To be honest I don't think Dan Tomlinson had shied away from saying it as it is and at times has for me been brutally honest about all aspects of the club, from the owner, Coaches, players etc. For me in the most part he says it as it is and has rarely sugar coated anything. In a season that has been one embarrassment after another its hardly surprising may of his articles are almost copy and paste as nothing much has changed, other than the player coming and goings. He has at times looked to highlight any positives he could but lets be honest these aren't exactly in plentiful supply so a little artistic license at times so to speak is understandable.
Realistically if it weren't for Dan we'd likely hear very little in terms of the club as they are still very much (for me anyway) lacking the connection to the fans despite Myler stating that was on his list of priorities to rectify.

It does seem strange that myler said one of the things he needed to do was to bring the club closer to the fans yet he's done nothing at all about it

Obviously James Clark was the media man and now he's gone nobodies doing it

If Myler did a few more interviews would we just criticise him for saying the same thing over and over?

Dan actually touched on this in the latest addition on the podcast him and Matt Shaw host regarding the difficulty of his position, he is first and foremost a fan, and from his tone on the podcast every time i have listened it is clear that it is hurting him just as much as it hurts us. However it is important to remember that this is his profession, and that maintaining a relationship with the club is vital for his work.

Having said this, it does get very repetitive reading essentially the same article week in week out, in recent weeks his articles with players all revolve around the hard pre-season to come. I get the impression that the players simply do not care about the rest of this season, as reflected on last friday's performance, which again, is completely unacceptable.

For Myler, I think he has spoken well and updated probably as much as he can. As mentioned above, it really does feel like this club just wants to get the next 10 days out the way and start on a clean slate, if from there we see more of an effort to bridge the gap between the club and it's supporters we will have to wait and see.

Just been on hull live and our “coach” has nearly put me to sleep with his assessment.Tomlinson has laid into the team and club as a whole again but he doesn’t criticise Grix at all.Im all for the shower of e that are tarnishing the great shirt getting it but why isn’t Grix??
