I kinda posted in jest.

I am looking forward to the new season that's for sure.



We have some amazing signings. AMAZING.



A lot better than the shoite last year.



However if the average fan thinks this means we will win the lot then they are deluded. Players find it hard to paper over poor coaching cracks.



If all we needed was great players then why have a head coach or any coaching at all ????? Think about it



I have supported Cleveland Browns for 30 years, thick and mostly thin. Look at their roster for this NFL season. Amazing talent. And yet ?



The good news is they are looking at firing the coach mid way in his first season as iot's clear he's not top notch, good but not elite !



So ...YES I am always hopeful and positive re HULL FC

so, comparing the Browns, who have won little, to Hull FC who have achieved quite a lot?



The definition of an anachronyism.



I put my trust with the man who has his hand in his pocket. Do I like Lee, no, do I think he is a SL coach, no. BUT he is what we have. If I won the Euro, would he be anywhere near the club, NO, nor would Last, Ellis, Yeaman et al.



BUT I remember the days of not knowing if we would exist.



A toe in the past is akin to a foot in the grave.



LR is like an itch, you can't get rid, but the more you itch goes one of two ways, keep itching and it grows, ignore it and it might just go away.

Pedantry trap!





Like outmoded nepotism?

The last line from the above link is 'There may also be a little bit of big news to be revealed at the event too…' Unless they are are announcing Cator/another backroom coach but that seems a bit anti climactic

You can't exrend a contract that doesn't exist?

Griffin

“Having seen his side fall away at the backend of the 2019 season, missing out on a play-off place on the last day, Griffin feels FC lacked the mindset of a big club and that’s something they can’t afford not to have in 2020, particularly with the quality of the squad“



Quite alarming

Not really, something we notice when we attend games. Top sides are ruthless, consistent. We seem to get above our station if we win a few games on the trot, or we think we can win a game by playing a solid 20 minutes

Only FC fans and possibly some players see them as a big club. The article about Griffin and his opinion really made me chuckle. I know players are expected to bull up their team in these circumstances but that was really going over the top. It’s that attitude that results in everyone having false expectations.

Sorry I forgot to mention the sycophants at HDM

Isn't it the same with all teams, every year we hear things from Rovers aboutl about how well you will do and every year its pretty much the same end result.



The media hype from Rovers have massively been over the top in the off season,. Although I cant blame them, the best part of the year for Rovers fans is October to January.

I agree all teams’ players and fans do it. However to claim the pressure on the players at FC is greater than at any other club is clearly delusional. I suppose seeing things like that in the media encourages FC fans to think the same way.



I notice that although your put your point of view quite reasonably you cannot resist the need to get that dig in at the end that has nothing to do with my original post. I hope including the last sentence made you feel better.

Why is one players opinion delusional?
