| You started the SMC, we met, and you made me hopeful, you left Hull City for reasons unknown to me, under circumstances best described as "unexplained", you came back and bought Hull FC, you made statements, bordering on promises, about where we would go as a club. Since then you have sacked a successful coach and replaced him with a lesser man, we have players like Mc Donnel, Miller et al not playing, we signed Carvell, who plays infrequently (you have to ponder, if he's any good why didn't Wire keep him), I have followed Hull FC since the early 90's, you took away Sunday games so I can no longer attend. I question your intention, and I never thought I would.
I do not expect a response, but the question stands - where do you see my beloved club in 5 years time?

We are a joke club at the moment, i'd assume AP wont stand for it. But what can he do?

| When Agar was sacked we should have outed every member of the coaching staff including Last. Ideally we should have tried to lose some of the long standing local players as well. A clean break. Gentle should have been allowed to bring in new staff with him and still be in post. McRae was AP's adviser and failed him miserably. The appointment of Radford and Last though is the biggest error because it just perpetuates the culture we've had for years that has failed us so badly.

| If you want to change the whole culture and mentality of the club, its probably best not to employ to carry this out, the very people who have been part of that culture and mentality for the last 6 or 7 years.
Adam Pearson needs to bring in a new coach and allow that coach to bring in his own people. Only then will the club change.

Truth would hurt if it were true in the case of Feka, he's been an inspired signing so far. The issue I have is that he's been under used.

| Cant comment on feka,but surprised with a few of your coaches selections,a couple of mates who are regulars reckon to drop rankin was a shocker.They know he's not the best,but shows promise and does score trys.How can players have confidence when they are in and out of the team,rankin,feka,crookes,miller etc spring to mind !

| For the first time in my life I have lost interest in the club, I have sat through bad times before, but back then we were skint and had a crumbling ground and you could understand why.
It may sound dramatic but I am very concerned about the long-term future of the club, with the club not owning the stadium, our business model is set up on a big crowds & big shop sales, it can't survive paying £500K+ a year to rent the KC and get low crowds and reduced shop sales, and there are very few other ways for the club to make money.
the mood of the fans is the worst I have ever known it, most people around me where indulging in 'Gallows Humour' last night and mocking the team and Radford. Others were fiddling about with their mobile phones. I don't blame people, you have to do something to entertain yourself when the rugby on the field is so dire! it will only take another thousand or 2 fans to get bored and stop going and the club will rack up heavy losses.
I have lost my patience with Pearson, he has made 2 bad choices on the coaching front and for all the hype we are no better on the field than we were during the much maligned Hetherington/Agar days. In fact i'd say the squad is weaker than even our 2011 squad under Agar (still no half backs, Agar's side had stars like Manu, Briscoe & Fitzgibbon, and players like Horne, Yeaman & Whiting where younger and better)
Yes a lot of investment has been made in the youth set up, but we can't simply sit back and wait 2-3 years for this to bear fruit, and with any youth development there is never a guarantee that the players will be good enough. Also if the crowds keep dropping as they are, you wonder if the club can even afford to run an extensive youth set-up.
with the upcoming league re-structure our woes coulden't come at a worse time, instead of having money spinning 'top 8' games the club will be playing the likes of Batley at an empty KC, and with that will come less TV games and less sponsorship money.
If Pearson's reading this the time to act is now, there is still time to win the fans round by spending big on a quality coach and avoid the club heading in to potentially fatal freefall.
