| appalling really when we were all supposed to invest in the club believing that the administrators were doing all they could to to ensure we got value for money. As far as we are all concerned the expression 'blind faith' comes to mind. I have to say after coming on here to criticise the appointment originally I stand corrected and I feel that Myler has done a really good job so far.

| AP and Clark, especially AP has a lot to answer for to allow the demise off the field. Especially signing off on signings such as Josh Reynolds. Shows he was just trying to sell passes.

| Pretty damming that article, would expect that set up at an amateur club, not a super league side.
Thankfully, it looks like things have improved significantly, it shouldn’t however be forgotten, and is hopefully something that is raised at the forum on Wednesday as to how things were allowed to get that bad.

| Is anyone really surprised? We've been cutting back in every area for years now. Idiots in charge making poor decisions. Salford are an example of spending less on the playing squad and more on the off field side but still ending up with a better product.
Do we even have a marketing department? You have to invest to move forward

| We've definitely been penny wise, but pound foolish for sometime.
On reading those anecdotal examples you have to say Grix can have some latitude for the for difficulties of his task.
At least running parallel with these types of reports now are the soothing tones of the new organ-grinder.

Hull FC are closing in on fresh investment as plans are put in place for what is hoped can be the start of a bright new era.
Serious About RL understands that Thirkill and another unnamed potential investor visited the club’s training hub at the University of Hull earlier this week, taking a look around Hull’s new facilities and catching a glimpse of pre-season training.'"

I believe the other unnamed investor is Derek Oliver. The owns Infoserve, Thirkill is on the board there too

| Laughable that the club thought it was saving money cutting free breakfasts (with a kitchen on site at the Uni the cost of that would have been peanuts) while continuing to hire and fire unsuitable overseas players on big salaries.
I've said it before and I say it again Pearson needs to go, he's led this club into disarray. It'll be a waste of Thirkhills cash if he's the one spending it. Better sports CEO's out there for what would be a big salary.

| You get the feeling something is going to happen soon.
Wonder why anybody would put money into a RL team?
Unless you have land you can build social housing on.

Nobody sensible would as even the 'sucessful' clubs like Saints are losing cash. But Thirkhill says he has been watching the game since 1968 so like most of us has got bitten by the bug. And given there seems to be little to no chance of ever buying the Rhinos maybe realises it's a rare chance to own a club
