Matty Jacob damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom2 Jul 2029

Hull City put Daniel Carter on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad2 Jul 2029

A fracture rules Ashley Fletcher out for 101 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hull City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom2 Jul 2029

The Hull City board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Stoke City join the queue for Nobel Mendy

Add another name to the list: Stoke City have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Nobel Mendy. The answer from Hull City has not changed — yet.

Market2 Jul 2029

Thimothée Lo-Tutala asks to leave Hull City

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market2 Jul 2029

Thimothée Lo-Tutala is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Hull City is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Hull City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Real improvement from Nicolás Spaltro at Hull City

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Nicolás Spaltro is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Supporters organise against the Hull City board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Market24 Jul 2028

Nobel Mendy says no to Liverpool

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Nobel Mendy had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market24 Jul 2028

Ben Nelson puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Hull City, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Jul 2028

Hull City say no — this time

The offer from Brentford for Christos Mouzakitis was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad24 Jul 2028

The step up is real for Nobel Mendy

At 23 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Market24 Jul 2028

Hull City sign Ashley Fletcher for $1.8M

The paperwork is done: Ashley Fletcher joins from Middlesbrough in a deal worth $1.8M. Now comes the harder part.

Squad24 Jul 2028

Tempers go at Hull City

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets24 Jul 2028

Door shut on Theo Archibald

Hull City asked and Exeter City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Nicolás Spaltro gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Nicolás Spaltro has just signed for Hull City, and for once the answer mattered.
