This is more like the Hull FC overflow board.
I'm happy to discuss Rovers on here, it's not my fault that Zod etc continually bang on about Hull.

| I used to like George Harrison now every time I see his face I want to puke. Your all the things wrong with internet forums. Try saying something intelligent and constructive, maybe on your own board as well.

Has he ever done a media interview where he doesn't mention his bigger neighbours?.
Good news for us. He'll complete your demise through his vanity.'"

| Quote: Paul T - HKR "Didn't hear the interview but it seems Neil (and Rob?) have done another U-turn. IMO its great news for the club because Neil is literally the heartbeat of Rovers.
In many respects there are too many things coming to fruition at the club for him (and Rob) to walk away from, and if he had of done I believe he would have regretted it.'"
Yes. Hudge has cried wolf so often you'd be forgiven for thinking he has an interest in Wire. Problem is as everyone knows, nobody took a word the little boy in the fable uttered as credible either after he'd sought attention one too many times. And what happened then? All the innocent, trusting sheep came a cropper. A sad tale, and one which wise men remember.

No, merely an incredulous raising of eyebrows. Announcing such damning statements of doom-inducing despair after last year's tenth position and again after the Wigan debacle (which have ultimately contributed to the loss of his best player and have been the cause of much worry and desperation throughout the fanbase - his paying customers) appeared to be a staggering miscalculation of business-savvy to bemused onlookers.
Now for this to be swept away with assertions that the future's bright after all, 'just ignore what I said before, folks', seems to undermine the previous assertions as, at worst, calculatingly incongruous and flippant, and at best, wolf-crying.

While you're looking at tales and fables you should look up the emperor's new clothes, good read that.

I actually agree with you and have raised such concerns when these events occur (cue the same time next year, no doubt).
The thing is, the comment(s) from Board level disseminate in so many different ways downwards and outwards.
For example, I was lunching with one of Rovers sponsors at the Giants match and we got round to discussing the 'unsettling' behaviour of NH (& RC). They questioned their continued support for the club and sought assurances about the club's future. I heard a significant number of sponsors also contacted the club (and rightly so) with Mike Smith having to go into damage limitation overdrive. Fortunately, this time at least, the sponsors seem to have rallied round and been the catalyst for the U-turn. Was is it method or madness, who knows!
For me, the concern is that NH has turned the annual 'shall we or sharn't we' (sic) spectacle into short-termism; as opposed to what ought to be a long term vision for the club. I am unsure if he realises the consequences of his 'honesty'; because he keeps repeating this behaviour suggests not.
In all honesty, and I will probably get slated for this, because of the adverse effect the latest event caused, in particular with reference to the remarks made by Paea's agent regarding the perception of Rovers finances etc., perhaps what Neil said about the shelf life of coaches (about 7yrs) goes for Chairmen/Board members as well.
In saying this, it will be a sad day when Neil & Rob do leave so I hope they have an exit plan other than the next round of shall we or sharn't we. I'm not holding my breathe. . . its not only a roller coaster ride watching Rovers but also living with our mercurial chairman lol!
