I am pretty new to this forum, and have read some of the posts regarding this.
One thing I will say, regarding EW, I have known him for about 25 years. I worked with him at the same company for a few years.
He is a loyal fan of the club, and has been for much longer than I have known him. Maybe if he does have a fault, it is sometimes been a little too passionate in what he says, and wears his heart on his sleeve a little bit.
I have read some of his posts, and I will be honest, I dont always agree with what he says, but I dont ever recall him saying about having knowledge on how to run a rugby club.
He has played the sport to a decent standard, worked within more than one super league club, including ours, and done some voluntary work abroad with an emerging nation, so although he probably doesn't have the knowledge needed, he will have some I would think, and probably more than some on here.
I caught up with him over a beer at a game last year, and he was saying about ideas of generating extra income. Some of the ideas I don't think were that bad. I wonder how many fans have actually thought, are there any ways, we can get more people through the door, to generate more income?
As for the doom and gloom bit, and the grim reaper bit. Lets be honest, there was probably a lot of fans that felt down at this time. I recall this morning, the interview at the end of the MPG, and I will be honest, I wasn't that confident that MC would be running the club, much longer after that, the way things were worded. Maybe, just maybe, he thought that, at the time of writing his posts, and didnt think MC's heart was fully in it at that point

Second account then EW
As a few have already said, EW is nowhere near the worst poster on this forum.. | | |

All joking apart, it's another indication of how far we've come in such a short time. Long may it continue!  | | | |

One thing I will say, regarding EW, I have been married to him for about 25 years. I worked with him at the same company for a few years.
He is a loyal fan of the club, and has been for much longer than I have been married to him. Maybe he does have faults his biggest for me is listening to the gossip in the local chippy because they know absolutely nothing about rugby, it is because sometimes he's been a little too passionate in what he says, and gets too excited and carried away with the moment.
I have read all of his posts, and I will be honest, I dont agree with much of what he says, I dont ever think for one moment that he has a clue how to run a club, but I don't recall him saying about having knowledge on how to run a rugby club he might have thought it but he's never said it.
He has played the sport to a decent standard at Eastmoor Dragons, worked within more than one super league club the other one being Hull KR as well as ours, and done some voluntary work abroad with an emerging nation when we went on a fortnights holiday to the Ukraine, so although he doesn't have the knowledge needed he will have some, I would think reading all the rose tinted glasses brigade, he will probably know more than some of them on here.
I caught up with him over a beer or three at a barbeque at our house last year when I was busy hosting family and friends from the Hull KR club, and he was saying about the good ideas of generating extra income he had for the club, most of the ideas were silly, but there was a couple that I don't think were that bad. I wonder how many fans have actually thought as much as him about how many different ways there are to get more people through the door, to generate more income?
As for the doom and gloom bit, and the grim reaper bit Lets be honest, we all get carried away when we've consumed too much, there was probably a lot of fans that felt at this time that my Andy was probably overthinking things, I recall this morning over breakfast with Andy the interview at the end of the MPG, and I will be honest, he wasn't that confident that MC would be running the club much longer after that, the way things were worded convinced us of that. Maybe, just maybe, he thought that, at the time of writing his posts, he was convinced that MC's heart was not fully in it at that point'"
