Mr H to Mrs H “don’t forget to work to our business plan, average coach + average players = disappointment. The stupid, loyal fans of Hull FC expect disappointment after several years of it, and increasing ticket/season pass sales why should we let them down. Do not get it mixed up with my business plan, excellent coach + excellent players = success. Get that vibrant young coach signed up for an extra couple of years this should guarantee disappointment for the next couple of years, and hopeful meet our ongoing business plan ‘extra disappointment’, think of the revenue this will generate”

From a stupidly loyal FC fan

I'm waiting for someone to suggest buying the club.

I didnt think it was allowed due to a conflict of interest as they are married and the clubs will be maritial assets, its just like Leneghan at Wigan with Quins. Thing is Leneghan cant find anyone who wants the shares

I can sympathise with Hull fans re the Agar contract extension but to suggest the Hetherington's treat Leeds any differently isn't altogether borne out by history.

Graham Murray came to Leeds subsidised by the SL war down under, Dean Lance was an assistant coach, Daryl Powell (given a three and a half year deal with less coaching experience that Richard Agar came with), Tony Smith had done little prior to Leeds and Brian McClennan (while a national coach) had no club coaching credentials in the NRL.

Peter Sharp was probably the highest profile appointment the Hetherington's have made.

good post, you'd have thought they'd have learnt their lesson from Powell though woulden't you really.

Hilarious.
