotels or setting up some business in the area to create jobs for people. Edited July 15, 2019 by king boro Link to post Share on other sites

The need for instant success is ridiculous Keep your hair on man. I never once said 'its my priority'. I have been following Boro since Ayresome park and have experienced pain before. As for keeping our identity, by that you mean the feast to famine of how we have been operating for a good number of years. Well I disagree, I don't want my club to do that. I also didn't mention a foreign investor, I also never said I want instand success. Wrong end of stick and manipulating words come to mind. Out club is a joke at the moment, I'm actually glad woody is head coach, I can't wait for the season to start but the fact that we are having to sell before we can buy (AGAIN) is a tad frustrating, I'm a project manager and we have a thing called 'lessons learned' after a project. The club need to give it a go as we fail over and over again. But yeah let's keep doing it mate, as long as we keep our identity, we won't have a bloody club if we carry on like this. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
