| Just seeing whether fans of other clubs were aware of the changes going on at Hull since Adam Pearson bought the club, and how they think we'll do in 2012 and beyond?
The changes so far for 2012:
Players:
IN :- Brett Seymour (NZW), Aaron Heremaia (NZW), Jamie Ellis (Leigh), Eamon O'Carroll (Wigan), Tony Martin (Crusaders), Wade McKinnon (Wests) & Andy Lynch (Bradford).
OUT:- Lee Radford, Ewan Dowes, Danny Washbrook, Cameron Phelps, Martin Gleeson, Mike Burnett, Sean Long, Craig Fitzgibbon & Hame Lauaki.
Board Level:
CEO James Rule gone. New Director of Rugby appointed in Shaun McRae.
Coaching:
New Head Coach Peter Gentle, Richard Agar gone.
New assistant coaches Andy Hay & Lee Radford appointed, James Webster gone.
Youth & Training:
Moving to a new training facility within the city boundaries.
Youth structures to have a complete overhaul & more investment (particularly since losing Luke Briscoe to Leeds).
Season Tickets have also seen a slight reduction in price.
As a lifelong Hull fan, I've never witnessed changes like this in such a short space of time. Pearson has highlighted that the old regime ran things on an extremely tight budget, and some areas of the club have suffered from little or no investment, which he is trying to recify. We've not even been operating at full cap!

| I think it's obvious hull will finish top, win every game and do the cc and gf double. How can they fail when they have signed ''the best player not to play for australia'' in Brett Seymour and ''the finest young talent west of the Pennines'' in eamonn o'carroll

I think the point of " marks are to quote, do you have a link to them quotes?

I think you might want to check what I wrote; there's a difference between "one of the best players not to play for Aus" and the "best player not to play for Aus". Infact, if you read my thread properly, I was annoyed at them saying it about them saying it about both Martin and Seymour and I'm sure you'll admit that changing your mind about a player, only weeks after signing him, is bad form for a club.
