Vinay Bedi from stockbrokers Brewer Dolphin sees a similarity between the situation of Hull City and Middlesbrough when they went down.   Boro had a wage bill that was too big for the Championship and took some time to move players on.   Hull City have a wage bill of around £39m but can expect revenues of £20m - £25m in the Championship.   The inevitable consequence will be a fire sale of players.   And that doesn't always realise maximum value for the selling club.
