yet another obsessed mod from the East.

I fully agree with Gentles stance on this and agree its not before time imo

Im not on twitter so does anyone know if any of the players have tweeted anything about the situation ?

Shrewd move from gentle,the seeds of doubt have been sown in the last month,and this stops the natives from getting restless,maybe to write "we must try harder" 50 times may be the next move!

Not seen anything.

Cheers pal

Interesting situation, Gentle has clearly set his stall out I have no doubts it will upset a few players however if the players are not prepared to work under Gentles regime they have the option to leave. My only issue with this is I feel he should not have done this publicly, if disciplinary measures (which they appear to be) are brought into any-ones workplace one would not expect those measures to be shared with all and sundry..
The fact that these measures are in place does not convince me that we will find our form again, for me that has to come with passion and desire from the players, I am not convinced that this public measure will reinstate that passion and desire, time will tell though.

I tend to agree..

Good on Gentle You get treats and privileges if you deserve them .Over the passed few weeks the Hull players
Haven't earned them .They have only earned extra training .Now they will know how us as fans feel .Hope it's lesson learned

Yeamo, Whiting & Lyne all saying how tough training has been lately on Twitter.

It's not a disciplinary measure. A disciplinary measure would have to follow a breach of club rules for a start, and have to follow a formal procedure for second.

Indeed, and as employee's of the club, Gentle has every right to cancel a concessionary day, and he was quite right to inform the fans, it's a case of not only justice being done, but it being seen to be done.

I'd wager those that are saying it's a media/PR stunt have never managed a department that have direct customer expectations placed up on them.

Good glad to hear it

I don't disagree with that tbh, hence the brackets in my post, I think the word punitive measure would have been more appropriate as I doubt any player could be disciplined for a poor performance on the pitch. I have no problems with Gentle putting in a punitive measure however my thoughts remain the same, I do not think it is constructive for all and sundry to be aware of the punitive measure in place, nor am I totally convinced that will reinstate players pride & passion.

Fully back Peter Gentle on this one.

I would hope the players understood the reasoning and accepted the decision. If not they know where the door is.

And we won
