[quote="Tarquin Fuego"]This is frightening - it made me gasp out loud :
In his book, Ellis wrote: "What we struggled to eradicate was what I would call the ‘banter’ culture at Hull. It had existed for as long as I had been at the club, not just taking the mickey out of each other but, more worryingly, out of the values you pretend to uphold. At the top clubs, they know when the banter ends and the serious stuff begins."
Exactly why TS has diagnosed a need for a culture change throughout the club. People in Hull tend to be sceptical of change. I've always thought that this doubting culture, dark humour and a poor education system in the city are major contributing factors to local talent not fullfulling their promise. In a way, it appears that we sort of enjoy the misery more than being successful.
