Hull: Brian Carney believes Hull FC is on a better financial path now. The club aims to improve its Super League standing after a tough season.
Last season, Hull FC finished 11th. They have new owners, Andrew Thirkill and David Hood, who bought the club from Adam Pearson. These owners plan to invest profits back into the team for three years.
Carney, a former player, sees positive changes. New signings like John Asiata and Jordan Rapana join the squad. He notes the pressure is on to deliver results this season.
Carney told All Out Rugby League that financial stability is key. He feels Hull won’t face the same struggles as Salford. The new ownership seems committed to spending wisely to improve the club.
He understands it will take time. If Hull finishes low again, he won’t be too worried. The focus should be on building a successful future.
Carney also mentioned Hull’s goal to develop young talent. The club can now spend more while nurturing these players. They are using the full salary cap to support this growth.
He added that this is the first time in years Hull can invest for the long term. Building academies takes time, but the club has the resources to do both.
