Not the best of traits in all honesty Rob.

He probably does, I asked for the quotes refering to 'cheap' comments about finances...you have not provided one.A 'cheap' comment about credit notes being given doesn't amount to an attack on the finances of KR IMO.

Wouldn't in a court of law either.

Would you rather have a professional robot in charge of your club who show very little emotion, or someone who is passionate and has a drive to see the club they love do well, and someone who can see what gets the fans going and plays on it a little bit in order to create better support?

I would rather have somebody who is professional at their job, bear in mind these are the people that negotiate sponsorship etc etc.
Don't get me wrong, I am not attacking Grudge's passion, just questioning where he draws the line between being a fan, and running a professional business.

The last section is equally as interesting.

'Knowledgeable fans are not fooled nor should they be by promises of big names around the corner.This competition should be about here and now and not next season.
Anything less is selling those supporters short in my view'.

Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't I seen qoutes on here, allegedly from the club about 2 signings for next year?



Wonder who he was aiming that one at then, as I can't recall any promises of big name signings from Hull, we've just made them

When they going to be announced then....

Did he really say that or have you made it up? He's even worse than I though. Does he post on here?

The title of the thread may give you a clue

He's probably one of the sock lovers on the unofficial forum.

Is that you all you do accounts and injuries

This is what happens when you let someone unprofessional run a business.

yeah people forget to sign contracts and all sorts...

And rack up enormous debts in the first 2 years, genius.

Rugby League is pantomime for the summer. Anybody who takes it more seriously than that, well shouldn't, to put it poloitely. IMO, of course.

The number of KuH people who are depressed or embarrassed by their club, and pay good money for the privilege, is shocking.

Some people even find time to mock both

I hope they all rip up SL like Berrigan has

I can see why some people would lap those sort of comments up, but I don't see the need for it tbh.

I wouldn't say Hudge was an embarrassment to the club, he's a living legend for the work he's put in to get us where we are today, but if he's got some issues with the powers that be in regards to how both clubs are, and have been treated, he should be taking it up with them and not broadcasting it in public.

The general interest in the sport in this city has increased a lot since we got to superleague and both clubs benefit from the rivalry. Despite the best efforts of these forums, Hull and Rovers fans co-exist in the real world without a great deal of bad feeling, so those at the top should not be stoking the flames of animosity.

Agreed and look where that got us. If you are not concerned by the finances at Rovers you are burying your head in the sand.

I wish I was as "unprofessional" as him, setting up his own firm less than 12 years ago, and now with enough people working for him to allow him to devote more time to his passion.

He' obviously clueless ain't he?

Was he a fan of the legal profession? He clearly cannot seperate the two and keep a clear head when it comes to Rovers.

I must admit that it is a slight concern, but your comment that Hudgell is "unprofessional" is without any real back up, in sport he has taken a team from near closure to the best league in Europe and in his personal life runs a successful law practice. I wish i could be that unprofessional.

Exactly, you beat me to it!!

I think your both mixing up business acumen and expertise with unprofessional. He's unprofessional in his attitude, the way he conducts himself and the way he portrays your club.
