He's not an embarrassment, he's just a chairman that as well as owning the club likes to get involved in the banter, he is on the wind up trying to get your backs up, and lets face it, it works every time without fail. Thats why the Rovers fans love Hudge, can you say the same about Mr. Rule?

References to fans of a certain club only being allowed credit notes if they returned any merchandise to the club shop amongst others.

No, because he is professional.

I understand what you say about Hudge, his passion for KR is unquestionable, however as the game progresses so should he.

How many other chairmen act like he does, regardless of their passion?

I'd wager...NONE!!

I think Cheekie Charlie is Hudgy's scriptwriter

Right, and where is the reference to financial difficulties??

Eamonn Mcmanus

You asked for the cheap comments and i provided one.
As i said amongst others.
Not my fight, but Hudgie certainly gets under the skin of some.

Outspoken maybe...bitter I don't think so.

And the Wigan chairman

Would you rather have a professional robot in charge of your club who show very little emotion, or someone who is passionate and has a drive to see the club they love do well, and someone who can see what gets the fans going and plays on it a little bit in order to create better support?

I would rather have somebody who is professional at their job, bear in mind these are the people that negotiate sponsorship etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, I am not attacking Grudge's passion, just questioning where he draws the line between being a fan, and running a professional business.

The last section is equally as interesting.

'Knowledgeable fans are not fooled nor should they be by promises of big names around the corner.This competition should be about here and now and not next season.
Anything less is selling those supporters short in my view'.
