Disagree, I for one will never forget how he completley shiit on us, nor will I forget his try in the derby and the responce to the southstand
We would not go watch our team whilst he played in it.

It might have been a shrewd move on their part, but that doesn't mean it would be equally shrewd for us to take him back.

It would be exactly the opposite in fact.

Not saying Icondone his actions but I can see him being forgiven prety quickly if we suddenly started challenging for honours - maybe I'm too cynical

I don't think the Rovers board or coach appear to be particularly enamoured with Cooke but the move has been perfect for Rovers - it completely unsettled FC, allowing Rovers to become dominant in the city whether we like it or not. We still haven't recovered - it was a shrewd move.

However, it's led to god knows how much in wages lost, bad press from Mr Cookes mis demeanours. Ill feeling in the camp as some people don't get on with him. I still don't think Morgan ever wanted him.

The two things that Hull FC NEVER EVER NEED are Walker anywhere near running the joint and Cooke back on the payroll.

Why would you say that ? Walker is and has been a very successful businessman in this City for many years. He is and always has been a very big supporter of FC let alone being an ex player.
I think he can bring in fresh money/sponsors to the club especially now that P&O are seriously considering re-locating due to the business rates disgrace.
The added bonus would be that the club had someone on the board that can relate and be in touch with the fans as he once stood on the terraces at Boulevard.
If true I think he would bring a lot of passion back in the board room, something we have lacked since Kath and co have clearly been devoid of.

Thats where and why KR have overtaken us, by drive and passion of supporters and ex players in the board room.

NOBODY RESPECTS OUR CLUB, WE ARE A JOKE TO EVERYONE. IF THAT T**T COMES BACK THEN WE ARE JUST SETTING OURSELVES UP TO LOOK EVEN MORE STUPID THAN WE ALREADY DO. I WONDER WHAT THE OLDER PLAYERS THINK ABOUT THE STATE OF AFFAIRS AT THE CLUB AT PRESENT. I THINK THE DAYS ARE GONE WHEN A PLAYER IS PROUD TO WEAR THE BLACK AND WHITE SHIRT!

Tickle shouldn't go. He is one of our only forwards who are capable of an offload.

Dowes - King - Radford
Berrigan - Houghton
Cusack - Lauaki - Maloney
Fitzgibbon - Burnett
Tickle - Manu
Washbrook - Whiting

That seems a little top heavy in forwards with 14 of the 25man squad only leaving 11 to fill all the backs posistions

Those numbers seem about right to me. Considering a typical selection is likely to be 9/10 of the match day 17 forward-based, 14 of the 25 squad is pretty much spot on. Especially when you have 2 or 3 in there who can also do a job in the backs if necessary.

Is it balls, the reason they've over taken us is shrewd signings by the coach.

Knowing many people who have had dealings with him, I want Walker nowhere near FC thanks very much.

Fans do not always make good owners.
