We may be around 1.7m in debt but we are still able to spend plenty seeing as we are only one of a few clubs who are operating with a constant profit.
We don't need a new team no, so stop been a fu-king idiot. We need a world class coach and a 7 as priorities, the rest would just be brilliant if they were brought in.

hull apointed a cleuless coach before they got to the grand final

Jason Taylor, Neil Henry would be realistic signings even Graham Murray would be a good appointment if he could get us playing exciting rugby again. I would love us to sign Des Hasler but not much chance of that I very much doubt.
We also need a world class 7 is a must! Regarding player signings a 7 has got to be the main priority. Orford or Finch seem the most likely to be available and would be over the moon with either of these.
An elusive, speedy centre who can use his winger properly would also be great along with a Mark O'Meley type prop.
Depending what happens with Motu Tony (His injury/returning to the NRL) and he does leave at the end of the season. I would love to sign K. Hunt from the Broncos if Horne doesn't stay at FB. If he does then I'd also like to sign a decent 6 to play alongside a world class 7.
Lastly, Hull need to stop giving out contract extentions just for the sake of it, it seems. Players such as Graeme Horne should never be a starting centre for a top 8 side and should only be a sqaud/ back up player. Radders needs to go as he offers the team absoloutley nothing in attack and is just a plodder.
Although it does seem good to have so many Hull born players in the team the simple fact is that the majority of them aren't anything better than average super league player ie G. Horne, King, Lee, Radford. Yet they all seem to be regulars in the side, and if they were upto much other teams would be trying to sign them.
Stop been cheap Hull and sign world class players in positions we need starting with a coach and and SH.

As much as this doesn’t need changing to another FC vs. KR thread it’s very true, FC where expected to kick on from that GF appearance and become a force, yet they’ve managed to do the complete opposite and as much as every FC fan now despises Mr Cooke the club hasn’t every really recovered after his controversial switch.
Plus the fact (and most black and whites agree) their board is one of the worst in Super league, they seem completely disconnected to the fans which are what make any club.

But then they appointed a clueless manager and they have gone backwards at an alarming rate, a bit like Bradford, who like Hull, went with sentiment in appointing some random ex player, rather than a coach who knew what he was doing.
Hull are nothing like bradford. They play in the best stadium in SL, have the 2nd highest attendances in SL and opeate at a profit. What they currently have is a poor coach and an average squad. We just need to appoint a decent coach, sign 5 or 6 decent players and we'll be there or thereabouts. bradfords problems run much deeper

I sense deep insecurity in your post. At no point did I compare Hull to Bradford as a club. I was merely pointing out the similarity in their head coach appointment.
