I'd imagine Hudgell and Crossland will be doing their usual blokey thing of expressing disappointment in solidarity with the fans (and the deflection opportunity that Boudebza's case has created is useful in this context), but disregarding the inconvenient truth that they've created it through selecting Sandercock, Chester and Poching as their leadership team, dismantling the academy and doing stuff like paying a fee to re-sign Cockayne. Clearly they've done loads for the club, including bankrolling losses of £4m, but the fact their judgement in things like Masongate is entirely protected from negative comment is a bit weird IMO.

Had this debate with a Kr mate today . I think Hudge and crossland are the main culprits and not the scape goat Chester but as like most fans they won't have anything bad said against the grudge ... After all he is a fan like them
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
Having a fan as an owner is often a bad way to run a club. I remember Mike Dixon's testimonial at Rovers when Hudgell ran out as a player. Hmmm. They also displayed startling gullibility when courting Tony Larvin and the sacking/purchase of Cockayne. Naiive and very costly decisions.
Hudgell and Crossland have put money into the club purely to stave off closure but the team is down to a bare-bones squad. Peacock will not be cheap and seems like a knee-jerk and baffling decision. Unless he has been promised a coaching role with Poching when Wooden Top is given the boot.

And long may it continue. they'll never amount to anything while they have fans running the place
Quote: 2. Tom Lineham – Warrington Wolves Now this how to make your home debut as powerhouse winger Tom Lineham went over for a hat-trick in the convincing win over Hull KR. The former Hull FC man was outstanding as he made 10 tackle busts, 168 metres and finished his chances superbly against the helpless Rovers.
Like i said, he ripped KR to pieces, he's going to do wonders for us with stats like that, what was the main beef at FC with him or did he just want to leave?

Depends who you talk too as there were two stories doing the rounds.
One was that he wanted a new challenge and therefore a move.
Another side is that Radders felt he was not professional enough and wanted to move him on.
When Wire offered the money we were happy to accept.

He wanted to leave and knew from the start of last season he was going to Warrington.
