It's all well and good applauding him for keeping us going, but IMO the cash is being spent in the wrong place(s). £30k a week over 52 weeks......where the hell is it going?

It shows how bad things are when the fans start knocking David Hughes

Rupe's not a fan

Agreed. And I am not nocking DH.....just pointing out that he is chucking 30k a week at the WRONG department. As I have said in the marketing thread....we are 100% reliant on him now.....and you reap what you sow.

You heard something from the L&L? :O

Lock this thread, it's awful.

they're all awful at the moment.

I'm sorry but this thread should be locked as David Hughes is perhaps the only person currently associated with our club that deserves any credit. It is run by idiots, the players are useless, the coaching staff have nothing to work with, nothing is working. I have never experienced a feeling like this before. If rupe1 wants to discuss this more at the next home game I am up for it

None of us can work out where 30k a week is going. None of us know the details. IMO though we are somehow being swindled by the RU club as not even the clowns in charge of our club can run Harlequins RL so inefficiently.

I swear I want to do a PHD in how abysmal our club is and how problems could be solved. It's not even down to marketing etc, interesting GF, regardless of what was reported, todays crowd was probably the best of the season. Try and explain that.

Can't. If you say there were more than the Wakey game (3,68icon_cool.gif and they reported 2,819 today, either they lied about wakey, counted free tickets allocated for Wakey as part of the MASSIVE marketing campaign or a load of East Hull finest jumped the fence today.
I agree that the club has been run badly and I agree that DH is the only person to still have much credit at all, but HE WAS RESPONSIBLE for employing pretty much everyone currently at the club. He doesn't sign the players, but he signed the coach who assembled this squad.
Back office is harder to quantify as we don't know what restrictions are in lace on finance, but you have to ask what the point of having a marketing person is if there is no budget.

Which core of the team is still present, that SHOULD be performing? I am struggling to identify our core now.

I couldn't care less how we operate with ball in hand when we ship 50 points.

A hamster could do a better job, but thanks anyway
