The point the Brother is trying to make I think is that we currently dont have enough people running our club that are passionate about HULL FC.

Of course they have to have business sense to go with the passion (although even in that area our guys seem to be lacking!), but with a real love for our great club aswell.

Without doubt half of the rumours that have been flying about lately could easily be put to bed if the club had communicated with us, but to be fair to Mr Rule he has finally got the message and has begun doing this through the club site.

when??

Im just the average fan off the street but what i do have is a prolonged love and passion for hull fc that will never waifer but i would also spend every spare penny i had to buy as many shares as i could if we were able to give the club back to us the fans with bigger buissnessmen putting a larger proportion up its just finding them

same time McCrae ditched his?

I dont doubt that we are all passionate fans but that is not what a club needs in directors.All this talk of businessmen putting money in has been going on for years,where are they.The fact is Plummer mentioned years ago that the club was available.Either there is no one out there or anyone wanting to purchase is hoping to do it at bargain prices.
To just expect someone will come in and act as a saviour is living in cloud cuckoo land.There is a lot of negativity around at the minute but much of it is being caused by problems outside of the club.
Whether you admire the board or not you should remember they were the ones that saved the club. Our club is one of only a few that are run at some kind of a profit and is therefore in a stronger position than most of our rivals to continue.If the present board walk away there is a very strong probability the club would fold and even if it didnt there is no guarantee any new administration would be as good never mind better.

We saved them every bit as much as they did us as that was there only way of getting there money back which they had put in

good comment, they may have come like knights in shining armour over the hill but they were in just as much crap as we were. the difference being they were 750k in debt, us as fans had no financial commitment, just passion and love for our club and it was the directors of the hull club that were responsible for any debt at that time. if the hardcore fans hadnt got behind the club at that time then richo could possibly still be here now trying to regain his investment, who knows? luckily weve had a good couple of years of success. the obvious argument for the current board is that they will say they were bailed out by receiving 2 sums of sky monies at the time of the merger and that they were merely looking for another club to take on the players contracts. at the end of the day no one can argue that the merger saved our club, is was the best offer at the time. no local business men came forward to take the club off the late roy and the rest of the directors. the disheartenin thing is the way they have cut the fans off from the club and everything at the moment seems to be negative coming from the club. it really does beg the question, do they really have hull fc at heart?

Thought you never merged !!!!!!

We amalgamated, there is a difference. Just ask Easty

Nah, the 39 life pass holders did. As told by Goldsmith many a time when she was around

well he still had them at the end of last year

I'll get shot down for this but here goes!

The main problem with your club is not income but revenue and the sooner you get rid of all the hangers on,jobsworths and carpet baggers the better.
The late Roy Waudby always maintained that the game could not stand it being full time. Subsequent events have proved him right.

Get rid of your C.E.'s, Marketing Gurus,Press Officers,and all the rest of the deadwood and you would be debt free within 2 to 3 years. Get back to the days when people who loved the club were involved who would concentrate more on the team on the field not the one in the office.
