Are there any prominent people with a true passion for Hull FC, with a significant amount of cash- significant enough to put a lot in in the short term to see little return, or indeed a loss- in the financial situation we all live stepping forward and putting their hand up?
Will the real passionate investor please stand up?'"

And that might encourage buyers to come in with an offer.'"

Or they might think - bunch of idiots - grade A licence, play off place, decent crowds, 3 finals in recent years.
Just an alternative viewpoint like.

| Quote: The Brother "There is enough ill feeling towards the board at this momment in time, the time is now right to ask for some answers from them
KH- What has happened to the share issue that was [ipromised[/i when you arrived from Gateshead - Why use the word promise then nothing of the such was promised? Why ask KH this when it was Shane Richardson who said he would [iconsider[/i a share issue. As has been mentioned many times, unless you get ONE person to come and buy a majority there would be no point at all. Infact it would actually be more disruptive in reality to have a small number of dissident shareholders.
KH-Why will you not speak to the fans - When was the last time Mr Hood, Mr Caddick or Mr McManus actually spoke to their fans. That’s what the CEO is supposed to do
KH-Are you willing to put your shares up for sale at a realistic price - Why would anyone want to sell shares in THEIR company unless they were going to make money out of it?
KH-Why is everything done on the cheap - Proof? This gets bounded about all the time on this forum from members apparently in the know on how much people get paid when in reality its all guess work. Irrespective of what you hear, NO club actually works at full cap as clubs will always have a little leeway for unplanned loanees (Broughton for example). How do you know what Agar, Crooks, et al get paid? You don't so its a rubbish question. Admittedly if they are paid a lot, then its still al poor management decision, but there is only the individuals concerned will actually know this.
KH-Our recruitment both on coaches and players is poor - Full agree, but that’s not a question
KH-how many more times is our clubs name going to dragged through the mud - What do you honestly expect to get by asking her that? her to say, never or her to say, "Oh, actually we have a couple of belters lined up for later in the season which will literally leave you open mouthed". Rubbish question
[sizeYou are the custodian of our great club, you are not wanted anymore
Give the club back to the people that have a love for the club and who will not fleece the fans[/size'"
I like you love Hull FC, but if you are going to post such rubbish and try and let on that you think you are helping the club, then don't bother. If you genuinely asked what you have posted you would be laughed out of sight.
Give the club back to the people????? The club NEVER belonged to the people. In my supporting lifetime, prior to the current regime, there was Lloyd = closed shop. Prior to him, Waudby's / Kirkwood = closed shop!
She is the major custodian on the basis SHE OWNS THE CLUB AND ITS HER'S TO DO AS SHE WANTS. This is something some on here find it hard to swallow and comprehend. Unless Someone matches her valuation then she will not budge, and you can hardly blame her for not wanting to sell her livelihood without making a profit.
And if you really think that prices would change should someone other than a Euromillions quadruple rollover winner take charge then you really need to get in the real world.
You may think I am having a go at you personally , but i am not. But posting things like "promised" and "fleecing the fans" is just plain sensationalism and wrong.
A more realistic question would be,
How long will the management continue to accept substandard performances from the players and coaches, which will result in lost revenue?
When the point comes what action will you take?
Will there be some acceptance of responsibility of management failings (Thackrey, salary cap, Webster, failure to secure overseas signings etc), the president being set by Mr Plummers resignation following the Paul Cooke affair?
Make it constructive, not a personal vendetta.

How about asking these questions to the ones who own the MAJORITY of the shares.....and it aint Kath.

We all bring replica shirts, our boots and a couple of quid subs. I can occasionally catch a rugby ball, can I play full back?

I wouldn't sell for £1.5m if I was her either.

Good post that.
Your right it is very important that the right questions are asked if the opportunity arises, which it wont.

| There has been a lot said about Kath Hetherington and most of it gets said when things are not going right on the park, maybe clouding some peoples judgment.
Putting all personal vendettas aside i have always found her to be a fair woman and have spoken to her on many occasions. I am not here to defend her in any shape way or form but some people on her have very short memories.
Not only did Kath take over a dying club with all its debts but she turned it round into a profit making enterprise. On top of that the club plays in a state of the art stadium, has a fantastic player development program and very strong links with the local community. The merchandising and branding of the club is excellent and they are innovative in many areas of their business.
We have all heard about the Mally Walker offer to buy up her shares but does anybody seriously think he would be any better?? What experience has he got of running a SL club?? Rugby League is a niche market and i would take experience over devotion any day of the week.
Kath is the right person to take the club forward at this moment in time as there is nobody with anything better to offer and she deserves to see it through.
All IMO of course

It may be a niche market, but its a business also. Its about identifying revenue streams, i.e with the merchandising. Thats why we have a merchandise manager, to oversee that. We have community development managers, managers in every area that pull together as a collective for the owner. If that owner has a passion for the club then they will know when an area is failing and change it. You dont necessarily need the "rugby league" experience, you surround yourself with people that are, but esure that those people are the right people

So he offered less than the minimum valuation based on shares and debts?
Why did he think that might be acceptable? Was he willing to negotiate at all?
