| Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"It is bleating and it's boring. Neither you or I know what the drop in income is, any more than we know what the drop in costs is over the same period but I do remember you telling us a while back that we only made a small operating loss in 2014. Crowds aren't significantly down since then but we seem to have shed a fair amount of cost in salaries so I'd assume it's reasonable to expect a no dissimilar financial performance for 2015.
Maybe you can give your professional view on the additional savings being made on the academy and the increase in SKY income for 2015 or doesn't your myopia allow you to bring any balance to your posts?'"
Merchandise sales were reckoned to be around ~£1ma year. Given the drop off in attendances (reported and/or actual), I’d be surprised if that has been sustained. Costs associated with the SMC are increasing year on year. We had an overseas camp this season, but didn’t the year before. We’ve pushed the U19s/academy to 3rd this year, perhaps that hasn’t been cheap. So if pass sales are down vs 2014, actual/reported attendances are down, sponsorship is down, tenancy/training costs are up, it doesn’t take much extrapolation to see any Sky benefit cancelled out. Reducing the number of staff will help balance the books in the short term, of course, but may compromise the club’s effectiveness in several areas. I don't think the academy savings will kick in until next season. |

| Quote OmneFC="OmneFC"In terms of the "Hull Fc" brand, it is very damaging to say that you are in financial difficulty. This would be a particularly risky move if it wasnt true, a key problem would be that you might struggle to attract sponsors who wouldnt want to be associated with a sinking ship.
I doubt that any owner of a business with a noticeable brand would lie about financial insecurity for a potential gain - it just doesnt work that way.'"
I agree. |

| Quote Tinkerman23="Tinkerman23"Completely understand what your saying, its a good post. But I don't think its what Pearson as done, what people get sick of, is him implying that he as financial problems, followed by talk of season passes etc. Don't get me wrong, I do actually appreciate what Pearson as put into Hull fc, and continues to do. And I will continue to support. Just getting a bit tired of him and the ways he goes about things. And he does bring a lot of it on himself IE His stupid blind faith in Radford (Apologies to those who think ive just turned this into another Radford BASHING thread)
I'll continue my support of Hull fc and so will most! [uI don't need guilt tripping into supporting the club [/uby Pearson and Mrs B'"
I agree with this post, apart from the last bit. No one's guilt tripping anyone. If someone is 100% convinced that withdrawing financial support of the club at this time is completely in the best interests of the club, how or why would they feel guilty? That makes no sense.  |

| Quote Doom&Gloom Merchant="Doom&Gloom Merchant"Reading what Mrs B is actually saying for a moment...
She's not saying Pearson is blameless for that the situation the club finds itself in, or that this is somehow the fans' fault.
She's saying that whatever has gone on in the past, whatever errors or fk ups that have been made, the club is where it is, which financially isn't looking too pretty. Her view is that it's more beneficial to the club to back it and support it and ensure that the club have the funds to compete, than it is to withdraw your money and support. [uNobody is being told what to do with their money and time, that's their prerogative[/u.
My view is that the club finds itself in this position partly due to Pearson and partly due to the old regime. Basically for the last 8 years or so there's been a string of dire decisions. The general fan apathy started all the way back during the Agar years after 2005-6 looked so promising. Our youth system pretty much dried up from under investment under the old regime. Pearson has made some massive errors with recruitment, he's been arrogant, mouthy and taken some really bad advice. All this has contributed to the situation and here we are.
We're all disappointed, we know we should have seen a lot more success of the back of 2005 & 2006, and we know we should be in a much better situation than we are at the moment. But, I think it's always better to look forwards than it is to look backwards.'"
Completely agree. |

Yes, let's We were having a discussion, but throw away comments like "all someone else's fault" aren't contributing anything, just snide, pointless remarks. |

More cost cutting apparently.
The club have decided that no players with double barreled names will be offered contracts. Something to do with the printing cost on the back of the shirt. |
