To follow up, I've always hoped/prayed that the club would sort itself out.

After seeing the shambles we are, added to being banned on SM (for asking questions like why is there no programmes/what is the actual team) I think the club deserves all ot gets ow. Any hope/sympathy is long gone for me. My only interaction is the odd look on here.

Let's be honest, it's not even a PT club, its runike a pub team. Shameful really

If Danny Ward gets the Leeds job then surely Hughes will admit he's lost the plot
...

.....who am I kidding......Hughes can do no wrong!

Did we let Ward go, or did he actually foresee/was told what was coming and wanted out??

He told them he was leaving at the end of the season, but then Hughes threw a fit and sacked him on the spot. But yes he was not going to stay for 2022. I'm guessing he did not want to go PT, and why should he.

To get back to the original question, bugger all from what I can see.

What a heart breaking decline for a once great club. Hughes is totally responsible for this for allowing himself to have a greater than thou know it all attitude and aided and abetted by a lobster and a monkey

The exact same thing is going on that we have seen in the past so no surprise with where we find ourselves.. The club really needed to step up to make a success of this move but has failed to do so. Hughes is diabolical owner. Yes he seems to have some money and a love the game but is clearly clueless on how to run the club and incapable of recruiting someone suitable to do it. He has turned us from SL playoff regulars with almost sustainable crowd numbers into a club that will be lucky to survive in Championship.

Gus Mackay's appointment, the name reverting back and subsequent move to the hive can be seen as key moments, but Loubser has been in place now for nearly a decade.

Yes, Hughes is a truly awful owner, but he is not alone in being culpable......one rat has already left the sinking ship and you wonder how long it'll be before Loubser follows suit.

If the ship sinks, & that looks favourite, the Lobster will of course be in his element.

Gus Mackay's appointment: beyond disaster. Move to the Hive: worse than that (if that's possible).

But name reverting back a bad thing? Sorry, not for me. I was never happy being a perfunctory adjunct to a RU club where we had averaged nearly three times their crowds at *their ground* a few years before.

No one else will remember this. but when we played at The Stoop against Halifax(?) in the Challenge Cup back in the Centenary Season (again it's a ?), there was one tiny member's stand and the rest was a rope around a field. And on that member's stand they had posters for a book that read "Brian Moore: Scourge of the Establishment, Man of the People". "Scourge of the Establishment" who plays for England RU? (And I may be wrong, but wasn't his "profession" stockbroker at the time?) Sorry, no: I laughed then, and I still think it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

But I'm surprised you, orangeman, are saying this: Hughes employed them so it's his fault.
