Quote: Dave K. "Were are the club going to get the 300k plus it would take to get Powell.

Radford has until Easter IMO.'"


I agree with Ullfc on Powell, he's been fantastic, but he has a long deal at Cas I believe and would not be cheap. That's assuming he'd want to come.

Who else is out there that's available, I'm not sure. Bringing in an Aussie assitant comes with no guarantees - some have been great, some awful.

A few months ago many were wanting Brian Smith after his Wakey side showed an improvement, I doubt they'd be saying the same now.

It's difficult.

It would be another gamble, but Pearson's shelled out £100K for players like Sneyd and Lynch before, and I think a decent coach would bring more rewards.

£300K is only an extra £40 or so needed from our regular support of 8K people. I can't speak for all of our fans but i'd quite happily give the club an extra £40 to see some decent rugby for a change!

Maybe you could get Bumpy to set up a crowdfunder page?

Quote: Dave K. " Lots of these anti Radford fans wanted B Smith as our new coach despite not coaching first team rugby for years. Has done a really nothing at Wakey and not improved them despite being able to bring in 9/10 new players.'"

How many of the 'anti Radford' fans would that be then, 2, 3? I've certainly made no mention of BS as being our new coach so that's one off your imaginary masses!

DAB, you really have nothing to add to a discussion do you except more cancerous claptrap.
If I had the money I'd buy Pearson out in a heartbeat, in many aspects he is worse than the Hetherington's, led fans up the garden path with his spin, deceit & lies and sold us short several times over.
But carry on with your pathetic trolling attempts..[size.DAB[/size

I was only suggesting that you'd be the man to get in touch with. Galvanising the masses to reach a common goal is your forte isn't it?

Quote: david483 "Maybe time for a merger? Would be a good team imo, you could have the FC bit in the name and we could have the KR bit, Hull Kingston Rovers FC! Oh no wait, thats what we are already called, never mind come over to a proper rugby league ground with an atmosphere that befits our great game, not soccer! Pearson loves soccer!'"

1) I paid for my seat and had 2 other family commitments yesterday.
2) We've done this already and you commended my financial support of the club. Keep "trotting out that line" though love. icon_lol.gif

I will be buying a pass. But, only people will heads buried firmly in the sand are unable to see that the OP's title of this thread, is probably not far from the truth. People are more apathetic than at any point I can remember in time. Yes, we can all put up or shut up and support the club, which is an admirable position. It is a position not shared though by more and more and more people.

He has some fair points, but the title of the thread is way over the top. Would a club that is on it's death bed go out and spend all that money on bringing in 3/4 top players?

I really do think next season is a really crucial one in the clubs history, there is plenty to be positive about at the club, but now is the time to get it right on the pitch.

Quote: Dave K. " 3/4 top players?'"


I could go buy a Ferrari tomorrow, but getting 85 year old Jock from the bowls club to drive it wouldn't win me any races.

Radford simply has to go, all his cheerleaders have become boring, Pearson is too pig headed to admit that Radford couldn't mount an attack on the Isle of Wight if he was Chief of Staff of the combined NATO forces.

The club will not die, we've been in worse positions, what [icould[/i cause us an issue is the incessant abuse of anyone who has the audacity to criticise. Fortunately it's only the usual (unimportant and irrelevant) opinions on here. Speak to most FC fans and they say the same, sponsorship next season is already an issue and it's only getting worse.

I've asked before, but will ask again, who are these cheerleaders?
