No Kath, no Hull FC.

Its as simple as that.

True, I did not want to see the back of Super Shaun. But Briscoe and his agent played part in his departure from the club as well as whatever motives Peter Sharp had. If they hadn't allegedly pinned the contract renewal on Shaun making his England bow against the French then his deal would have been signed and sealed (assuming the pen never had Cookie's disappearing ink in it !!).

Just out of interest, I wonder what kind of money would be required to persuade the ambulance chaser to sell Briscoe ? Or who might Rovers want in a player exchange ?

You girlie birds av got it all wrong...he, soz, she was tapping up McLennan. Will be the dull,s new coach next week.

To be fair to you lot i would be angry if i were you aswell, Hetherington needs to get her priorities right, and look after your club, shes a joke.

whispering sweet nothings in his ear to try and get a player on loan. we could do with a better number 7

We know but some on here can't see that

I don't, but the simplistic view of "sack the board" is not the answer I feel.
However it is the only thing you have to say !

The point about coaches and boards is that I would expect the board to trust the coaches decision about playing matters. We would all be annoyed if they didn't. However, because Sharp didn't want Briscoe you expect the board to step in. You can't have it both ways and I feel you are seeking a utopian world that doesn't exist.

Can you really name me a team apart from Saints, who's fand are happy with their board ? How would you feel if you were a Bulls fan ? Or Wire, having spent a load of money (again) ? Or Leeds, who have now lost 2 in a row ?

Sorry, but I think your arguments are a best facile and at worst misguided. [uNot[/u a personal comment on your integrity or desire for the club; I admire that !

I have been a regular for a lot of years and have suffered a lot more disappointment and heartache than I have joy. However like you I love my team and always want the best for them.

However the world is not as simple as "sack the board" and that is why I made my comment.

As posted on the "EVERYONE PLEASE READ" thread, and with acknowledgement to xxHoneyxx who has already pointed the below out in this thread too:

Gary Hetherington was at the Hull v Hull KR game - he was in the Circle Restaurant after the game. Do not know where he was sat during the match but assume it was the "directors box" seats with his wife?

It seems obvious that he and Kath then went to the Bulls v Rhinos game after her obligations at the KC (including post-match round-up to sponsors) was completed?

it's 1 thing been at the game, another sat with the leeds coaching staff and finger wagging when she doesn't give a fook about our club

Agree with all you say, and early 'boring' comments. Some people think we have a divine right to sign any player we like and forget things like the salary cap come into play. Would love to see us winning every week playing sparkling rugby but am realistic enough to realise that there are 13 other clubs after the silverware also. Saddle up and enjoy the ride, this is Hull FC after all

If you all keep calling him/her maybe he/she'll get fed up and move his/her Super League franchise to South Yorkshire or West Cumbria?!?

She was clearly asking for odds on which team's supporters would be the most p*ssed of today. Leeds' for losing or Hull's for that embarrassing signing.

that's your opinion and it may be wrong !

Maybe she was telling him "even we won here !"

ultimatley she will have the final say over everything at the clubin recent seasons

Somebody forgot to get paul Cookes signature, we have never replaced him

Shaun Briscoe was allowed to leave, which was a ridculous decision

We forgot to check the rules regarding Jamie Thackery being cup tied

Has she come out and spoke over the visa saga

Did she come out and speak over the decision to go to Friday night's

Did she do her homework on peter Sharp coaching credentials as he had achieved nothing down under

Did she not intervene and tell John Kear we had to drop Danny Brough for Sionne Famwauami(sp) at a playoff game

Why did she allow the players to drive John Kear out and made him sign a confidentality agreement on him receiving his sevrence pay

Did she give the seal of approval on Rich Agar getting a 3 year contract as an unproven coach

Does she front up to the fans on any occasions to answer any questions

Will she speak to the average fan, unless they in a coporate package

The above a fact no as remember Paul King golf day didn't even acknowledge the 2 teams we had enterned becuse we was just little fans off the street

She has no passion or commitment to hull fc at unless it means taking money off us

She would drop us in a flash and sell up if Paul Caddick would sell Leeds Rhinos to the hethringtons

Now see, heres the thing. Hetherington knows Hull fans would never boycott because of their loyalty and passion for the club. She and the board are in it for the money, put a team out on the cheap to keep the fans coming in. The only way you could shock the board is to accept mediocraty for a couple or three seasons and boycott the club, snub the new merchandise and make the club untenable. But if I were a Hull fan I could never do that. No win situation.

Me neither but it fooks me off big time

For me Reardon is the final straw.

It is the ultimate p!$$ take. I hope he goes down, lets see what the board says about that!

Rule would put some postive on like we are hoping to secure a sponsorship with the prison guvunor, we have a grade a license and whilst stuart is inside he will be doing somework on securing taht when the current 1 ends

So which is better, having a club with her at the helm, or not having a club at all? Because I don't see a queue of people beating her door down to buy the club from her - she takes her money out and the club folds.

What to crowds of 2000. Face it , Hull FC are potentially the biggest Club in SL.

And as our part in the community Rule will send 10 passes to Rampton!

OR we'll be the new home to Mean Machince......

no it doesnt

Wouldn't happen, there has been a few interested parties so far who have been unwilling to pay her over the odds

If she put a realstic value on the club then im sure a few of them that have enquired would again be interested

ATEOTD the club as a buisness is 1 of a few in the game that would be self sufficent and a good vialable long term investment to someone who would be in it for the long term

The sky money more or less pays players wages

SMC fee so there is no ground matineance

Record season pass sales,merchandise,coporate so if she put a realistic figure on the club im sure they would be people out there to come in and put there money in and take the club to the next level were we should be with our fan base

Is now the time to say that she was overheard when at Gateshead saying she would never bring her family to Hull because of the bad language?
