He is not as honest as your chairman is he,why did pearson get the boot from the allams,being too honest of course.!!! But we know better dont we ??

Pearson wont put the money into scum like Hudge and Crossland has for us. The fact is is that they have done the dirty on Rovers with the sneaky signings of Sharon macdingle (115K a season joke) and now Paea??? I don't think I will be far of the mark in saying the only way they will play for scum is if there paid around an extra 30k to 40k what there on now. And the laugh of the season is the Genitals comes out in the paper and says we can attract top players?? Has he forgot Tickle and Briscoe 2 of your top players are leaving?? but yes I mean I would be proud to overpay Ellis (this crock is really taking you for a ride) O,meley (what has he ever done besides 2 10min stints a game) then theres Galea (another you had to overpay for not even half a season and past it). You lot really are S/L biggests fools.

With our chairman we no were we stand....FACT

This is good news and I hope that Neil and rob are around for years to come and I hope we win some silverware for them both and the fans long live the chairman

Neil Hudgell is the best thing to happen to Hull KR since the 80's FACT. But these over the top radio interbiews have to stop. We lose he want'sout everything and everybody is to blame then we win and he wants to stay on forever and everything's rosy love the passion he shows really i do and the honesty is refreshing but just tone it down slightly!!

This is more like the Hull FC overflow board.

I'm happy to discuss Rovers on here, it's not my fault that Zod etc continually bang on about Hull.

I used to like George Harrison now every time I see his face I want to puke. Your all the things wrong with internet forums. Try saying something intelligent and constructive, maybe on your own board as well.

Says the idiot posting on the Rovers board.Grow up.

Done a quick check and out of your last 17 posts,15 have been on the HKR board,2 on yours.Obsessed?

Obsessed is counting numbers of posts .

Yes. Hudge has cried wolf so often you'd be forgiven for thinking he has an interest in Wire. Problem is as everyone knows, nobody took a word the little boy in the fable uttered as credible either after he'd sought attention one too many times. And what happened then? All the innocent, trusting sheep came a cropper. A sad tale, and one which wise men remember.

No,obsessed is regularly posting drivel on subjects that dont even concern your team.Like you.

Do I detect wishful thinking on your part

No, merely an incredulous raising of eyebrows. Announcing such damning statements of doom-inducing despair after last year's tenth position and again after the Wigan debacle (which have ultimately contributed to the loss of his best player and have been the cause of much worry and desperation throughout the fanbase - his paying customers) appeared to be a staggering miscalculation of business-savvy to bemused onlookers.

Now for this to be swept away with assertions that the future's bright after all, 'just ignore what I said before, folks', seems to undermine the previous assertions as, at worst, calculatingly incongruous and flippant, and at best, wolf-crying.

Im glad hes staying on. Hes red n white through and through. If certain fans of a certain team don't like him then that's there problem. He calls a spade a spade and a cabbage a cabbage. Brutally honest IMO

Oh, I agree. He's brilliant for us.... I mean, you. Long may he reign.

We've lost our best player? I didn't know Dobson had left, I'm gutted. A bad end to what was almost the perfect weekend as well :'(

While you're looking at tales and fables you should look up the emperor's new clothes, good read that.

What do you mean dobbos left

I actually agree with you and have raised such concerns when these events occur (cue the same time next year, no doubt).

The thing is, the comment(s) from Board level disseminate in so many different ways downwards and outwards.

For example, I was lunching with one of Rovers sponsors at the Giants match and we got round to discussing the 'unsettling' behaviour of NH (& RC). They questioned their continued support for the club and sought assurances about the club's future. I heard a significant number of sponsors also contacted the club (and rightly so) with Mike Smith having to go into damage limitation overdrive. Fortunately, this time at least, the sponsors seem to have rallied round and been the catalyst for the U-turn. Was is it method or madness, who knows!

For me, the concern is that NH has turned the annual 'shall we or sharn't we' (sic) spectacle into short-termism; as opposed to what ought to be a long term vision for the club. I am unsure if he realises the consequences of his 'honesty'; because he keeps repeating this behaviour suggests not.

In all honesty, and I will probably get slated for this, because of the adverse effect the latest event caused, in particular with reference to the remarks made by Paea's agent regarding the perception of Rovers finances etc., perhaps what Neil said about the shelf life of coaches (about 7yrs) goes for Chairmen/Board members as well.

In saying this, it will be a sad day when Neil & Rob do leave so I hope they have an exit plan other than the next round of shall we or sharn't we. I'm not holding my breathe. . . its not only a roller coaster ride watching Rovers but also living with our mercurial chairman lol!

Explain? Source!

Dobson hasnt left! Hes taking the p**s! I dont get all the negativity towards our chairman, just cos ours gives a sh**. Keep off our forum if u care that much

THE MIGHTY HUDGELL LIVES ON. ONCE MORE THE IRREGULAR POOPS LOOK WITH ENVY ACROSS THE GREAT RIVER HULL. HOW THEY WISH THEY HAD A MAN IN CHARGE WITH THIS MUCH PASSION. WHEN HE TALKS, POSITIVE THINGS HAPPEN. WE ARE LEVEL ON POINTS ONCE MORE. GENTLE MAKES OUT WEEK IN WEEK OUT HE HAS THE YOUNGSTERS THAT WILL TAKE HIS TEAM TO SILVERWARE MEANWHILE ROVERS YOUNGSTERS GO ABOUT THERE JOBS QUIETLY AND PROFFESIONALLY LEARNING FROM THE MASTER SANDERCOCK. BE AFRAID BE AFRAID AND AS THE GENERAL SAID GENTLE GET YOUR BOYS IN THE GYM THEY LOOK ANEREXIC.

Some good points. The difficulty is that it is impossible to construct an exit plan in isolation - you need somebody to be passing the baton on to, and if you've run your leg and there's nobody there... awkward.
You look at recent changes of ownership in RL and they were mostly precipitated by crisis. Where they at least avoided going bust and had a relatively painless transition, it was knight in shining armour time, rather than good planning.

I see. The strategy being that you set-off a series of incendiary bombs in your own precarious building in the hope that they won't burn through the existing foundations whilst bringing rescuers and more shoring props from the existing suppliers. Risky. Though it could work. Albeit, like you say, a short term, not to be too oft-repeated, plan. Trouble is, it's cost him a supporting pillar this time and my guess is the floor joists are almost smouldered through and the walls are showing signs of fatigue.

Wouldn't it be better to negotiate with a willing and supportive third party to pay for and build a wonderful new shop floor so more people could look around and buy into what you're offering? Of course, such a party would need cherishing and nurturing and you'd have to ensure nothing be done or said to alienate them. The same would go for your shop floor manager - you'd keep him in the loop and ensure he feels stable and wanted. Wouldn't you? Same with the building regulators, you'd say nothing to upset them either, or make them focus unduly on you, would you?

Any careless mis-management of the above could indicate that you'd become a liabilty, perhaps? Guilty of loving the old timbers so much you've stopped seeing the wood for the trees?

This guy gets it!
