Quote ="Diogenes"We are not the Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea or Liverpool of rugby league. We are Newcastle Utd or Spurs; a team with passionate fans and a proud history, but in the recent past, perennial under-achievers. We will only change that by recruiting the best players, appointing the best coaches, developing our own talent and by ridding ourselves of the corrosive culture which has permeated the club for years.'"
Comparing Hull to Newcastle is pretty spot on. Big support but not a lot else.
Without irresponsible investment from a sugar daddy ( I wouldn't want that anyway) we'll never be a top club, even with it it's not the bee all and end all, look at how Warrington have had to build and build over 10 years, and although they have established themselves as one of the big boys, they'll be hoping for a bigger return then a couple of cups in the coming years.
I find it hard to see what Pearson see's in the club, it's a thankless task really.
But the depressing fact is now is that even Mr Bean is better equipped at something than our bewildered leader!
