Why would he want to portray himself as a greedy f*cker to all his fans both at FC and at Saints? I personally think he's gone to Saints because he wants to achieve more as a player, when someone looks back at their career they want to be able to say they have achieved their goals!

I agree with this to a degree, besides if he did go for money then Bomber is talking baba as he claimed that Manu would have been one of the highest players at the club and another club would have to offer an astronomical amount!

If this was the case, why has he stayed with us for as long as he has? Doubt very much he believed we would win anything under the last regime.

Why cant people accept that Manu hasnt gone for money but to play in a team that consistently reaches finals? I mean look at Hull FC, its an absolute fecking disaster zone atm. Every man and his dog seems to want to jump ship, performances are dogcack and our new mega god coach seems to talk a good game then its baba on the pitch which sounds all too familair. Then youve got the owner sounding off about bringing in four more, or is it six, or is it eight new players and what do you all expect this to achieve as it wont achieve success in one or even two seasons which is what Manu has more chance of at Saints under Brown. So stop bagging the bloke and start understanding why hes doing it as hes not gonna say im leaving because FC are consistently garbage and i see nothing that makes me think things are gonna change is he - he's being diplomatic ffs

Because maybe he has become less and less confident that we will be challenging for silverware in the coming years, whereas he is more or less guaranteed to be in at least one final a year with Saints, especially with the new coach coming in there.

He stayed with us while Agar and Hetherington were in charge, but now he's leaving to challenge? Yeah, that's it.
If Saints make a final in the two years he's there I'll be shocked.

The thing is even when Saints don't look like they'll do much, they actually do. And as he's coming to the end of his career I don't think he'd want to wait a few years to find out if this regime will work out. (I'm not knocking this regime, I'm a massive fan of Gentle and Pearson)

He might change his mind and ask to stay yet!
