Premiership new boys Hull City Wanderers, led by ex Bolton wing wizard Phil Brown were today said to be trying to play down rumours suggesting they could be the new Bolton.
It is believed audacious Hull led by cockney wide-boy chairman Paul Duffbudgie and his "mysterious backers" have tabled a bid for the entire Bolton playing staff, coaching staff and laundry lady as a job lot. Though dour and painful to watch as a group they wear/wash the shirt with pride (for the right money) and somehow keep you up and the gravy train rolling on.
The former Bolton connections don't stop there as it it believed Sam Allardyce (ex Bolton) could soon be unveiled as the clubs new goalkeeper for the forthcoming premier campaign. Big Sam is said to be a safe pair of hands to guide the club through its transistional period until it is firmly established that Hull City Wanderers are the new Bolton. ie by staying up.
A club spokesperson would not comment on these matters, but when asked about the clubs mystery backers he claimed 'the Inter City Firm has now disbanded and gone into retirement"
