do we not already have a Lord Faulkner???

Tis a reason for that me old dear



Rule can stay, Lord Faulkener needs someone to throw rose petals in front of him, take his suits to dry cleaners and bring him his morning cuppa

WOW- What a statement.like most on here have already said,that is the best statement i have ever seen come out of our great club.

AP is the man

mrwayneg Wayne Gardiner
Hull FC are keen on signing one of the players currently playing in this Manly - Brisbane game. If they get him, it's safe to say he'd be A1

Taken from a sports writers Twitter. Shows our intent to spend money.

You mean Charlie Falconer - Bliar's mate?

Bit like Coming to America. The Royal ....... is clean. Has he been in touch with you Hutchie about bringing back HISA?

Don't know which is better, Adam Pearsons or Russell Crowes speech at the beginning of 'Gladiator'

True, should this thread be re-titled ??

I hope Fubar has read this, whilst sat looking out on the desolate wasteland in Wakey!!!

Now thats done it for me! Hairs standing up on the back of my neck now.

Oh god i wish i was here for next season!!

Anywho - come on you Black and Whites!!!

Firstly; sycophantic, propaganda, and culpable.

Secondly, people outside of the club have no idea for certain whether Rule is how you described or simply wasn't listened to. I think there are many who unfairly hold an association with the people he happened to be employed by against him. The fact is, he came to the club as a marketing man, and on that side we're one of if not the best in the league, as shown by our income.

I just hope that if Rule does stay in his position fans finally start to consider that he might be good at his job and an asset to the club, instead of just wanting rid because he's a reminder of Kath Hetherington.

LIKE

you do make me laugh.

Can you spell patronising, pedantic, tw*t????
JR was brought in as Chief Executive not as purely a marketing man. How can you say he is good at his job when he has being at the helm of an organisation that has performed so poorly over the last few years, he has lied and misled the fans and come out with endless spin. Any other business his feet wouldnt touch on his way out.

where have we failed in an area where JR had direct influence?

get that chip off your shoulder, I don't like the guy either, but he's done a great job for FC.

He was originally Marketing Director/Manager and was promoted to Chief Exec after Plummer left.

The rest of your post is probably libellous.

I hope they send this statement out with advertising for the season pass this year. I'm sure a lot of fans, who may not look on the website, will read that statement and be persuaded to give the club another chance. The success may take a few seasons to achieve but those moments are going to taste so much sweeter after the continual disappointment over the past four seasons. I can’t wait for next year already. When are passes on sale by the way?

Fairly sure he was brought in as marketing manager/director and later promoted to CEO after Plummer got the push. The two of them overlapped in 2007 at least I thought?

Rule was brought in to do the marketing, Plummer was the Chief Executive when Rule started at the club but was made upto Chief Executive when Plummer went.

As CE he should have influence in every area of the club not just selling over priced merchandise and bumping up ticket prices and lining KH's pockets. AP's statement today confirms today what a lot of us feared, how badly the club has being run on and off the pitch and as CE the bloke must take a very large share in the blame.

bollox

you've never been a senior manager in a shareholder led company I take it.

Ah. So you reckon that Pearson is incompetent for not sacking him immediately do you?



That statement is baloney in any case. Take a look at the banking/financial sector for a start.

If the owners wanted him to do that, what choice did he have? He might have favoured a more honest approach with the fans, but was prevented from adopting that sort of tone by Kath and Co. As someone has already pointed out, Pearson isn't afraid of clearing out deadwood where necessary, so we should trust him to make the judgement as to whether JR should be allowed to remain in post, shouldn't we?

So he has being CE for 4 years then??
