Quote:A message to our members and supporters from the club’s Director of Rugby, Richie Myler… As a club, we are currently a million miles away from where everybody associated with Hull FC wants us to be. A lot of factors have contributed to the club being in the position we currently find ourselves in.
The board hears your frustrations; believe me when I say, we cannot and will not continue in this current manner. This is not a finger pointing exercise, or a blame game towards any one individual. But clearly, certain members of our organisation are not delivering on their roles, and ultimately we need to make a change.
Representing Hull FC carries a weight much heavier than most clubs in the competition, and expectations are rightly much higher than other clubs due to the potential we hold.
But, in the same way as a player might have ‘potential’, ‘potential’ can only take you so far. Hard work, dedication, and committing yourself to a cause bigger than yourself has to be paramount. Without those factors, you end up where you deserve to be.
This is the reality of the club over the past four years; and it hits home when you consider our current league position.
As members and supporters, you have the right to be frustrated. You have the right to demand change. You have the right to expect more from us.
But, I believe there is a brighter future for Hull FC.
Rugby League is an unforgiving sport. The margin for error is so small that if you aren’t all in it together, pulling in the same direction, or if you take your eye off the ball, you fail.
Currently, we are failing.
A lot of talk has been that our focus is purely on 2025, and we have “put the cue in the rack”. I can assure you all that every day, we are working tirelessly to solve our situation. To get back to where we want this club to be, we have to change fundamentally.
We cannot thank our members and supporters enough for their ongoing support in these difficult moments.

Why isn't it the owner saying these things. He's been less than open with the very people who pay his and the players wages. If his heart's not in it anymore he needs to go now and then hopefully we can look forward with some small degree of confidence.

Think AP said when he announced Myler he would be the one fronting up. I'm not fussed who makes the statements, just hope we get something off the back of it

Lots of unanswered questions in there.
The only one we need answering is when is Pearson going? That will be how the future of the club is decided. If he stays with investment I think we're done. If he goes and a whole reset begins then we can all get behind the club hopefully moving forward as the fans have lost hope, interest and the club is on a knife edge

Interesting to see how this pans out, clearly somethings are not right and possibly more departures to take place?
Still it’s currently only words, proof is in the pudding as they say but first time in a long while I've seen any sort of statement from the club and certainly admitting that the club are failing the fans/ supporters.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
The first thing is to acknowledge the current situation has to change so I welcome this statement but the next step is to see positive change to start improving things.
