I have my own Business, and that is what FC is (a business, albeit, community based) and if that business was failing, the last thing I would do would be to blame my clients, which is what the fans essentially are.

IMHO, a business is only as good as it's staff, from top to bottom, so if you employ turnips, performance will be at turnip level and the business will develop or otherwise accordingly. If you employ quality, by and large, output will match the production quality of the staff.

However, the production of a higher quality staff can be undermined by poor management, however well motivated.

This is were the problem lies at FC I think, we have suffered from a lack of quality on the playing roster in recent times, but when that has been addressed, we've undermined ourselves by under cutting at the management level. Obviously the trick is to get it right, achieve this and the fans will support the club, consistently get it wrong and a percentage of the fans will naturally look to spend their limited disposeable income elsewhere, for the club to blame these fans on this basis, probably says more about the club management than anything else.

What is clear is that it is last chance saloon time, and IMHO, the fans should now rally to support the club we all love, the alternatives do not bear thinking about.

Not quite 100% accurate.

If a company has distributable, accumulated retained earnings, it can pay dividends even if it made a loss in the accounting period.

Largely irrelevant as hull gave huge accumulated losses so dividends cannot be paid until they are wiped out

No editing. Just a typical response by some whose glass is permanently empty, let alone at the half mark.

Wish I'd put a at the end of the post now.
