The truth is as CE he has presided over a slow and steady decline on the field, poor recruitment, falling gates and a total demoralisation of the fans. The only positive he can claim is posting small profits and lining KH's pockets.


FFS, what is it with you and JR.

If JR goes it will because AP has decided someone else can do better.

Poor recruitment, are you for real?

Fubar caused the demise of FC and the fans morale.

I'm not defending him either, just suggesting the possibility that he may not have done anything that requires defending. It's entirely plausible that the shareholders were calling all the shots, and he was simply implementing their plans. Of course, you're right that he could have walked away, but would you walk away from a well paid job if you couldn't find anything equivalent?

which is how most people feel, it's easy to be self-righteous behind a keyboard.

Penny pinching and lack of investment comes from the owners, not club employees.

Please explain to me what part of that statement is un-true,?

Impressive statement from AP. How refreshing it is to have a Chairman with his eyes on Hull FC, instead of gazing up the M62!






Keep your knees loose.........

Wasn't he supposedly looking for a job to enable him to do so prior to the takeover?

It's certainly time for the supporter base to unite behind the club now. I've not stopped going but know plenty that have and I don't knock them for it.

With an ambitious new owner and a stronger squad together with reduced prices hopefully the missing supporters will be back and we'll see a period of success.
