as an interested fan could we be told once and for all:-
1.who was contracted to the club.
2.who re-signed for the club.
3.who has left the club.
4.who has signed an amended contract-if confidential ignore that-but we were
told BB did.
5.whos future is undecided.
6.why say rob w. was unavailable for odsal but yet played without
explaination.

at this stage of pre-season these questions shouldnt need to be asked.the uncertainty in the background casts a shadow over the new season for me personally and others i know agree.

I for one agree with Mike, the club will the fans have the information once it is all confirmed. Dealing with Players contracts etc is always difficult because at the end of the day it is about the players employment, they are skilled people who have the right to negoiate the best income for them skills. It is ok for the media to deal in speculation but the club can only deal in what is fact. I am sure Mike and the team are doing all they can and we just have to be patient.

Thanks Mike. I think as fans we're all a bit frustrated, but not all of us are businessmen and the world is a lot simpler for a lot of us.
All we needed was a word from someone we trust to say that things were still under negotiation and we are happy once again.
I think if you read between the lines, that this is more a general complaint about lack of bulletins from the club. Even if there is nothing to say, an acknowledgement is always appreciated.

Mike,

Thats fair enough, However the fact that the local Paper is releasing the information about signings before the club website is what i was referring to. The courier as we know is not always accurate and i would personally prefer to hear and see it on the club website first. I think a trick is being missed here, If everything came out first on the site then perhaps you would get more hits to it, in turn merchandise sales could increase and then the marketing campaigns would be seen by more potential Fax fans.

Well done for taking the time Mike, once again hes the man to step forward and meet the fans half way, as he has done for several years now.

I must however also say that people wanting to know who and what they will be watching next year, or next week, or tomorrow isn't unreasonable, everyone at HRLFC needs to appreciate fans are customers, it shouldn't de deemed in anyway unhelpful, unacceptable or inappropriate to want some honesty from time to time or to ask questions. Were talking about people who invest time and hundreds and thousands of pounds to the cause, aswell as yourselves.

In summary, I guess its people wearing hearts on sleeves aswell. I think maybe meeting in the middle might work, i.e Club, come on, don't dumb down every communication and blog, lots of fans have high enough IQ's to understand words containing more than 2 syllables. And to the fans, chill out! you know what were like, most of them have signed, well be fine.

The question posted at the top of this thread has been answered by Mike. Therefore no need for further discussion.
