| Quote Standee="Standee"Quote Standee="Dave K."To be fair if any fans know about a chairman who interferes to much and makes decisions behind the coaches back about signings then it will be Rovers fans.'"
Indeed. moreover, if AP had a conversation with LR and said "Lee, I wan't to change the culture at this club, the customers are fed up of sub-standard attitudes on the part of some players, with that in mind I'd like them all back training before Christmas and to not give the impression that any one of them (whether they are from overseas or were born in HRI),get preferential treatment; if you could see to it then that would be great"
then I'd say AP is doing what organ grinders always do, they call the tune.
He's not dictating tactics, other than to say he wants an equal focus on attack and defense, he's not signing players, he is doing what any CEO does, setting a vision and a set of criteria for success.'"
This.
Its common practice for an owner/chairman/board of a company to give its Management/Managers clear and defined goals to achieve. How the Mangement then go about is up to them as they are employed to carry out the task of achieving the goals set. They might even shock horror sit and discuss what is a realistic goal privately with the owner/chairman/board.
I will give my backing to the club, AP & Radford and at least give the new set up a chance. It may well turn out to be a great call by AP time will tell.

You can hardly comment on Pearsons edicts when your own chairman lies on a weekly basis:

"I am stepping down"
Not to mention practically fellating Larvin who turned out to have pockets as deep as a spider's pi55 puddle.'"
Masturbation and fellatio all in one post, Des really is giving you a tilt this morning isn't he?

If you're going to quote somebody, at least get it right.

Hudgell hardly made a comment on larvin as we all suspected larvin may not be all he made himself out to be.
Your chairman had 6 internationals in the bag and another 3 we will get,lets see if we can remember some of the names,rangi chase,benji marshall,keith galloway,even british players gave you the shove,amor knocked you back to stay at wakey and did it again this year,bateman knocked you back to stay at bradford,still limoux grizzlies wilted and let you have paleaaesina. "In gentle we trust" are you sure? The top 2/4 beckons.

Do you ever write on your own board?? Swear you are annoying.
End of the day, yes we may set ourselves top4 targets. At least we can say that.

I can't knock you for acknowledging you are tool.
Back on topic though. Why is targeting 4 more wins than last season so outlandish.

We're targeting top 4, and you're targeting top 8. Both may seem unlikely to the opposing set of fans, but both are ultimately achievable. Super League isn't as strong as we all like to think it is.
Just because you was a one man team with Dobbo, I still think with a partisan crowd at home games, you can scrape the eight. If our young kids equal or improve upon last year - there's no reason we can't scrape 4th.

But that's where your wrong. It is achievable. Yes we may of not finished 4th but that's our owners ambition and since it's his club i think we all can think that also. We have the squad of achieving it IMO but the problem with us is consistency. We beat the good teams an lose to the lesser teams in a way.
As for winning trophies, you need to be in finals to win them which in fact we have been to 4 finals in 8 years and won once. Can't say same for yourselves. Or maybe i should say MAJOR finals.

| The top/big 5 clubs are practically set in stone for the foreseeable future, their squads are too strong, the rest of us are fighting it out for 6th and so on.
