He is responsible for the abomination that is Harlequins RL.

Did the villagers applaud when Dr. Frankenstein created his monster?

and you wonder why nobody takes you seriously

I didn't see you with your cheque book at the ready in 2005 when it all went wrong.....in fact, I didn't see you on cold wet thursday nights leaflet dropping with other FANS who wanted to see the club do well......all you are is a keyboard warrior who WANTS the club to fail.....as I said above

No I am not, but you keep defending rupe1...he has the clubs best interest at heart.

It's okay to talk about Marketing of the club gutterfax, which most of us accept is a serious problem, but you have to have the Product to market and it is pointless with what we are producing with performances, you can attract as many new people as possible with innovative marketing, but would we keep them, on our current state No!

I agree 100%.....but when I first met the club (2 years before I even became a supporter) the team was doing OK and they STILL had no cash for marketing. This is a problem of their own making. We had 2 Play-off teams to market and the 1 game that was marketed properly (IMO) we had a gate of 6,500 at griffin park. What odds us getting 6,500 for Leeds this year?
We had a product......even up to half way through last year we had a product that could be sold. Now......I honestly don't know if anyone could sell what's left of the club

He does not, no. Not anymore. He has harped on about how crap things are, which many others have subsequently done. Not defending him, pointing out comparisons.

This is your way of saying to him how he could have supported the club, as you yourself did no doubt. This is why you brought it up. You are the only one of those people who did it that brings it up. It's adulation you seek, so I'll give you some. You're great, well done.

Rupe, the only people clapping the s**t that was on offer on Monday were a handful of the "Loyal & Loud". To be fair, most of their applause was drowned out by the booing.

If I was in David Hughes position my biggest wish right now would be for BMcD to be offered another job or resign. Unfortunatlely, he seems too pig headed to resign and realistically we are clutching at straws for him to get another job. However, while that possibility remains there is perhaps has no urgency to act as the damage is done for this season. I would certainly not be giving BMcD any money that may have been freed up to replace Wells, Robinson, James. He would surely waste it and it is best held back for his replacement to utilise.

Why thank you...I feel better already
What I actually seek is cold hard cash....I find utilities companies prefer that when it comes to paying bills

You really are a drama queen aint,cha Rupe??

The club runs at a loss, the team are losing and folks aren't turning up to watch. The answer is not:
1.. Firing the coach, which will cost more money (Who employs and has the right to fire a coach - David Hughes).
2.. Spending money we don't have (Who tolerates defeat after defeat - David Hughes)
3.. Walking away and allowing a club you have selflessly supported for years to go down the tubes without finding someone to replace you (Who is losing money hand over fist yet really doesn't seem bothered by it - David Hughes)
4.. Not apply for a new licence, especially given that the criteria aren't solely winning games and increasing crowds - the whole point of the licence system is to allow clubs to grow in a stable environment (Who has created a franchise that is an insult to Super League - David Hughes).
I don't doubt that DH is as gutted as the rest of us with the losing run we're on, and I strongly doubt he enjoys throwing money into the pot - I'm just glad he's around.

I wonder if things would continue to be left to rot as they have if relegation was at stake ?
