I'm sorry but this thread should be locked as David Hughes is perhaps the only person currently associated with our club that deserves any credit. It is run by idiots, the players are useless, the coaching staff have nothing to work with, nothing is working. I have never experienced a feeling like this before. If rupe1 wants to discuss this more at the next home game I am up for it

Not knocking DH, but you have to question where the money is going? £30k a week......on what?

None of us can work out where 30k a week is going. None of us know the details. IMO though we are somehow being swindled by the RU club as not even the clowns in charge of our club can run Harlequins RL so inefficiently.

I swear I want to do a PHD in how abysmal our club is and how problems could be solved. It's not even down to marketing etc, interesting GF, regardless of what was reported, todays crowd was probably the best of the season. Try and explain that.

I don't think your assessment is right; on today's performance it could appear so, but there is a core of the team that are (were?) good players and don't become useless. They didn't operate as a unit today and had only one idea with ball in hand; coaching (in all its facets) would appear to be lacking?!

Can't. If you say there were more than the Wakey game (3,688) and they reported 2,819 today, either they lied about wakey, counted free tickets allocated for Wakey as part of the MASSIVE marketing campaign or a load of East Hull finest jumped the fence today.
I agree that the club has been run badly and I agree that DH is the only person to still have much credit at all, but HE WAS RESPONSIBLE for employing pretty much everyone currently at the club. He doesn't sign the players, but he signed the coach who assembled this squad.
Back office is harder to quantify as we don't know what restrictions are in lace on finance, but you have to ask what the point of having a marketing person is if there is no budget.

Which core of the team is still present, that SHOULD be performing? I am struggling to identify our core now.

I couldn't care less how we operate with ball in hand when we ship 50 points.

Whoever is in charge of marketing or whatever etc needs sacking. Simple as that. I could do a better job as a graduate. You could do a better job being other side of the world. The money is there, or has been there perhaps, as everyone claims a cut. Ideas are there, just so badly implemented it is a joke You would have thought we have a favourable deal with regards to our ground, but perhaps not now.

IMO that was the largest crowd of the season.

A hamster could do a better job, but thanks anyway
