No one wants Jimmy because of his incredible wage demands, and the injury risk factor! I mean Bullard has been more than happy to take the wages from City, Why on earth don't injured footballers have to go on statutory sick pay! They'd soon be back on their feet!
The players should have to insure themselves against loss of earnings, And let insurance companies fight over who was responsible, It would make players think twice about diving in with horrendous tackles too! Just like managers who get fantastic payoffs for underachieving, These people are crippling the clubs they are supposed to be pushing forward! Money has ruined football!

On that note, why haven't clubs insured salaries of players against injury? It's a pretty standard process in North America so clubs aren't biting the bullet on a multi-million dollar contract when the player is broken in two.

Offering up contracts they simply can't afford is the problem of the club, not the player. Clubs and their doctors get to poke and prod every inch of the player to determine he'll be able to hold up his end of the bargain; players are not allowed to look at the books to ensure the club can actually pay what they've agreed to pay.

It might sound mercenary, but I don't think Bullard owes Hull City AFC any more than what's stipulated in the contract. If he did have a dodgy knee going into the deal, the Hull Doctors should be fired and sued for incompetence.

Bishopville, it is also common practice in Europe. However, due to Bullard's fairly appaling injury record, Hull were unable to secure cover.

Really, truly, this is Hull's own fault, and very little blame attachs to Bullard. Given that it's his last realistic chance of a large contract, asking him to waive it is eseentially asking him to make a multi-million pound donation to Hull City. I see no reason why he should.

Bishopville at the end of your post you point the finger of blame at the Hull medical staff, this is totally ridiculous and shows your ignorance in this matter.

The Hull medical staff advised the club NOT to sign Bullard as they had detected a problem in one of his knee's, Duffen & Brown, fools that they are, declined the advice and signed him up anyway so if you're going to point your finger in future please ensure that you point it in the right direction by checking your facts first which then won't make you appear to be the prize plonker that you obviously are!

...from hero to zero, now you know why we Fulham fans refer to him as Bu££ard...

I'm still surprised that Bullard's behaviour just before leaving Fulham is often overlooked. Wants all that came out, Fulham fans were more than happy to see him go.

If the manager did sign him over the club doctor's advice (which Look Back in Amber seems to suggest), then surely the club have a case against Phil Brown for not discharging his duties in a professional or sensible manner?

Given that before his injury,Jimmy Bullard was on the edges of the England Squad,his wages are probably no higher than they ought to be by todays PL standards.
So I really cant see what the player has done wrong myself.
This article seems to be a thinly-veiled public calling for Jimmy Bullard to take a self-imposed pay cut for the benefit of Hull City.
Why the hell should he do that?
Hull City and their fans were quite happy to have Premiership status and have all the big name players,internationals, and foreigners come in...
Now individual players are being scapegoated for the ensuing financial mess that relegation has brought.Injuries are part and parcel of the risk of football and clubs and fans cant quibble when players get injured.The comment that Bullard was ducking out of challenges is scandalous in my view.The author may not like the guy but such comments are out of order.And what is this arrogance and complacency that Bullard has shown?
Would that be simply to ask Hull to abide by the terms of a mutually agreed contract....???Again out of order..
We had something similar to this when Portsmouth went into administration a couple of months ago,they tried to make Sol Campbell look bad simply for demanding money that was contractually due to him......
The bottom line is that some of these clubs need to look at themselves and try living within their means,rather than blaming easy targets(ie the players).
We all know that wages at the top end of English football are at silly levels,but the question should be why do chairmen of clubs that should probably be in League One hand out silly contracts?

Jimmy Bullard has done nothing wrong,lay off him
