This isn't another post to beat the club with but what the hell is actually going on with fan engagement as I don't see anything at all? It's like they don't even acknowledge we exist. Never have I known this club so self alienated as it is now which is strange as Myler said it was one of his key priorities. I want to re-engage with the club but they are only giving me reasons not do so. I'm honestly baffled as to what the hell is going on throughout the club tbh

I think we’d all like clarification on the financial/ownership/investment situation but if the process is ongoing and there’s non disclosure agreements there’s not much can really be said.

Same with signings, they can’t announce signings that we’ve not made yet and releasing information on targets could weaken the position in negotiations.

If there is genuinely money available and a will to get a competitive squad together I’d just sooner they get on with it and get some quality in. Words mean nothing really.

Two completely different subjects. This one is about the fact that it seems no one at the club actually seems to care about the fan experience. It's almost like there isn't a single person at the club who gives a - this could explain atrocious performances and could explain the so called cancer. The club is on a knife edge and if it doesn't get things right fast I can see it going bust within two years

I think two years is an over statement myself and I concur with your sentiments but surely its basic marketing here we all are shelling out every month for passes merch etc. turning up and trying to look happy then just when we all thought at least it can't get any worse we have to endure as bad a performance as we have seen since the 70's and even back then at least the players tried. Whilst at the other side of the City things go from strength to strength (good luck to The Dobbins for at least showing some enterprise ... ) yet we hear nothing at all to encourage us. However no doubt the letters will be coming asking for us to subscribe again and many of us will ....but for the first time in years a lot I speak to won't. If we have an investor waiting in the wings surely we deserve to hear about it or at least how it's progressing to at least give us a bit of encouragement. If not then tell us how it is and we'll all rally around as only the FC faithful can, but this hiatus while we sit there enduring bad performance after bad is soul destroying! It's our club, we love it and in the end owners CE's Coaches and players come and go but the fans are the only thing that is constant in all this. And.... without us they are stuffed... baffling!

Silence? What silence? They emailed me last week saying shirts are half price, there's 3 posts on Facebook about discounted merchandise, and they've said there's "unmissable ticket deals" for the cas game...not sure what's unmissable about it though unless they're paying you to go

That's not the club announcing anything or directly engaging with fans though is it?

All very fair points and ones you'd be hard pressed to argue against.

As Seb said though, considering Myler has spoken openly about the clubs clear lack of engagement with its fans and saying along the lines of repairing/resolving this as one of the priorities it has once again gone disappointingly quiet on that front.
I myself found it particularly disappointing and just another kick in the teeth that there has been no apology or statement from Myler or Pearson about rank embarrassing performance of Saturday, which again just drives that wedge between club and fans even further.
I get/understand there will be stuff going on in the background that isn't for public knowledge etc but it doesn't mean that the club can't spare some time to engage properly with its fans and I don't count bits in the HDM about possible appointments as other than marketing for merchandise etc but other than the open training session there still seems very little effort to engage with its fansbase.

At the start of Mylers arrival it all sounded very promising but it's all now just starting to seem like the same old story just a different story teller..........or maybe I'm just now just so hacked off with the past few years I'm verging on the point of I'm just no longer interested anymore especially if the club don't genuinely care about the fanbase other than as a revenue stream.

Ever thought the whole investment thing is a con by Ritchie Richs father in law to get him a well paid insider job at Hull given his link to Leeds and obvious competition.
Now we know why he has made such p--s poor recruitment

I've said before that its awful. No engagement at all. Pumping stuff out in Facebook and twitter isn't engaging with your fans, it's a one way street

At least when there was all the disquiet at Hull City due to losing a lot of players and not replacing them at the time,to his credit the Turk was on his plane and held an open fan forum.
Thats all Pearson has to do because most of the FC fan base are gullible and believe anything he says.
Has to happen if he wants to sell more than 5000 passes for next season

What does ‘fan engagement’ look like?

Whenever Pearson talks to the media people either say what he’s said is a lie or don’t want to hear what he’s said as it’s the ‘same old’.

Myler gave an interview recently.

I’m not trying to protect the club, I’m genuinely interested in what people would like?
