The only exception i suppose was when Dougie raided the city for a couple of years in the 90s.
He has therefore not had that hard of a job.
The link ups, partnerships and initiatives that Martin Dunn is rolling out at Rovers at the minute will bear fruit at Rovers for years to come in a much more competitive environment in my opinion.
Still doing a great job at Hull, that why we still sign the majority better players at all levels out of Hull and Rovers, even at under 18's level. See the England under 18's squad for details.
As you have said it will be seen in the next few years if Dunn and others have done a good job. Lets wait until Dunn's players make an impact on SL.
