yes that's hull fc next year, brill signings youngsters coming through maybe the coach a bit iffy but wat the h.ell am fed of reading how we are s.hite all the time and everybody giving there support up, So imo we will hit the heights next year ,COYH

Evening Adam.

Well I tried lol

It could happen. Spend the next 4 months bitching about a coach we can't afford to replace, or backing the club to a) optimise its resources and b) do the best with the resources it then has. We're all free to choose how and where we invest our energy.

Not seen as universally positive raps about incoming players as I have for Pritchard and Taylor BTW.

I don't buy the 'can't afford to replace' line anymore, he only has 1 year left on his deal. Unless we really are paying him silly money it is a drop in the ocean compared to what pass sales we stand to lose, or even just losing one minor shirt/short sponsor, the cost of renewing Yeaman's contract etc I don't deny that finances at the club are tighter than they have been for a good few years, but if we can't afford to pay off 1 year of an inexperienced coaches contract we may as well file for bankruptcy right now!

He's still here because Pearson won't admit he's again hired the wrong coach, until he swallows his pride and admits he's made a mistake it won't change.

If fans bail out when the club needs them, sure. Some people may feel a bit guilty withdrawing this support so it suits to downplay the consequences. Understandable if you are so inclined.

You're changing the topic, my answer was about whether the club can afford to pay off 1 year of Radford's salary in one go. I await your response...

No.

The club will be less able to afford payoffs, or anything else for that matter, if you don't renew your pass.
A simple concept that some people on here don't seem to be able to grasp.

Equally bringing in a respected coach would at least mean this years passholders would renew, and I feel would tempt some fans who have already drifted away to give it another go.

I can only repeat again that if the club was doing that badly financially they would not be bringing in the likes of Pritchard & Manu, and the signing on fees, rented houses etc that a new overseas signing entails. Don't believe everything Pearson tells you, he was peddling the same doom and gloom message last winter but there have been few if any noticeable cutbacks in the clubs spending.
