Quote: BP1 "My thought is Smith has two games to stay in post (Cup game and a derby). There needs to be a massive reaction to the shambles we witnessed today. Not convinced that reaction will come, though.

Based on Smith's record in British RL over the past 20 years plus, I thought he would be the man to reset the attitude/culture within the club, but something is painfully not right.

Who would be available to take over the reins, I've no idea, there is no-one obvious (and available) that readily springs to mind, but we simply cannot go on like this for much longer.'"


Personally think Smith had had long enough to have made changes for better, unfortunately Smith and Genes impact has been to take the club even further backwards despite his record and experience.

I honestly believe we couldn’t do any worse than let Grix take on the role for the rest of season.

Quote: HU8HFC "There is zero defending Pearson at this point, in my view at least. He was happy to be a sole owner of a club in a minority sport when the going was good, his inability to build upon that and his naivety has well and truly come back to haunt him.

My greatest concern is that we are currently heading in the direction of a Bradford, you can call that exaggeration but the signs are there. No investment, no assets, no on-field results and a slowly diminishing crowd.

As said countless times on other threads, the most frustrating factor is the lack of communication. We have just been pumped by at depleted Leigh side at home (yet again) and what do we get? 'We're wearing the away kit next match, buy it now!'. I don't even consider AP as an intelligent man if you can be so oblivious to the current feelings within the lifeblood of this club.

This is a club at crisis point, whether you like it or not. And ultimately it lies with one person. I am just glad now that people are calling it out for what it is.'"


Good post. Completely agree.

Very to hard/difficult to argue against the points raised as they are a pretty fair summation of the situation and what a concerning number of fans are likely to be thinking.

KR got own ground now bought surrounding land promised Sewell, MKM(who wanted to invest in us) both promised contracts for building on surrounding areas if they invest which they have, James McNicholl former KR chairman Colins lad and multi millionaire ploughed 7 million into KR. All on the KR board plus more sponsors queuing up the get on board but our chairman refuses help and people joining the board and I wonder why, plus as an investor what you investing in??? we don't own anything of note.

KR got lucky by being granted a patch of land around a stadium that hadent been developed for decades. Hudgell tried and failed to sell Rovers for years before that happened.

We cant blame Pearson for lack of assets, he of course bought the club already locked into the MKM deal and theres never been the finances to build our own training ground.

The other factor that isnt directly Pearson's fault is the TV deal, had the game being managed properly we could have been in situation where the TV deal was increasing while the salary cap kept the costs down and clubs could be making a profit. Instead SKY have the game over a barrell and you'd have to be a diehard fan to throw millions at RL.
