Aye, it's a job that sucks you dry no doubt. After about 10 years, if he's looking to step down the two next obvious landmarks would be the end of next season with the North Stand built and the year after with a new licence secured.
Always a difficult situation, especially when a club is reliant on board subsidy and there's no obvious successor.
Again difficult during a run of losses, but the club could do to find a happy face for PR purposes. Neither our coach or chairman are overly jovial and negativity can be self-fulfilling.

Of course he has, but he may be more willing to invest if he is the head guy and getting the credit and not just in the background.

I would welcome Mr Crossland as our chairman with open arms, he would do as good a job as Mr Hudgell if not better, Neil Hudgell has made some very strange decisions and taken some poor advice over the last couple of years which could be a sign of stress, and maybe a changing of the guard is just what we need.

Neil has been a legend for Hull KR and god knows what would have happened to us if he hadn’t stepped in when he did, but I do think it’s time for a change, the last thing we want is Neil going out on a sour note, he has secured the future of Hull KR and funding for the new stand so let that be his legacy, I would go so far as to suggest the stand being called the Neil Hudgell Stand.

Neil Hudgell. Rovers ledgend.

?

Think back to the banner at the last game of the 2011 season...

Oh dear

You have to ask on what planet an administrator would say such a thing.
Unless as you said earlier there are other things going on and other folks involved (I think we both know who/what we are talking about).

You are confusing having lost of asset value with having a lot of cash.

Crossland is a business man first and rovers and second. He is not the sort to throw money into a black hole.

Do you think he expected a return on his money?

Probably not in the short term and from what I can gather, Crosslands financial input has not been huge to date. Business men like Crossland would not want to be associated with a failing business. It doesn't look good for his reputation for the circles he will move in

The difference between him and Hudgell is that Hudgell was a man of the terraces so to speak.

You ARE funny.

Does Pearson mix in different circles then?

Who's been bank rolling them then?

Doesn't Rob Crossland post on the other Hkr forum? How much of a man of the terraces do you want him to be?
