An interview with IMG has revealed the TV deal went from £40m a year to 21.5m and of course SKY now getting to show every game...great work from the administrators as always.
Never mind a new investor at HullFC the whole sport needs a new investor or it'll go to go part time.

That’s shocking and further example of the inability of the marketing dept and CEO’s at RFL to sell the sport at any sufficient level if at all.
Then they and club owners wonder why the sport is creaking dangerously. Still no faith nor convinced that IMG will make any impact in terms of improving the financial aspect or moving it forward.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Interesting piece today in the Mail by Dan as he interviews Simon Grix. As you all know for me the jury is still very much out on him, for whatever he says coaches if they are worth their salt can really influence a group of players and if they can't they shouldn't be in the role. But like all of us involved with the club he's had a bad time and I'm sure those in the know on here will have heard the rumours about the influence and attitude of certain players and what that has had this year on others more impressionable in the squad. He's obviously going to be here next season and as such, we'd all better get on with it. I'd have loved Ryan Sheridan myself, as I really rate him and the way he goes about his business. However it will be interesting to see how he goes, interacts with Lasty and our new head coach, who if he is as tough as he's made out to be will be assessing his co-coaches as well as his wards on the field and hopefully acting as necessary

A good summary, definitely improves my opinion of him.
He really doesnt want to give Balmforth any plaudits though does he?

Pretty fair assessment Pete and one you'd be hard pressed to argue against. For me personally after such a horrendous season even though Grix was only an interim I'd have said thanks for your efforts and parted ways. He was brought in by Smith and he has certain foibles that are very Smithesque so I'd have preferred that complete break. As the Leader of a group for me he failed the audition and he seemed to come across as a negative character and quite defeatest a number of times.
Maybe Cartwright has seen something in him and is prepared to give him a chance under his tutelage.
As you say if Cartwright is indeed the Coach as reported that has exacting standards and demands on his personnel then it's likely he stands up to the task or will be gone.
