“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.
Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

| Quote: The Brother "How long are we going to be taken for granted by the club,as much as they would have us believe everything is heading in the right direction its far from it. We have a squad that is so short of any real quality its untrue. We have lost calders,hall,yak,berro,burnett n now tansey must be 400k there alone and replaced with westerman,sharp,phelps so must be at least 200 k left there yet rule said prior to berro going we was at full cap,bull$hit imo. Our training facilites are a joke considering we have no stadium that we actually own its about time we had our training facilties instead of a day at ionains,day at boulevard,day fitness first,day university a club of our size should have there own training facilties by now instead of talking about it its time they delivered. We have the most inexperienced coaching duo's in agar,webster in super league and are our youngsters actually as good as we think compared to leeds,saints,wigan. Imo we are now behind wire,huddersfield,hkr who all have more ambition than we have and think it will be a long time before were challenging for honours again. Were been taken for granted and sold short when we deserve so much better for the way we back the club think this season may well be the one that breaks the camel back for a lot of fans'"
How many clubs actually own there own ground.....so we have a training pitch and bankrupt the club,which i think you would be glad to see in a pervase way.......only thing we need is a damn fine coach and thats us sorted.
OR WOULD YOU SOONER SEE US RETURN TO THE WALSH/LlOYD ERA.

As far as challenging for honours go, we have become a laughing stock !
So your only issues with the club are to do with the squad really? It's not as though the club aren't trying to sign players and are happy with what we have, and they're probaby just as frustrated as us lot.
Our 1-17 isn't that bad! But our sqad depth is. We've got a fair bit of cap space free I imagine, so it's a case of being patient I think. The club are definately still looking.

I accept that the club have looked and are still looking but why does a big club like ours consistently fail to put a squad together that can actually seriously challenge at the top of SL ? This season's squad is a mid-table squad again but when the injuries kick in, we'll once again blame "bad luck".
Something has got to be wrong hasn't it ? It can't all be "bad luck".

| Quote: thehullwhitestar "At the end of last season, we needed to do a number of things to our squad in order to compete with the likes of Wigan, Wire, Saints.
1) Get rid of the likes of Cusack, Dowes and Radford (or at least two of them) and improve our front row with at least one quality prop............. FAILED'"
We didn't need to get rid of Dowes and Radford. Radford is a very good player whose work goes unnoticed sometimes, Underrated IMO. Dowes isn't awesome but you cannot have a complete team of world class players, some need to be average. We have more options in the forwards now to move things around.
Quote: thehullwhitestar " 2) We needed at least one half-back and also some cover there.........FAILED'"
It's not like we haven't tried, we just need the right player to come along FOR COVER. 2011 is to be our main recruitment drive and we cannot risk getting that one wrong.
Quote: thehullwhitestar " 3) We needed to solve our right centre problem and get some strike out there..........FAILED'"
Whiting is likely to be our right centre as most people seem to want so don't see where 'FAILED' comes into it..
Quote: thehullwhitestar " 4) Berrigan leaving was rumoured for a while and welcomed by many(especially me) but we needed to spend his salary on some quality............FAILED'"
Again we are trying, but don't spend the money for the sake of spending it.. Good players can come available during the season.
Quote: thehullwhitestar " 5)We also needed to get someone in who can spell Houghton (possibly linked to the HB cover)..FAILED'"
Not yet we haven't, any cover HB coming in can do this role and i think it will happen.
Quote: thehullwhitestar " But we have brought in a winger, another backrower and a utility back that no club wants !
We needed Sharp to replace Calders and i think he's a very good signing, he should play more games. Westerman allows us to spell Fitz who everybody said was overplayed last year. And with regards Phelps, he wasn't a player that 'nobody wants' but quota restrictions meant most clubs couldn't sign him and the ones that can don't need players in that position.. My only worry is his fitness, but i will support him to the full while he wears black and white.

Getting Smith as coach did that as they had the players under Cullen and Lowes.

Last year we came within a game of 4th place, despite injuries, playing awfully at times and dropping points in games we should be winning. If that's what we can do in a crap season, what can we do in a decent season?
Good luck with injuries in key positions, a decent signing before May (someone always becomes available) and who knows.

hmmmmm....beg to differ, but you could say getting a good coach is part of the recruitment process....
hence us having a assistant in charge who looks like taking us backwards and them, who have got a top coach.....

We have replaced a winger and replaced a full back. We require COVER for halves. We already HAVE halves. Yes, cover is required, but to say we're a laughing stock because we haven't signed cover is beyond me.

Agree, and I think the club should have got rid, or not offered an extension when they did. Fair play to them though, they're backing him in every way possible and learn't from previous coach sackings (Kear and Sharp).
