Hi Rugby Raider, I have only the very best intentions for our club, and the greatest of admiration for our owner AP who saved our club, of this I have no doubt.

But I’ll share a story which I’ve told to a few forum friends privately.

Perhaps naively I had an idea, as the news broke of the new owner at the stadium for the Tigers, and before Acun took over, I offered our services free of charge, to meet with Turkish entrepreneur and welcome him to the stadium and liaise with a possibility of bringing both the clubs together, as we are also tenants, and the possibility of peace breaking out after the Allams tenure.

One of my immediate family, is from Hull, and a pass holder at one time with City & Hull, he’s a university graduate with a degree in criminal psychology, fluent in Turkish, and has an understanding of the Turkish culture, and the Hull culture, a perfect introduction to any possible liaison with AP and Acun, remember this was before the new owner actually took his new position.

So here’s probably the naivety, I emailed our CEO which I’ve done in the past, and offered our services for free, with good intentions.

James reply, went along these lines, if a takeover happens I’ll believe it when I see it, and he would bear it in mind for the future.

Once more I’ll reiterate, we only want the best for our club, but sometimes I feel a disconnect which has happened before in the Shark period, and now as then, actually attending fixtures is no longer fun but a chore.

Good post. Completely agree.

I believe it’s called, return on investment.

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.
