So by the sound of it its going to be eight in / eight out as usual. This is why Rovers will never be a big club - the likes of Wigan and Leeds have stability and continuity. Making so many changes yet again will accomplish nothing. Right now I would rather Rovers be in the lower leagues again, SL is basically a waste of time unless you're one of the Big Three.

I agree with you to a certain degree, so much squad change is not good, it's like we're scratching around to find the magic formula, throw so much away and you're bound to miss a gem.
Where I disagree is Rovers being in SL.
I'm a little bit older than you (and this is, and please do not take this as in any way patronising) if we had not got promotion in 2006 we would now be Batley or Hunslet or maybe even Bramley.
Rovers have been decent in the nineteen twenties, for a bit, the fifties, for a bit and the eighties for a bit.
This is the club we're born into.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

If we hadn't been promoted in 2006 we would have gone to the wall again we through everything into getting promoted that year and there is no way I would want to return to them barren years of the 90s because they weren't good times

We also won the premiership final in 1991. If you cannot remember that one to, then you have no chance remembering the last major final you lot won.

Disagree mate: back-to-back titles, a Wembley win, beating Hull at Boothferry Park - what more do you want? Lol.

Its alright having a decent youth system but its keeping them that seems the issue. Will be interesting to see how the current few coming through develop but i honestly see only one or two of them going on to do anything of note.

Can that be anything more than short-term competition though? I.e. because as soon as a young player gets noticed at either Hull club its not long before they're on their way. It's especially baffling with Hull because you guys can (for the most part) match the big clubs in many aspects, so if you're a Hull lad at FC and they're getting to finals you'd have no reason to leave. That's why Hull need a top coach fast to get them to where they need to be so that young players don't feel a need to join Leeds or Wigan. With Rovers I just don't know how the club can ever get to a level it needs where young players want to stay, eg top four and with 10,000 every game.
