I am pretty new to this forum, and have read some of the posts regarding this.

One thing I will say, regarding EW, I have known him for about 25 years. I worked with him at the same company for a few years.

He is a loyal fan of the club, and has been for much longer than I have known him. Maybe if he does have a fault, it is sometimes been a little too passionate in what he says, and wears his heart on his sleeve a little bit.

I have read some of his posts, and I will be honest, I dont always agree with what he says, but I dont ever recall him saying about having knowledge on how to run a rugby club.

He has played the sport to a decent standard, worked within more than one super league club, including ours, and done some voluntary work abroad with an emerging nation, so although he probably doesn't have the knowledge needed, he will have some I would think, and probably more than some on here.

I caught up with him over a beer at a game last year, and he was saying about ideas of generating extra income. Some of the ideas I don't think were that bad. I wonder how many fans have actually thought, are there any ways, we can get more people through the door, to generate more income?

As for the doom and gloom bit, and the grim reaper bit. Lets be honest, there was probably a lot of fans that felt down at this time. I recall this morning, the interview at the end of the MPG, and I will be honest, I wasn't that confident that MC would be running the club, much longer after that, the way things were worded. Maybe, just maybe, he thought that, at the time of writing his posts, and didnt think MC's heart was fully in it at that point

All joking apart, it's another indication of how far we've come in such a short time. Long may it continue!

It is NEWildcat, you are right.

I think will we thought things could improve, I don't think many fans in the wildest of dreams could imagine a turnaround like this, so quick

Edited for accuracy.

I can assure you it was NOT Hull KR

Ok time for this one to go back to the archives.
