We all bring replica shirts, our boots and a couple of quid subs. I can occasionally catch a rugby ball, can I play full back?

I wouldn't sell for £1.5m if I was her either.

| Quote Mild mannered Janitor="Mild mannered Janitor"I like you love Hull FC, but if you are going to post such rubbish and try and let on that you think you are helping the club, then don't bother. If you genuinely asked what you have posted you would be laughed out of sight.
Give the club back to the people????? The club NEVER belonged to the people. In my supporting lifetime, prior to the current regime, there was Lloyd = closed shop. Prior to him, Waudby's / Kirkwood = closed shop!
She is the major custodian on the basis SHE OWNS THE CLUB AND ITS HER'S TO DO AS SHE WANTS. This is something some on here find it hard to swallow and comprehend. Unless Someone matches her valuation then she will not budge, and you can hardly blame her for not wanting to sell her livelihood without making a profit.
And if you really think that prices would change should someone other than a Euromillions quadruple rollover winner take charge then you really need to get in the real world.
You may think I am having a go at you personally , but i am not. But posting things like "promised" and "fleecing the fans" is just plain sensationalism and wrong.
A more realistic question would be,
How long will the management continue to accept substandard performances from the players and coaches, which will result in lost revenue?
When the point comes what action will you take?
Will there be some acceptance of responsibility of management failings (Thackrey, salary cap, Webster, failure to secure overseas signings etc), the president being set by Mr Plummers resignation following the Paul Cooke affair?

Good post that.
Your right it is very important that the right questions are asked if the opportunity arises, which it wont.

| There has been a lot said about Kath Hetherington and most of it gets said when things are not going right on the park, maybe clouding some peoples judgment.
Putting all personal vendettas aside i have always found her to be a fair woman and have spoken to her on many occasions. I am not here to defend her in any shape way or form but some people on her have very short memories.
Not only did Kath take over a dying club with all its debts but she turned it round into a profit making enterprise. On top of that the club plays in a state of the art stadium, has a fantastic player development program and very strong links with the local community. The merchandising and branding of the club is excellent and they are innovative in many areas of their business.
We have all heard about the Mally Walker offer to buy up her shares but does anybody seriously think he would be any better?? What experience has he got of running a SL club?? Rugby League is a niche market and i would take experience over devotion any day of the week.
Kath is the right person to take the club forward at this moment in time as there is nobody with anything better to offer and she deserves to see it through.
All IMO of course

It may be a niche market, but its a business also. Its about identifying revenue streams, i.e with the merchandising. Thats why we have a merchandise manager, to oversee that. We have community development managers, managers in every area that pull together as a collective for the owner. If that owner has a passion for the club then they will know when an area is failing and change it. You dont necessarily need the "rugby league" experience, you surround yourself with people that are, but esure that those people are the right people

You'll get nowhere on here posting common sense.

So he offered less than the minimum valuation based on shares and debts?
Why did he think that might be acceptable? Was he willing to negotiate at all?
