No I am not, but you keep defending rupe1...he has the clubs best interest at heart.

He does not, no. Not anymore. He has harped on about how crap things are, which many others have subsequently done. Not defending him, pointing out comparisons.


I didn't see you with your cheque book at the ready in 2005 when it all went wrong.....in fact, I didn't see you on cold wet thursday nights leaflet dropping with other FANS who wanted to see the club do well

This is your way of saying to him how he could have supported the club, as you yourself did no doubt. This is why you brought it up. You are the only one of those people who did it that brings it up. It's adulation you seek, so I'll give you some. You're great, well done.

Still carry on clapping if you are happy watching detritus.

Rupe, the only people clapping the s**t that was on offer on Monday were a handful of the "Loyal & Loud". To be fair, most of their applause was drowned out by the booing.

I think a change at the top is the only choice now, but the question is can we afford to replace Mac. From what I understand we cannot afford to replace the three players(Wells, Robinson, James) we have lost so far this season, so do we have the money to pay Mac off and take on a new coach. Our attendances are going to continue to suffer with the run of form we are on, so with the licence up for renewal next season things are looking very bad unless something changes dramtically in the next month or so.

For what it is worth I don't blame David Hughes at the end of the day he is putting his money in to the club, but we need more investment to enable us to improve the squad and change ultimately change the manager.

If I was in David Hughes position my biggest wish right now would be for BMcD to be offered another job or resign. Unfortunatlely, he seems too pig headed to resign and realistically we are clutching at straws for him to get another job. However, while that possibility remains there is perhaps has no urgency to act as the damage is done for this season. I would certainly not be giving BMcD any money that may have been freed up to replace Wells, Robinson, James. He would surely waste it and it is best held back for his replacement to utilise.

Why thank you...I feel better already

The club runs at a loss, the team are losing and folks aren't turning up to watch. The answer is not:
1.. Firing the coach, which will cost more money (Who employs and has the right to fire a coach - David Hughes).
2.. Spending money we don't have (Who tolerates defeat after defeat - David Hughes)
3.. Walking away and allowing a club you have selflessly supported for years to go down the tubes without finding someone to replace you (Who is losing money hand over fist yet really doesn't seem bothered by it - David Hughes)
4.. Not apply for a new licence, especially given that the criteria aren't solely winning games and increasing crowds - the whole point of the licence system is to allow clubs to grow in a stable environment (Who has created a franchise that is an insult to Super League - David Hughes).
I don't doubt that DH is as gutted as the rest of us with the losing run we're on, and I strongly doubt he enjoys throwing money into the pot - I'm just glad he's around.

I wonder if things would continue to be left to rot as they have if relegation was at stake ?
