Sounds like a well connected good addition. No company finance info on their site though, where's Mrs B when needed.

Hope for Rovers he brings a level of professionalism with him that Mr H lacks.

I see what you did there!

Must be doing something right, under him we have gone from NL1 hopefuls to top 4 in SL.

Dont spoil it, its the only bit of fun they have

Didnt say you hadnt, but thats not an output of professionalism is it.

I think the RFL look into how 'professional' a club is run when deciding on a franchise, so I think the 'actual' and the 'perceived by FC fans' is a good deal apart.

The RFL dont base their ratings 1 bit on the professionalism of the CEO, they base it on the club in general and its profitability, sustainability etc.

I think Luen sounds a good addition, my point is, i hope he is professional enough to not stir up the cross city hatred and have a personal vendetta against Hull FC which is unhelpful like your CEO.

There are enough posters using pseudonyms on this site to stir up a cross city hatred....

Your over estimating the impact a load of cabbages can make i think.

Cross city hatred has its roots in Rovers having the audacity to get promoted, thus spoiling the FC monopoly in our city. However, its much easier to just blame Hudge for it all.

You do realise there was rugby in this city before super league?

Incorrect. Most FC wanted rovers in the SL to bring back the derbies etc. NH's behaviour since the return as been wholly unprofessional and done nothing for friendly rivalry.

Whereas Hull's performances have done nothing for the sporting rivalry

Fair point!!

Dave, do you think Clint Newtons behaviour is unprofessional aswell, as he takes digs as much as he possibly can. Or would you say that as he is a player they have a different mentality and that he isnt speaking as part of the club but on a personal level.
Were as NH is using the club as part of his personnal dislike for FC?

but what has NH done..........ban the Airlie Bird from C.P.?

Most !!!!

There was a good number on here voiced disapproval of us even getting into SL, this was before any signings of FC players or perceived issues with our chairman.

EXACTLY.

Hardly a thread on their own board goes by without the bitter and twisted taking a swipe at Rovers.

And you take the view of a handful of idiots of here as been representative of general option? I didnt think you were that daft.

Yes there's a difference between Newton having digs as a player and the CEO of an organisation doing the same. You expect the Leader of an organisation to approach things in a professional manner and not look for cheap digs as well as shooting his mouth off in pubs.
