Serious story in the Mail tomorrow. Makes Hull FC and the RFL look like idiots at best.

| Quote: Barnacle Bill "Getting screwed over are your words not mine and I don't understand what you're referring to when you use them. You bought the myth of a well managed "profitable" club and clung onto that while your team was going from bad to worse.
Your full cap squad has easily been second best in this city and all you had to crow about was the "profits" you were making.
![]()
We were a profitable club. The reason being however was because of a lack of investment in the squad, in youth, in facilities, in coaching staff, etc. we were only going to be profitable for so long, and that's why they got rid. They sucked the club dry, then took the money and left it for someone else to sort out. THAT'S what I'm referring to.
Speaking of myths, I don't suppose you could show us our club's salary bill could you? Because I can't recall us being at full cap for a while considering we kept bringing in players mid-season...
And "easily best" has you in 7th vs 8th last year and 6th vs 7th the year before. You had one good year in 2009 to our 2007, and your 7th in 2008 is balanced by our Cup Final appearance.
But yeah, "easily" second best (in Imaginationland)

James Rule is married to an American lady, which certainly rules him out of being Kath Hetherington's son-in-law.  |

| Quote: Barnacle Bill "Never mind eh? You've always got the profits, who needs on field results?
So tell me, as a fan, would you rather the club makes a profit or would you rather have better on field results?
Come back when you're stopped crying eh?
![]()
I'd rather have on field results, and so would the vast majority of sports fans, and NO-ONE has said otherwise. You're inventing your own little arguments to make yourself feel superior. The Straw Man technique.
I wouldn't mind, but it's hardly like a supporter of Hull KR can get on his high horse about "on field results". Like I've said, you've done marginally better than us overall in the 5 seasons you've been up here, but we've been closer to actually winning a trophy. So in this instance, I'd rather be a profitable also-ran than a constabtly propped-up cant stand on our own two feet also-ran.
When your club has actually achieved something, and you've actually got an argument without loads of flaws and inaccuracies (full cap, eh?), then come back yeah? You'd think with the fact you spend more time on the Hull FC board than the Hull KR board you'd actually know what you're talking about...

Apparently the RFL will be supplying their side of things in League Express tommorrow, maybe they can publish the findings of the ' Visagate ' investigation while they're at it |
