Cant recall there ever being a rumour that he was going to Hull? I follow Nixon too. Looked on twitter and can’t see anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all fairness, Nixon gets more right than he gets wrong , he’s one of the more reliable journos on twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a friend who’s good mates with Hull owner - he informed me after the event that it was Hull who were turning FF’s head prior to him signing a new contract. He (my mate) also tried to get Steve Caulker here on loan at beginning of the season, but CC didn’t want to know. Seems like we might have missed out with that one as he’s once again turning in commanding performances in Scotland amid interest from bigger clubs!

Carlos wasn’t confirmed as manager until just before the season started, Nixon said he was coming here weeks before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Nixon has contacts at Doyen hence when they were heavily involved at Wednesday he used to get a lotof his posts correct as it was from the horses mouth. Doyen have hooks in Sunderland hence why we did quite a bit of business with them loaning players. The downside on this rumour is I hope doyen are still not influencing recruitment, I suspect Nixon wll have picked up on story from Sunderland side of things (well I am hoping so). Our recruitment was not driven by our requirements but rather what was on Doyen shelf, hence why we have ended up with an extremely unbalanced aged injury prone squad. Personally do not know much about Honeyman but reeal good write up from Sunderland press suggests he has something to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally do not know much about Honeyman but reeal good write up from Sunderland press suggests he has something to offer. it has crippled our club, we recruited too many 'ball playing' midfielders who can't put a foot in, we haven't any pace in the side, especially wide men. if in life you only ever shopped in one store you'd miss out on an awful lot of things elsewhere. our policy it appears has been far too narrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 This whole getting blocked by Nixon thing is like a football transfer window version of Last Christmas. Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance But you still catch my eye Tell me, baby Do you recognize me? Well, it's been a year It doesn't surprise me (Merry Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying, "I love you, " I meant it Now, I know what a fool I've been But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know FF’s preferences or his wife - but if Ravenelli can play for Middlesbrough I’m sure FF could be swayed (financially) to play for Hull.

Nixon's like many other of these Twitter rumour mongers. They occasionally get a hit, but post a lot of hot air, and when they do get it right, it's usually a rumour that can be sourced elsewhere, but his followers saw him say it 1st, so believe he's ITK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Forgive me for being thick, or possibly 'out of he loop' but WHO IS this Nixon chap. Not living in Sheffield, I don't get to read the Sheffield -oriented papers, and, to me Twitter is something that birds do. That's the trouble with my generation. The question is, however, genuine. I like to follow the news on OT, and oblique references to 'Nixon' may as well be the ex-President Richard Nixon as far as I am aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
