They is no doubt in my mind he will get an extension.

Think they’d be hell on if he did. At a push I can see us only winning the remaining games v Cas and London. That’d be 5 wins all season. And that’s at a push.

At least advertise it and let Smith reapply for it rather than just giving him it, might motivate him to up his game for the rest of this season rather than just presuming he'll be here next year because he's got a long term culture club plan

Im not so sure theyd care in the short term. They are gambling on the clubs youth to somehow step up and become a great side. Time will tell on that front, Pearson comes accross as stubborn and the less the club get, the less he will give the playing squad.

I did hear that the plan was to nurture youth players on a lower end Cap for a few seasons, with the fact we wont be on IMGs radar to be relegated. Whilst the club guide through clearing some debts with the hope in two seasons time we will comfortably be able to spend at the cap and a marquee player.

Dont believe it though, for a start any half decent youngster I think will jump ship if the current trend continues.

He will be gone soon - Change is coming soon
I’m hearing this and I’m not even in Hull

Show us the email.

It’s a big gamble relying on youth, especially for a Hull side. We don’t have a great history of making stars in our first team. Probably single figures how many have become established first teamers for us under Peason. The only ‘star’ being Shaul who we picked up from Skirlaugh.

Im with you on that, we shouldnt be looking to establish a youth set up now, weve being fully professional for over 25 years.

But with no relegation, it wouldnt surprise me to see Pearson go cheap.

The other risk with this plan is will pass sales hold up for these years of low budget, no relegation drama rugby? With added challenge that you can now stream every game for a lower cost than going, and theres 15k empty seats to choose from in the rare event we have a must see gane again.

Oh your preaching to the converted but I think this is Pearsons last throw of the dice.

Will Pearson finally come out and say what’s happening now? Surely Smith is history after that performance

Will he heck

Smith now has a different excuse and or strategy every week

Last week he needed angry players and now he wants players to do what he asks

The default is to ask for more time yet he’s had 18 months and we are at rock bottom

He cannot change this but actually make it worse

Just please resign NOW and do the right thing for the club

Honestly don't see the point in sacking Smith.

Honestly don't see anyone coming in or doing better.

Not with these players. They’ve all being playing for a long time, they know how to pass/catch & tackle. They’re simply choosing not too, can’t let them win the battle against the coach again.
