Just had a peep at the Hull board. They are recalling him to cover for the injured James Chester and in order to do this they are willing to lose the 1 million they would have got if he had stayed with us. Being as he is under contract to them we'll just have to hope he'll join us at the end of the season when he isn't.

So is Hobbs fit again or what? I've read that he's training with Hull.
If so he's bloody cup-tied - why has he been recalled immediately? Is Bruce being a sneaky ****?
We could possibly draw Hull in the next round (I said 'possibly') at home.
Would be interesting to see if Hobbs would travel with them.
leaves us short at the back now, he really was the difference and a big help to jamaal, colins aint no hobbs,
come back wilson!

I think the cause lies no further than Hulls chairman. Exactly what he's done isn't clear yet.
Fawaz tweeted in arabic something, that through google reads-
If sinned person is not worthy of your words .. Do not be sad .. But smile .. Because he has provided you the trouble of discovering his character ...!
I reckon that's a swipe.

Regarding Jack Hobbs - I agreed a deal with Hull?s owner, but regrettably their injury situation prompted them to recall him. #nffc

I completely respect Hull's decision. We'll continue to monitor Jack's situation closely. I would like to thank him for his efforts at #nffc
I take that as game playing and also that Fawaz has washed his hands of it.
Hull have welched on a deal. Simple as.

My guess is that Forest were unwilling (or even unable?) to meet his wage demands so nothing was finalised. Hull have had fresh interest from Reading or Wigan and want to maximise their players value before the window closes. It looks like Hobbs could see the season out at any of the four clubs depending on who is willing to pay what.
