He's the type of guy that could go into a restaurant be presented with a turd on a plate and still be happy because at least he got served.
Not actually unlike attending hull games now

| Probably one of the fans who were on their feet clapping and cheering when Talanoa scored his consolation try against Wigan.

Reaching the dizzy heights of 'mediocre' seems like a foolishly optimistic dream, as things stand.

| Fwiw I don't except mediocrity but I do believe that Rome wasn't built in a day , 2006 Wigan were nearly relegated and restructured the full DNA of the club and are reaping the benefits and will do so for many more years and that's what we need to do and hopefully that's what Adam Pearson and Lee Radford aim to do . As a city we are a hotbed for rugby league and I'm sure I've read somewhere we have 3teams teams from hulls junior leagues taking part in national cup finals in which have just won one . I think we will see a much smaller squad for the next few season which will make a better path way to first team football for our young lads . Hopefully quality over quantity , we have chopped a lot of cap space already this season and imo I think we could see upto 10 of this seasons squad getting moved on !!

Wigan changed their coach and cheated to escape relegation and then replaced the coach that had saved them with a better one showing no sentiment.
And what is the point of quality players coming through if the coaching isn't there to further enhance their ability. Pointless really.
I don't know what your obsession with Radford is but he is not the messiah you're making him out to be. Our declining performances and crowds are proving this.

Ah, but Pearson's attempt at being Romulus began 3 years ago when - after years of us being sold, I mean floated, down the river - he got rid of Remus, I mean Agar, and started his reign in earnest.
Under Gentle steady progress [iwas[/i made, the youth development, their integration into the club & first team, and blooding of these youngsters, the solidification of our defence (Radford?), 6th position twice and progression in the playoffs, the CC final. There were ups and downs in that net progress and Gentle was ultimately let down - in my opinion - by the fact that the mentality of the players to succeed wasn't solidified. Their inability to grasp what Gentle wanted in his complex game plans also caused confusion and frustration in the ranks, I think. Guess he expected an Aussie club culture in Hull. Our lot weren't ready for it nor up to it.
That said, we'd stagnated and Gentle had gone as far as he was going to and a change was inevitable. But to build on those foundations Pearson needed to improve on Gentle, the next coach had to take the baton and accelerate, not turn around and hurtle back to the starting line.
Instead Radford looks to have dropped it. And from such a height that the foundations that [iwere[/i painstakingly laid during those first two years look in danger of cracking.
Rome wasn't built in a day but the fire that nearly destroyed it didn't happen for another 800 years or so after those foundations were laid. Hull FC look like breaking all records with their two-year effort.

| What people actually seem to forget is Gentle actually had a half back with a good kicking game . I'll judge our current coach starting from the beginning of next season
