Dobson hasnt left! Hes taking the p**s! I dont get all the negativity towards our chairman, just cos ours gives a sh**. Keep off our forum if u care that much

THE MIGHTY HUDGELL LIVES ON. ONCE MORE THE IRREGULAR POOPS LOOK WITH ENVY ACROSS THE GREAT RIVER HULL. HOW THEY WISH THEY HAD A MAN IN CHARGE WITH THIS MUCH PASSION. WHEN HE TALKS, POSITIVE THINGS HAPPEN. WE ARE LEVEL ON POINTS ONCE MORE. GENTLE MAKES OUT WEEK IN WEEK OUT HE HAS THE YOUNGSTERS THAT WILL TAKE HIS TEAM TO SILVERWARE MEANWHILE ROVERS YOUNGSTERS GO ABOUT THERE JOBS QUIETLY AND PROFFESIONALLY LEARNING FROM THE MASTER SANDERCOCK. BE AFRAID BE AFRAID AND AS THE GENERAL SAID GENTLE GET YOUR BOYS IN THE GYM THEY LOOK ANEREXIC.

Some good points. The difficulty is that it is impossible to construct an exit plan in isolation - you need somebody to be passing the baton on to, and if you've run your leg and there's nobody there... awkward.
You look at recent changes of ownership in RL and they were mostly precipitated by crisis. Where they at least avoided going bust and had a relatively painless transition, it was knight in shining armour time, rather than good planning.

I see. The strategy being that you set-off a series of incendiary bombs in your own precarious building in the hope that they won't burn through the existing foundations whilst bringing rescuers and more shoring props from the existing suppliers. Risky. Though it could work. Albeit, like you say, a short term, not to be too oft-repeated, plan. Trouble is, it's cost him a supporting pillar this time and my guess is the floor joists are almost smouldered through and the walls are showing signs of fatigue.

Wouldn't it be better to negotiate with a willing and supportive third party to pay for and build a wonderful new shop floor so more people could look around and buy into what you're offering? Of course, such a party would need cherishing and nurturing and you'd have to ensure nothing be done or said to alienate them. The same would go for your shop floor manager - you'd keep him in the loop and ensure he feels stable and wanted. Wouldn't you? Same with the building regulators, you'd say nothing to upset them either, or make them focus unduly on you, would you?

Any careless mis-management of the above could indicate that you'd become a liabilty, perhaps? Guilty of loving the old timbers so much you've stopped seeing the wood for the trees?

This guy gets it!

Haha re Dobson leaving !

Why should they 'come clean'? Makes it sound like they've done something wrong. Fc will announce signings when they see fit, not when Hudgell decides.

gentle says we have made an offer to paea and are awaiting a response but he knows hes already signed so hes lying that's why hudgell said something I think you lot should stop been so obsessed with our chairman

No obsession here, just wondering why he feels he has a say in Hull announcing things. Since he's against lies so much I wonder what he makes of rlthis.rl

Tbf, I think honest and discrete are both fine and Gentle was just being discrete. My only problem was the agent being neither.

On Hudgell, they did say they (he and RC) wouldn't bankroll Rovers alone - there's the wriggle room, I guess. There's other investment in the pipeline apparently. And a change of intentions - it can be debatable whether it represents a lie.

No surprise on the U turn now you've won a couple of games

Not nice

You seemed to have missed the context in the use of the word.
IIRC he said we wouldn't be doing a Bradford and that was where the use of the word came into play.

Amazing what a couple of decent results can do.
