I know many people who work for the club in areas from retail and lottery to senior management who have made sacrifices and worked over and above to help and support the club. It seems there are a few who seem to know a lot more than me on here, but I would just say this: how do you know Hull FC hasn't been up for sale for the last couple of years anyway?

It hasn't been officially advertised or offered for sale, but I know Adam would listen to offers, because after the length of time he has been here, with his age his health and his circumstances, he would be daft not to. However, the money is one thing, but his main motivation is ensuring the long term future of a club whose history and heritage he believes he has a duty to protect. we all want success and we have all witnessed a dramatic crash backwards since those great days of 2016 and 2017 However for me, however crap we are now, all I want is a club that I love, to exist after I don't!

New owner? well its a bloody frustrating time for all of us and another end of season farce and our moves in the transfer market so far hardly engender much hope do they? but be careful what you wish for because for me, owner wise we could do a lot worse!

I'm concerned that TS always said we would start slow but that was because we would finish strong and peak by Sept.
It's been the opposite and clearly, he can't control the playing squad who have shown they can't win when it counts. Wire at home was abysmal I was told by a few who went.
This is why I suggested that we literally bin 14 of the 17 players OOC at the end of this season.
There is a rot that's been set in for years and it goes to the top.

It cannot be denied by wokeflake posters on here. Something fundamental has to change.
New owner? Probably






I have lost interest

One change that has to be made is to get the squad fitter and faster than they have ever been for the start of the season,none of this we will build into the season crap

Only watch out here is the club have been creative in the past with signings experience, we were promised '10 internationals' for 2013 but what they really meant some had warmed a bench in England Knights games or played an international 10 years ago before their legs had gone.

But on the whole promising signs, and if we were as skint as the Rovers fans claim we wouldent be bothering with the costs of visas, houses etc getting players over from the NRL.

More bad news, media reporting that the RFL have warned SL clubs that central funding will be reduced due to reduced revenue for events like the CC Final.

Can honestly see the game going part time in 5 years, less money coming in while cosrs increase due to inflation and the league cant survive with just 5 or so clubs having rich backers.
