Regardless of whether Gentle should stay or go, the blame for last nights disgrace lays firmly at the feet of the players. Grown men shouldn't need a coach to tell them they need to go out and play with effort and commitment in every game. My 13 year old son would have shown more heart that some of that lot last night.
If it is true that Gentle has lost the dressing room the players who are leading this latest "revolution" should be told they are free to find themselves a club with a coach that they DO want to play for.

It is widely acknowledged that "player power" lost John Kear his job, and for a professional sports club to allow this to happen twice in 7 years would make us more of a laughing stock that we are already.

The humour on here after last night suggests one of two things;

1. The people of Hull have an amazing sense of humour, taking the lessons learned through the generations of hardship, hard living and adversity that have been the economic and social foundations of our city and doing our best to put a positive spin on situations.

2. Youre used to it.

On a more positive note you do now hold the top 2 spots in one 'record'.

Its easy for me to sit up here and look down, but like your cross town cousins should you not be considering the possibility of relegation returning and being a threat if you cant get out of free fall?

We lost a play-off match (get that - play off) albeit by a record score. We played in the Challenge Cup final. We finished 6th in the regular season. Where does free fall fit into this?

But wrong !

Hetherington was always gunning for him.

The players who were "supposed" to be against him have all come out saying what a great coach he was. Cooke even followed him to Wakey.

Quote: jacko1 "All I'm saying is at least name someone who is good enough to replace him that is available and the rovers coach is neither'"


You say that but I have a few small points;

When Sandercock's back was against the wall, his players supported him. They played out of their skin and matched some big teams on a much smaller budget than us.

He plays an expansive style of rugby and it's actually quite entertaining. We are boring.

The margin between good and bad is much smaller at Rovers (one defeat aside) we are so inconsistent we make rice pudding look smooth..

Is Sandercock the man for Hull FC?? No, probably not!!

Would I rather have him in charge than Gentle?? Every single day of the week without a doubt!!

Actually it's not wrong they did turn against him.

Remember the first two games of the 2006 season.

First game we won by a decent score, 2nd game 24 points up at halftime only to come out in the second half to be beaten and look like a different team. Not going to say what I've been told on here but something happened at halftime between the dressing room and the tunnel area and the rest is history shall we say, It was interesting how we suddenly went on an unbeaten run once Kear left and we made the GF

And yet not happy to let the CEO decide whether to sack the coach or not?

Wow!! Can't believe people using the "we got to the cup final" bull $hit, if that is acceptable to those still bringing it up then you should be embarrassed . Worst showing ever, league record worse than last..is that progress ?

Sheldon, Why not choose a play off game?

I think the Wembley loss really took a lot of the belief out of the players and they knew (as did we) that they couldn't get to Old Trafford and win, so what better way to show their disregard for Gentle than by playing like a bunch of no hopers in a knock out game on TV. Wouldn't have had the same impact if it had been a game worth 2 league points
over the course of a season.

Just my imagination maybe, but I can't think of any other excuses for last night's humiliation.

I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011. Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony. I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif



One other thing, If I hear the phrase "the lads have trained magnificently all week, I couldn't have asked for anymore from them" I will scream.
I know it's a standard modern day media soundbite but it's just rubbing salt into gaping wounds.

Personal pride?

Tbh if it's true i'd sack the players involved. I think we can tell who was and wasn't trying.
