cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

I honestly haven't felt this dispirited about the direction, future and prospects of our once great club since the very dark days of 1999.
As a club we look clueless, rudderless and directionless with no clear leadership from either boardroom or coaching staff. From the outside looking in, it's difficult to escape a feeling of in-grained accepted mediocrity being passed off as merely a transitory "we're a work in progress" ethic.
We need a fresh start, a total fresh start, not just simply changing the coach who then proceeds to further continue the same culture of missed opportunities leading to chronic underachievement and a never ending cycle of a club that cannot maximise its undoubted potential to be one of British Rugby League's great clubs.
We need a man (or possibly even a woman if that's what it will take) with clear ideas of the goals to be set and the knowledge and desire to formulate a plan to achieve those goals, whether it takes one year or ten. A man/woman working with their own trusted people in order to establish a winning mentality and a desire to be the best in all aspects of the club. That leadership and drive has to start from the top downwards (at both boardroom and coaching level).
If such a scenario was to come to pass (say in five years time), then I suspect that very few of the current playing roster will still be wearing black & white, and none of the current coaching staff will picking up a pay cheque at the Kc stadium. Due to the last 7 or 8 years of mistakes piled upon bad calls mixed with wrong turnings built upon some very shaky foundations of repeated errors of judgment, it may take the club years before any real progress is made, and patience is already growing very very thin amongst the faithful.
Who that person is, to revive the fortunes of a rapidly ailing club, I really have no obvious answer (probably because there isn't an obvious answer to the FC conundrum). The best man for the job is currently unavailable. It is widely believed he died some 2000 years ago, nailed to a cross on a hill. This was, apparently, as a direct result of his failure to get the People's Judean Front into the Hebrewian Play-offs. Although, in his defence, he did manage to get the very best out of an under-achieving half-back called Lazarus who seemed to cut a rather ghostly figure on the playing fields of Nazareth.
If we could find such a man, and he could turn water into wine at the KC stadium, then I trust we would show him a little more in the way of hospitality.
