We can all wonder lots of things,all he is guilty of in my eyes is being a tad over excited !!

If i was splashing that sort of cash into Rovers i would possibly be a bit gobby tbh,afterall he is a fan just like most of us !

If he carries on with twitter so what ? No law against it as far as i know !

No I quiet agree it is his choice and no law against it, his comments regarding his tricks with his wife were particularly classy, not what you expect from the head of a sports club are they ?

Personally I hope he keeps the account, as an opposition fan it will be a constant source of amusement

Haha if you read that as him being him and serious then you need a sense of humour,ever heard of jokes at christmas time ?? No,well you are an fc "fan",all the best for the coming season !

So long as he doesn't start spouting that we have signed 6 futrue England internationals or 2 of the top 4 halfbacks in the league when we haven't, I will be happy.

He would just start making himself look silly.

defending it as 'legal', suggests to me that even you aren't completely sold on it either (?). It is, IMO, a little bit unbecoming - though I guess I have to admit to having a pretty low embarrassment threshold.
And if we're going to be relying on his judgement as well as his money, then as first impressions go it is sub-optimal - IMO. Not horrendous, I suppose, and if this were to be the 'price' of financial security, then - well I only have to look at Salford's current plight and I suddenly feel a bit less precious about it.

If it happens, I'd like to see the current coach and squad given this year to develop. Scrambling to get players in at short notice would likely backfire. If we can afford some top-end signings for [i2014[/i, then brilliant. With only Welham and Lovegrove counting as club-trained in 1-13 squad places, a continued focus on youth is crucial if we're going to build depth - hopefully if we're better resourced there'll be less risk of too many repeats of the Scott Taylor situation.

=#FF0000edit: I think the compare and contrast with Pearson was more than sufficiently covered before the lockage.

I do have a sense of humour, however if he is to become a high profile member of your club one would like to think he will understand he will be a role model to both young and old supporters and not all supporters appreciate uncouth comments

Unless of course he thinks uncouth and tacky suit the image of your club...

@BET

As the saying goes, you can please some of the people some of the time but you cannot please all of the people all of the time.......


Your displeasure seems more to do with it being connected to RED`N`WHITE... and the fact it has got under the skins of just about every black`n`white supporters makes it all the better....

As for his twitter...... people are saying that he is not setting a good example etc.......... people need to remember that he came from common roots and still has the common in him as demonstrated on twitter. yes he could be more tactful ,yes he could be more guarded, yes he could be more professional and yes he could be less honest...... but guess what he ISN`T..

We will all have to wait and see how it all plays out further down the road, if after it is announced that he becomes as secretive as the rest then so be it.. but i would welcome some more upfront dealings from the club..... however only time will tell..

Personally if I had won the euro millions and i was injecting large sums into rovers, then I think I would be more outspoken and less tactful than him. I'd also probably buy Hull FC and make them our feeder team in the national leagues

He must be seriously wedged if he's going to blow £15m on rovers without any prospect of getting it back or is he just the front man for someone else?

The similarities to the wilby situation are remarkable

Well reading certain RL press Hudgell is awaiting £5000000 hitting rovers accounts before anything is signed over.

With Mr Larvin been a Hull KR Fan and notably not of Irish decent it has no similarities to the Tim Wilby situation.

What will be Hudgell and Crosslands role at the club if it is "signed over"?

Mr Larvin has apparently said that he wanted them to remain in the roles they currently occupy but I'm guessing that's subject to change and we'll all have to wait and see..

Most of us on here will have come from fairly humble backgrounds - but sometimes to be successful you have to adapt. If he's made a fortune in banking, I'd imagine he had to, to be taken seriously by the Ruperts and the Jaspers (not that the City doesn't run on boorishness, but going in with your East Hull on full blast it would (sadly) be incongruous, I suspect). Maybe my stereotypes are outdated.
And tbf, if you've already been successful, you might think 'stuff it, don't need to do that anymore'. Or maybe he's overcompensated and gone a bit too 'man of the people'.

In the end it doesn't matter much, anyway - actions>words.

Cheers.

So a loud mouthed ex player coming into town waving a wad of cash and making all kinds of outlandish promises has no similarities to the wilby situation? You do realise I mean tim wilby and not holly willoughby don't you?

You will note I have not made reference to any extradition proceedings in the similarities

No he has not got under my skin tbh (if anything as an FC fan I think his behavior is great!), however my point is that he does not display the image I would expect from some-one fronting a professional sports clubs, I would seriously expect more professionalism, he makes your club appear uncouth and tacky imo, I hope he keeps it up

He's still at it

Ask Mathers

Interesting timing, choosing to re-open this thread now. You [uknow[/u something.



Right, it sounds like it's on to me. He's been playing darts (accused of cheating, I kid you not!) with Smith and Chadders, the latter having asked about the commentating job. Way too many hints that it's going ahead for it not to be completed now IMO. I reckon big reveal Friday, now the RFL are back after Christmas to ratify his suitability as owner, director or "influential person". Hope so, his jokes about his wife, dinosaurs, buns and bowel movements are excellent.

You do realise the comments have had to be deleted ??? Haha No obviously you dont haha

Like someone said if he is doing gobby stuff re the pubs and on twitter so what,its low key embarressment in most folks eyes and at the moment only thing he has got is a pint offa me sunday,massive deal ??

Some folk need to get a reality check and chillax,better to unwind than to stress !

Thank you

I do realise, but i did wonder who you passed them to. CPS?

lol perhaps you think i dont know the law,perhaps you think i do but just a hint the CPS wont help much in a defam case,the clue is in the name CPS hahaha

Its best for this site and the posters that it stopped,achieved do you think or not ?

He telephoned the CPS but they said it wasn't their line of work.
They did ask who's idea it was and when he said 'Frep' they just said 'We guessed as much' whilst laughing.

That could be classed as bullying Mr Skyman,laughing at posters intelligence is mean dont you "think" Frep ??? hahahaha #StoppedNow

I wasn't laughing the CPS were (Well in my head)
