Agree Pete, as you say the ‘certain members’ doesn’t leave much to the imagination as there aren’t many people left that seemingly fit into this category. With a new Head Coach and assistant coming in along with players already exiting it makes me wonder if it will be Grix or someone higher up the chain if there is a takeover rather than simply investment.

Change is and has already been underway so it’s an odd statement to make in admitting the club are failing its supporters be them fans or corporates.

Could the timing be linked to any possible pre cursor of confirmation/completion of a takeover?

Ones things for sure it’s going to be an interesting week or weeks ahead to see how this pans out. Clearly Myler is a very frustrated DOR at present.

Wonder if there is still some substance to the Thorman rumour?

For a generally ambiguous statement, that little hand grenade of a comment was quite pointed.

But clearly, certain members of our "organisation are not delivering on their roles, and ultimately we need to make a change"

That part of the statement is key!

How many were at the match on Saturday Einstein?

Let's try to look at this latest development from a positive angle.

Firstly, Myler has come out and decided to say something, to attempt to communicate with his audience (the fanbase) which is a start at least. I do wonder if yesterday's horror show (the latest, of course, in a long line) brought forward this communique by a week as he felt the need to act now rather than in the week after this horror show has finally ended.

Secondly, Myler acknowledges that we have got ourselves into a bit of a pickle (to put it mildly) and that our current state is due to a number of errors over a number of years and not one simple mistake enacted out last year (which would be nice and easy to rectify it that was to be the case). Acknowledging that a problem exists is the first step towards addressing that problem and then to, hopefully, solving the issue. Although as our problems are many and multi-faceted this will not be a quick fix by any stretch.

The impression I got from reading that statement was that Myler was choosing his words carefully, possibly due to 'politics' within the club which, for fairly obvious reasons, none of us are aware of. He may, during his short time at the club, have identified the areas of most concern where we are failing especially badly and there are plans in place to address those areas as soon as is practically possible. But as a senior member of the organization he has a duty to all concerned that this process is carried out with due diligence and in the correct manner.

I know some on here would prefer him to come out 'shooting from the hip' but the real world doesn't work like that. Things are bad enough with us without the club starting to wash its dirty linen in public, that won't help anyone. Myler has a duty to the people who work for him as well as we, the fanbase.

So, Myler has acknowledged we have problems and he acknowledges that we, the fanbase, are unhappy with our situation. It's step one on the road back to where we all wish to be. It's what his answers and solutions are to our problems that will determine whether we are on the correct road back or we are simply about to wander down yet another blind alley here.

Apologies if all this sounds a bit 'club-apologist' to some on here, but as I said earlier I get the impression Myler is having to play 'politics' here. Battles aren't always won by a full-frontal attack, sometimes they're won by cunning and stealth.
I think there are some things he would like to say, but feels he can't and I suspect that will be bound to irritate some people.

I am no 'club-apologist', trust me I am just as disgusted and frustrated at how this club has been allowed to drift ever downwards and backwards to where we find ourselves this weekend as much as everyone else on here.
We all have different ways of expressing how we feel about how the club has let us down so badly over so many years, some are forceful, some are cynical, some look for the smallest positives to cling onto, but we all have no choice but to hope that Myler (or someone else at the club) starts making some correct decisions and starts making them right now or our club will continue to go backwards ever closer to the abyss where oblivion waits for this great club.

Agree.

I do wonder if Myler came into club expecting his role to be a rugby-based one and instead has found that the root causes of our problems lie beyond simply appointing a new coach and acquiring a few players for the coach to work with.
Hence, he's now finding himself 'playing politics' (to use my phrase above) and this statement is a part of what's going on behind the scenes, which of course none of us are privy to.

Like you say, interesting few weeks ahead for us, but then when isn't it interesting around our unique crackpot club!

All it needs now is for Adam Pearson to do an interview on Radio Humberside and everything will be rosy again and all the deluded will be saying well he fronted up lets give him another chance.
As for Myler he has really said nothing apart from this

But certain members of our organisation are not delivering on their roles, and ultimately we need to make a change
Well i hope you include yourself there Myler as whether you like or dislike Grix he has hardly been given the tools to work with. Poor player loans and injury prone players not replaced it seems to me he has been hung out to dry and looks likely now he will be the scapegoat and leave after the final game .
Hope daddy in Law is proud of you

I do wonder if this is down to AP leaving at half time? It would be a bizarre situation for a DoR to call out an owner, however after the weeks/months of abject performances it does make you question why now?

I think we could see some changes on the backroom staff from next week. Ellis still has to start his official role and Davidson is changing job title too.

Possibly announce a new S&C?

Not expecting anything major to happen.

The statement came from the club's website and email, rather than say Myler talking to Hull Live or tweeting it, you wonder who gives the final sign off in statements like that, if I was the media contact id be double checking it was signed off before pressing send!INOUT

It's a weird statement. Maybe they're just going to pay some players off. If it's grix, why hasn't he binned him long before now? Or could be he told pearson to feck off at half time yesterday.

I can't see that the is much scope for major change. We hardly know anyone at the club other than the players, main coaches, pearson and myler. Maybe airlie bird got caught being blown by the girl bird mascot

I'm really struggling to work out what you actually want to happen?
Can you lay out what sequence of events would satisfy you?
At the moment it feels like you want a magic wand to be waved to make all alright again and anything less than that isn't good enough

What certain posters want is already happening - Hull failing.

They wouldn't be bothering to log in and post if things were going well.

Just glad I discovered the Ignore button this year.

Grix has to go along with Sao Fash and Lane

Did Adam really leave at half time or is this just a rumour
I have a lot to say if he genuinely did leave at half time

I’m sure they’ll eventually buy the club, maybe buying a stake is just dipping a toe in the water. It looks obvious to me Myler is calling the shots regardless.

I think we’d all prefer a full complete clean break with how badly decisions have been made recently but if the investment allows the club to be ran without the recent penny pinching then it’s a massive start.
