IMHO - he has never had the correct help and guidance during his tenure; perhaps because he didn't believe he needed it, either through obstinacy, or hubris? When he did, it became a succession of bad choices.

He has never struck me as naive, so it is somewhat baffling that he seems to have been led down the garden path a number of times whilst at the club. From the outside it as if he has learned little about the world and nature of RL since taking over from (and being misled by) the Hetheringtons.

I do not demand he departs, as who knows what may follow; and he certainly didn't get into this to trash his own reputation and lose money: but it has seemed that the platform was being (Gentle era) or partially had been laid (Wembley wins) for longer term stability and success, only to mess it all up in short order.

However, by far the biggest error has been the yawning chasm allowed to build between the club and the fan base, with the chickens now coming home to roost. How much of that is down to AP who knows, but as owner he should be acutely aware that the fans are the only real asset that Hull FC has.

We were already well on the downward side of the slippery slope

Yep he started it, should have been sacked for playing Fash at hooker when we had Litten.

Did everything but play Litten. Washy, Hadley and Fash all had more of a crack

Yup, and that missing piece of the jigsaw, that experienced head coach, definitely finished the job good and proper .

All are responsible.
