The board should be trying to open doors at a high level to facilitate signings as and when they may need to be made. And I am not saying they haven't done that.

Interesting thread.
The Phil Lowe thing is prudent in the fact that he may not advise on any signings but because he played for Rovers, he can big up the club to potential signings and read their reactions as to wether they are tuned into the routemap of Rovers. The link some have talked of.

The other difference is money. I dont doubt the FC board are as clued up as any as to the availability and talents players could bring to your club but sometimes you have to pay the piper.
FC didnt think Dobson was worth what he wanted. Fair enough. Hindsight is always a kick in the teeth, sometimes you have to speculate to accumulate.

...but we never won anything under McRae/Richardson, and didn't do that well in the league.

They might have SEEMED competent but they also weren't operating in a severe economic recession (see the start of the thread as to why we are not spending money these days)

So when I win the Euro Millions and buy the club for you all, what plans have you in place and who's running the club on a day to day basis, Hutchie??

I'll do it

Deal

Agenda Item 1 : The players calendar

You're sacked

I would be more worried about your chief operating officer and accountant if I were you. I hear he has walked. Another job for Mr Hudge????

if Hull lost the next ten games. There you go.

...and maybe you should be worried about the shop staff cuts and the mountains of unsold merchandise they are desperate to clear
