As a club we aren't ever going to get anywhere because we have an owner who doesn't have a clue, is impatient, unrealistic and dare I say it, has 'other' personal problems that manifest themselves in the way he goes about things (make of that statement what you will). We also have some in positions that just aren't cutting the mustard, that aren't able to bring to the table what is required, it's nothing personal but as an 'investor' in 'our' club I want the right people doing the right things at the right time, co-ordinated by someone who actually knows what they are doing with regard to achieving success in a professional environment..Pearson isn't that Person, nor is Radford, how much simpler can I make it?

So what's your solution to the ownership debacle that you say Adam Pearson is? As far as I know there's not a queue of investors waiting to buy the club, but correct me if I'm wrong. According to you his incompetence and "personal problems" are insurmountable, but with no alternative owner, what's your realistic suggestion? I'd be interested in what these problems and behaviours are, so could you share them, or if not PM me?

I'm not suggesting BTW that everything's brilliant, far from it. But ambition has to be tempered with realism.

Because as others have said he is then doing the job he is paid for.

PM the names and I guarantee they won't be repeated on here until confirmed. Then you can both have a pat on the back.

Maybe "pat on the back" was not the correct thing for EHFC to write?

But we should encourage Motu and not slag off everything he does/says.

He's only been in the role about 6 months anyway hasn't he?

It doesn't matter who we are targeting.

What matters is who we end up signing.

What's the first part got to do with anything I said, Easthullfc fan is bigging up MT for doing his job, that's the thing he's just doing his job, nothing more, I don't see that he's done anything spectacular as yet or going through hoops to make things happen yet this fan is saying that he is "doing right by the club", WTF does that mean, seriously? This individual cannot see that Radford doesn't have the skillset or personal attributes to be a SL coach never mind one aiming to be competing for trophies, yet he wants fans to blindly throw their support toward him.

A person whom has already gone back on his word about leaving if he couldn't cut the mustard, a coach whom at the beginning of the season spouted rubbish about us having had a kicking coach on board for 'hours' (in the context of it being a lot more than that) when it was so plainly obvious that wasn't the case at all, the coach that can't accept that some players needed a loving rocket up their arses yet others got punished by being put on loan instead, that he's made basic tactical errors with interchange time and again, taken the oppostion for granted (Widnes was an epic failure in that respect)
I'm not withdrawing my support, I'll still go when I can because I don't want to support anyone else, if I lived in/around Hull I'd go every home game despite how poop we are, i'd go if we got relegated, the fact is I don't, a 310 mile round trip is a drag for a Friday especially coming by car, four trips including match day ticket cost me the same as a season ticket, that's just the way it is.
However as a fan, as a life long supporter I feel that the club is just existing, we made some strides in the right direction under Gentle, but seeing the bigger picture, seeing what it takes to actually make the top 4 and semi's and finals regularly with a very real chance of winning silverware evades the owners and the people involved in running the club.

The whole culture, professionalism is lacking(Gentle was the most professional thing to happen to this club in years!), people are just 'doing their jobs' without any trees being pulled up, especially by those that wield the most power/have greatest effect.
Root and branch should be exactly that, everyone needs appraising, everything single aspect of the club needs looking at by someone outside the club and comparing it to the Wigan and Leeds' of this world and beyond, looking at NFL and how they approach things..we are still so far behind it is ridiculous, the fact we got to Wembley last year was a miracle in some ways, a big pinch of that down to the coach.. This coach will probably fail to get us into the top 8.
I'm sick to death of failed promises, penny pinching, idiotic rash decisions, no backbone to follow through, no professionalism, no real clue on what it actually means to look at every angle to succeed.
The problem is that people are so set in their ways, they don't want the boat rocked for fear of losing their jobs, nobody will come in and even if they do most of the tough decisions, the most serious recommendations would be ignored or not acted upon properly, because that is what 'we' are as a club, second rate also rans with not the gumption to recognise that is what we are.

Sums up my post yesterday, we are have become a mediocre club. You just have to look at the fact we gave Gentle the bullet and replaced with Radford. Going backwards at an alarming rate.

Outstanding!! An object lesson in the use of sarcasm and I agree with every word you've written. For someone to actually blame the supporters for effectively holding the club back (GM1) is lunacy. Without these supporters where is the money going to come from to try and move the club forward. We're all frustrated with the lack of progress that's been made but not rolling up on match day, or buying our season ticket, will only make the situation worse. We need to all be there as much as possible, or else I fear we won't have a super league team to support.

Rant over!!

Ok I'll crawl up Radfords ar5e, pretend everything is rosey in the camp and daydream along shall I? Do do do de dooo

Yes the supporters are paying to go to games, but AP knows and so did Kath, that as long as we aim for top 8 and win the odd playoff game, the majority of fans wil be happy. That's settling for mediocrity, just getting by, doing just enough to please the masses.

Id say we're like Canberra but with a worse coach, both can't attract a decent signing and can't string of results together.

One of TC MD or JR then ST FP to add plus 3 others
