So I shouldn't expect the only profitable club in SL, the one with the 2nd highest turnover, the highest ticket prices, the best retail operation and the 3rd highest attendances to match that on the field?
Mediocrity rules then |

So are you saying Hull can never be a top team whilst the current administration is in charge. Is that why we constantly go for teh cheap option when it comes to head coach? |

The one word that sums up Hull.
I've said it before and will say again - whilst the fans settle for mediocrity, the board will do too! |

Because he doens't have the pedigree to command top $$$$'s. if tehy're paying top whack for agar then they're less business savvy than I have them down for.
Do you know any different? |

First there was wisdom
Then there was knowledge
Now there is only information:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_17490.jpg |

I'm sure Jake's right. I'm sure Agar's not on top whack. I'm sure he's being paid less than Peter Sharp and gives better value for money. |

How do you know that?
Maybe if we had a better coach we'd generate more income |

Hey mate, ive followed FC since 1979 and have seen many highs and lows but i will not accept mediocre rubbish which i think is what the club has mostly served up since the grand final appearance. Yes i know we got to Wembley after that but had a very lucky draw all the way through and with a much poorer side too. Performances and player quality went down hill whilst income and profits went up and to rub salt into the wounds our neighbours seemed to go from strength to strength and its only in this time have i been very critical ie during Sharps full and Agars early reign.
That said even i am starting to get the feel good factor back and feel we are finally heading in the right direction. I dont expect anything from this season other than improvement from the last few diabolical ones but for next season i expect some top notch recruitement that can take us to from also rans to serious challengers.
There you go, is that positive enough for you? |

That's right - the fans and sponsors have disappeared in droves with the current coach in charge just as you predicted they would.  |

[quote="Wellsy13":1juz9zgo]To us REAL fans, there's no better feeling than winning competitions. Getting to a final is next. Then a top 6 finish or semi-final appearance. Then I suppose the derby counts as the most important league fixture.
Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.
Quite sad, really!  [/quote:1juz9zgo]
SPOT ON!

2 CC finals and a grand final in the last 5 years... how very mediocre. |
