Quote: Geoff Tipps "It's ok, Ste100Centurions .....We know you haven't come here to gloat.

What you say about "well run clubs" is true, unfortunately we are not a well run club ......We are run by a petulant child who calls fans who question his decisions and "speak the loudest" as "s" and he is constantly issuing statements that put the blame for our demise on others (30% was an awful pre-season, 40% is on-going injuries to a large number of players, 20% historic poor long term recruitment, 10% bad luck) and puts none of the blame on himself and the decisions he has made ......Even though he stood by and watched us sign championship standard players and actually thought that they would somehow turn out to be great Super League players. Even before a ball was kicked this season every Hull KR fan stated that we will be in the Qualifiers this year and fighting for our survival, but yet our petulant child somehow thought otherwise ......It seems that our petulant child relishes his privileged position and somewhat loves his privileged position more than he does our club ......I say this because we all know that he is a multi-millionaire .......He has the finances to permanently take Hull KR out of the red and make Hull KR a top Super League team. He is a multi-millionaire that actually had the finances to buy out his nearest competitor and render them obsolete ......I know that I don't have the right to question how a multi-millionaire spends his money, but when that multi-millionaire states that he is an avid fan, takes a loan from another multi-millionaire (Allam) to rescue his club from financial bankruptcy, state that those fans who question his authority "don't have the balls to do it" knowing full well that they don't have the millions to do it, all I can conclude is that our Chairman loves power and wealth more than he does his "beloved" Hull KR ......If you disagree and feel as though I am being harsh towards our petulant child, then ask yourself, how much would you pump into our club if you were a multi-millionaire?

Hats off to Adam Pearson! .....He is a business man who has pumped millions into Hull FC and he is now starting to witness his return ........Well done that man!'"


Couldn't agree more GT, people I know fairly well joined the BOD not too long ago with a view to injecting some cash, and promptly left due to the way the club is run from the top. It's very much his train set and everyone else has to follow suit. In some respects I can totally understand, he pumped A LOT of his own money and effort into the club when no one else was interested and has taken us much further than I could ever have imagined 15years - for that I will always be grateful. Really not sure of where we go from here, except get prepped for trips to Oldham / Batley etc.

Quote: Geoff Tipps "Well, now that you have created a number of questions to my original post I shall answer them.

1 you are wrong to call him a child .......Really? ......Our Chairman has publicly called fans who are disgruntled and "speak the loudest" s .......How many of the Chairmen of the top Rugby League clubs have acted in such a manner? .......In fact, how many of the Chairmen of any top sports club has turned on the fans that "speak the loudest" and called them s? .......He also publicly expressed that those fans who speak the loudest "don't have the balls to do it" knowing full well that the average fan isn't a multi-millionaire .......I wonder how many of the average fans who were hypothetically multi-millionaires would "have the balls to do it"? .......My guess is that the majority of them would have the balls to do it, but because they are not financially in the situation to do it, all they can do is vent their frustration ........And because our Chairman knows this, he is in a privileged position to say such things ........The fact that he calls fans who speak the loudest "s" and the fact that he knows those who he accuses of not having "the balls to do it" aren't financially rich enough to do it shows that he is acting like a petulant child ........He is acting like the child who owns the ball and says "This is my ball, so if you don't like the way we are playing together, I will take my ball away and none of us will be able to enjoy playing together" .......His comments regarding "s" and "the balls to do it" are evident that he has a child mentality.

2 how old are you .......I'm 57, how old are you? .......I really don't understand this line of questioning and your point ........What are you trying to prove by asking such a question?

3 have you been their when we was in danger of having to merge with hull and not even had any hope of watching rovers in any league .......Yes, I volunteered my time and worked for free during this time .......Did you? .......Did you volunteer your time and actually spend your own money buying little things like wood, nails, paint and whatever was needed to maintain the stadium? .......I did, did you? ......Or are you one of those fans who acknowledge the hard work that people did during the dark times to keep our club afloat and have convinced themselves that because you acknowledge the hard work this somehow makes you one of those who actually gave up their time and money to keep our club alive? .......Did you actually do something when we were "in danger" or do you just associate yourself with those who did? .......Did you or do you just talk like you did?

And as for Hudgell .....Yes, he rescued us .......But wouldn't you if you were a multi-millionaire? .......A family of five who are season pass holders give up approximately £1000 a year out of their annual income to support Hull KR ......And given that the majority of Hull KR supporters are earning somewhere around the minimum wage, I wonder what percentage of the average Hull KR supporter's wage is pumped into Hull KR when compared to the wage of our illustrious Chairman?'"


Can't say I disagree with a lot what you've said, not keen on the way it was said but the last paragraph is very true, a lot of people spend money they can ill afford to support the club and as such deserve a voice when things are looking as bad as they are.

The one downside to all you are saying is what are the other options, if he does take his ball home then who steps in?

Quote: hull2524 "Peacock does seem to be the problem. Did say this month's ago. Anyway he's got a 5 year plan so don't worry . As for kelly will be be here next year ?'"


I'm not sure he is to be honest.

He joined after last season (November-ish?), so hasn't quite been in his post for a year yet. The time he joined would've been too late to secure any decent signings for 2016, as well as having minimal cap space to play with. He had to plug some squad gaps, cheaply. I think a year is way too early to write him off.

Unfortunately for him, what he inherited was a pile of cack. Massive apparent issues with the management of the cap, and some really poor players, all signed up and contracted for 2016 & beyond.

It was similar for Motu & Radford. We had two years of re-building following the gross mismanagement of the Gentle/McRae years.

I doubt Peacock has much say in the new head coach either, that'll be Hudgell's call. Hudgell's the problem. His whole mantra is about beating Hull, looking at what Hull are doing through envious eyes - we saw evidence of this in his 10-point letter to fans a few weeks ago.
