| Quote fcimp="fcimp"What do people want? All our previous boards have done is rack up debt? All boards/people make mistakes, do people genuinely believe there are people out there that would come to our club and do a better job? I think we should be grateful we have a club to support and one with a future, thanks to the people who are currently running the club.'"
Exactly! We make annual profits, we have a talented youth system coming through and we also have a great squad on paper. I know "on paper" means nothing but if the board pulled their finger out and got rid of Agar then maybe we could challenge for top 4 finish and play decent rugby. |

Transer fees in the last 3 years are profits from the club,
Dont forget we paid 2 knacking fees for golden boy Tansey!
Macca is young british and local, but he'd cost more than Agar, and he wouldnt be a yes man (not saying i want him BTW)
We as a Club have income at anywhere between £4.5 and £5 mill per year.
If you believe them £1.6mill goes on players wages, I'd like to see where the rest goes! Please dont waste your time saying stadium costs, stock costs admin staff etc.
£3+ mill is a lot though....... |

We ALL hoped he would be a success, its good that the club where willing to give a young British coach a chance, but it aint worked, he hasnt been a success, he has failed miserably and the board should have the guts to admit their mistake and get rid, |

I'm fairly happy in the main with the job the board do but I hope that they do the right thing as far as the Head coach is concerned and replace Agar with the right man rather than with a cheap option.
I can't really complain about the way the rest of the club is run.

| Quote jehull="jehull"Our playing style and our league position comes from bad coaching IMO as I believe we have a squad on paper that SHOULD be in the top 6 at least or even top 4. I just think it's the coaching and the way we play are letting us down. Yeah the board are in control of who is in charge of the club but the Agar situation is the only excuse I have for having a slight anger other Hethertington and Rule etc. For some people they dislike them for other reasons. If so what???'"
Imo the board lack ambition,if they wanted success they would of got Agar out a long time ago and not even renewed his contract.They would of got someone in with a winning mentality.The board have done great off field but that won't last long the way things are going with the way the team is coached.Fans are really getting fed up with whole situation now and if the board don't act fast and rectify the problem then all the good work they have done will be lost. |

Everyone goes on about a "YES MAN". Where did you get evidence that suggests the board dictate everything??? And if they did do you think Agar would still be there. If I was coach and they wanted me in charge but told me to do everything I would tell them to get stuffed and walk out instead of being a "YES MAN" winning less then 50% of games. I wouldn't want to look stupid and dent reputation. |

I'm guessing most would put up with it for 80 grand a year |

There's basically no one with any rugby league background in the boardroom.
Other than kath, none of the other owners were even RL fans before they bought in to gateshead/Hull. rule is an ex RU player with a marketing background. sutton and flatman aren't rugby people and have no clout anyway. Which leaves kath. I know she has been around teh game for a number of years and might have some knowledge, but she sure as hell doesn't know how to turn off field success into on field success

| Quote fcimp="fcimp"I don't have any major issues with the board except one, they have done a lot more positive things for us than negative, if they want to make money, fine, all fans really want, ultimately, is to see the team do well on the pitch. I don't buy into this "the board picks the team" nonsense although they may have steered Agar towards certain bigger signings but i think that's common in all sporting teams. The issue i have is one that has been mentioned on here already, they never seem to invest in a top quality coach and they seem very reluctant to see Agar leave which is baffling.[u I know a lot of people say they don't want to spend money but if that is the case why have they spent what must be £150 to £200k on transfers?[/u'"
Not often I agree with you but that was my thought on it. They will spend money on transfers which these days is non existant but wont pay out for a decent coach. Westerman may become a club legend but £150,000 plus Westermans wages would have surely tempted a top coach from any country. One man doesnt make a team but a top coach does. |
