Honeyman to Hull?


Do the deluded still not get it any club in the country no matter the division can take our players and the manager will never see the money.

I did say if and that seems to be the suggestion of several journalists on Twitter. Obviously they could be twisting the narrative to get a story.
You might say nobody is gutted to see him leave but he is a player the manager made captain and played in the vast majority of games, so he must rate him somewhat.
I think you are correct that some people will use it to have a go at the club, but ito not the first time it’s been suggested (albeit denied) that decisions are being made not led by the manager.

It may well be that the owners have fucked Honeyman off and taken the money as he is in the last year of his contract. Afterall he is represented by a certain Ms Byrne who may have been asking for another contract as she has done in the past with other players... Just seems that the owners are getting rid of the remaining shit left over from previous administrations...... :) :) :)

If they are saving close to half half a million by selling him he must be on 9k a week. So canny bit more than a lot of the other players. Not worth that kind of money.

The manager not knowing his best side was a big reason. Persisting with a bloke who wasn't up to the task being asked if him was part of that.

As was selling Maja, as was the manager not being able to pick his best central midfield, as was the manager not being able to really organising his whole defence and then going defensive as a result. As much as Honeyman's poor form contributed, as many things did, you could also argue Honeyman's willingness to run, support wide colleagues and close down space rather than play the attacking midfield role probably hindered his own form.

Honeyman was just a small part of many reasons we did go up, not the major one, not even close.

Nope. Honeyman's performance as a 10 was so poor it yielded 3 assists all season. He didn't know here to be and what to do and simply went back to the central midfield area. This really isolated wyke or Grigg and meant chance creation was very low. Ross shouldn't have changed it up but I said honeyman playing as a 10 was a main reason why we didn't get promoted. Totally stand by it

As above and he also wasn't playing as a 10 in the way some like Maguire would, he wasn't really occupying an attacking role mostly tbh, more a wide / central support role and closing down opposition space. If anything he was helping out colleagues lack of mobility and if he wasn't meant to be doing that why was he keep being picked and why at the end of the season was he still picked in a wide role when we tightened up further? For me it's totally because the manager valued his ability to get about the pitch more than an ability to create on the ball, so whilst on the ball I think he was more often than not poor and I have no problems with him moving on, in fact I welcome it, suggesting it was the main reason we weren't promoted is ridiculous and I'd question the effect the role the manager wanted him to play had on his own game, because he certainly wasn't being played as an attacking midfielder given freedom or a licence to support and get past the centre forward in an attacking sense, he was there purely for his energy and that's why the manager never persisted with anyone else in his role.
