30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| Well, to counterpoint, you've read it exactly as you wanted read it.
But then you're an idiot , so you would.
Pearson appears to me from a very slightly interested outsider, very good for the Hull club. He bought the business as a business, whether he wants to ultimately sell that at a profit remains to be seen. It's certainly a much more viable option at Hull than Rovers.
If he does that (and I'm not saying he will) he'll leave you in a much better position than when he acquired the club.
Crossland and Hudgell, are clearly fans with some brass. I'd say, if it was my money it's not an investment I'd be looking to exploit. They're very, very unlikely to see a return on the money they've put in over the last ten/twelve years.
An entirely different scenario, and neither are more valid, other than to the terminally dim.
That stool in the corner with the bg "D" hat, as ever, awaits.

| Interesting reflection from RC for me we have been on a fantastic journey in SL and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a fan of the British game and believe that both clubs should get back to the model of the 80's with the teams made up of local lads and 3-4 world class players of the standard of Kearney , Smith , for Hull and Prohm , Broadhurst etc . I do understand for rovers developing the youngsters is a medium to long term strategy but keeping hold of them is a must when bigger clubs come along. RFL have sold our game to Sky to cheaply in my opinion compared to Rugby Union and if we had a better deal then maybe the difference between the top four and the rest could be reduced. Keep up the great work NH and RC up the robins

They haven't finished higher, well yet anyway and could finish lower. They haven't played a play off game yet so could lose both or only one if they finish 5th.
I'll give you the wembley one though...

| Another behind the scenes "stick with us" the good times are ahead, we have heard it all for seasons, at most clubs.

| An admittance that the stagnation of the last four years is due to poor decision making of their own (the golden triangle of chair, vice and chief exec ) , not only, but not least, the ill-conceived, , ill thought out but expensive appointment process (or jolly) that resulted in the failed appointment of a school teacher as head coach would be honest...
