You know how you lot don't really value our opinions of your club, well... oh, never mind.

We'll see, I guess. Simplest answer if the most likely IMO - we're cutting spending on the squad. We might have to sell a player we'd prefer not. C'est la vie - we're not the only ones giving out distress signals, and 3 SL clubs have collapsed and failed utterly in 2 years.

If it were new owners, I'd judge them on what they did. I very much doubt it, but I'm often wrong.

I've just read Dr_Slammer's comments on the HDM site and I think he has hit the nail on the head over NHs comment:

"I'm not going to ask fans to spend their hard earned cash until I can safely say to them we will be going around again for the year."

Neil is alluding to the level of SC spending - whether or not the BoD will sanction another year of operating at the high end of the SC.

Ive been thinking for weeks that you was dr_slammer mmmmm im 80% certain now

Didn't mean that. Having been arm-wrestled into dreaming up a £6m training centre in a location that benefits Rovers only, and getting external funding to do so, turns out Hudgell might be bailing out before the thing's even built. The lucky Hull taxpayer gets to underwrite Rovers contribution too. Well done.

Only teasing - it was about 7 or 8 FC posts in a row. Cab man is debatable, I admit.

I'd be a bit wary of any new owners - but tbf, I'm already concerned, have been for years, not that it helps any.

New money certainly wouldn't go amiss.

Rovers need to go in a new direction, that much is obvious, whether that means new directors and ownership - who knows? We certainly wouldn't need preparing for the worst with this sort of news story though. While he mightn't get Pearson levels of adulation, we're generally more ambivalent about Allam - it's you lot that deeply dislike him.

What is the difference between allam and Pearson . Both know/care about rugby both out to make money are you worried for the future of fc?

Well said I think the fc fans think pearson has an endless pit and are guaranteed 15,000 a game even if rovers didn't exist I dont think the gates at fc would improve a great deal, pearson is doing now Wat we've been doing the last few seasons, nothing is guaranteed in rugby all it takes is a few injuries to a few key players and all of a sudden that's it.

Pearson isn't barking mad and has explicitly ruled out any talk of a merger. That'll do for me.

Do you think he will feel different in a few seasons time if your club are investing but not making the money to break even, is Pearson doing it cos of his love for rugby
