Yeah, right!!!!
They have given him 45K per week on a FOUR AND A HALF YEAR deal.
That's the small matter of 10.5 million quid (pre-tax) over the term of the deal.
That is a very scary commitment from Hull, if they go down this year or next he might decided to hang around unless they pay him off as he won't get that sort of deal elsewhere.
Feckin hell, can you believe HULL are paying someone 45K per week?

I doubt it Len, he probably would not have taken the deal if they wanted to put that clause in there,
they have offered him 45k per week for the next five years and he will have wanted that guaranteed before he agreed to the deal.
No, that's not right at all.
The problem with this deal is that all of Hull's best established players (the ones they want to keep) are going to DEMAND parity with Bullard or at least get very close to his wages for their next contract - that's a massive financial commitment for Hull.
In addition, lets say they move next for someone like Nicky Shorey or Stephen Hunt, the player/agent is going to say, "You gave Bullard 45K per week, why won't you give that to us?"
It sets a very dangerous precedent for the club, Hull cannot have their core players on 15K per week and Bullard on 45K, that is never going to work.
Oh, and by the way, Jimmy Bullard is 31 years old this year.....
Even I'd move to Hull for double the wages.
I'm pretty sure he did actually.
That said even with it he was still one of our highest paid players after relegation.
Hull are paying a dangerous game if they don't have one for Bullard.
He's evidently seen as mortar to cement Hull's place in the Prem ..... and secure their gravy train for one more year at least.
Although they've struggled lately, 3 wins and 3 draws should be enough - especially if the points are taken from relegation strugglers.
If Bullard helps the team achieve that, it'll be deemed money well spent.
And currently being only 6 points above the drop zone, there's no guarantee.
That's the gamble.
But is it a gamble or a risk. If only some posters could explain to me the difference, with suitable examples from other industries.
: - )
And the gamblers are all in rehab, Henry.
I see.
In any case maybe he was on MORE at Fulham and has taken a pay cut to go to Hull.

Santa Clauses, more like.

Great stuff, it's like watching a train crash!

Or Hull are the new Bradford. When they survived their first season in the premiership, didn't they pay Carbone that amount? And look what happened to them!!!
I believe that they are trying to make it a "pay-as-you-play" deal.
ahhhh excitement ------------ahhhh signing players that other clubs actually wanted -------------a life time ago.
i like the bloke, good luck to him he went to erith school where a couple of my mates went so fair play to the lad.
Never...
At least 2 of the Hull players have had falling outs with Brown and will only talk to him when it's totally necessary.
