Quote jordanp="jordanp"No, but because of Hulls history, our average attendences, big revenue from shirt sales and merchandise, big sponsorship deal, good facilities, good youth set up, making a self sufficent profit, all of these despite having a rival in the city it's safe to say only an idiot would say it isn't a big club, as a general set up off the field I'd say only bettered by Leeds and Wigan.
There are shortcomings in the squad, but there are also some very good players, the biggest reason why we are not competing with the big boys is Agar in my opinion, that and maybe a few questionable recruitment decisions (Long being one) and although Agar may not be fully responsible in that department he will have an input, it would take a good argument to say that everything isn't set up for Hull to challenge for trophies.'"
I wouldn't call Long a questionable recruitment decision to be honest. Like those around him, there is only so much you can do in a poor set-up. Andrew Johns in his prime would probably fail at Hull at the moment. There is just that much wrong to do with on the pitch.
A great coach with a team full of average players will on most occasions beat a crap coach with a team full of superstars IMO. Under a poor coach, the superstars won't be superstars for long!
and some Hull fans want him at the KC
