Wigan will be Rads who is CEO but also a director. He works every day for his salary and isn't the owner. Ian Lenegan does not take a wage, you can trust me on that. Pearson is the only owner taking a salary. He has done a deal with a company owned by a mate of his that is on the verge of being struck off as main sponsor whilst telling a local company they needed to pay 20% more to hold their place on the shirt. If that's what his salary is being paid for it would explain why the club is on its arse. And James Clark was promoted from social media to director then later made CEO. They have always been running the show. Whatever the official title the ludicrous comments made at RFL meetings is enough to tell you Hull FC are lacking the right people at the top and have been for several years. They're not the only club either which is why the game is on its last legs.
Breaking news, Tim Wilby is buying Hull FC. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Very much so. Good friend of mine Tim, although I tend to drink with him in Leeds or London to avoid being filled in around Hull!!
£150k a year for a CeO is peanuts though - maybe AP is the only owner of a Super League club that needs a salary, not sure he's that independently wealthy, especially if he sunk his City profits into Hull? If he's been offered anywhere near his initial investment, he should get out and enjoy retirement.
I used to work with a bloke who was on the coaching staff at fc when Tim played He was openly gay to all the lads, he used to chase Paul Eastwood round the changing room flicking him with a towel saying come on Paul you know you want me!!! If you don’t remember Eastwood got done with been in the public toilets in kirkella
Yeah they knew mate. My father in law was in the same team as them. When he was in Aus there was another openly gay player and the pair of them were causing havoc every weekend brawling with blokes who were taking the pee. Anyone I have ever spoken to who played with or against him said he was the hardest man they've shared a pitch with. He has told me all sorts of stories over the years, some of which I am not sure are the whole truth, but he has had a life thats for sure.
If you own a business that is falling apart and losing money on that scale would you still pay yourself a salary? He has had chances to walk away but clearly he needed that wage. It has seemingly become too much for him now. If the 4 coming in keep him on then they are mad. The whole club needs a stiff broom through it.
That is the issue for FC fans I think. Massive underspending on the squad, but still taking 150k plus extras out of the club (his prerogative) which could go towards a 'marquee' player
It was posted on here two days ago. Didn't know about Barmbys involvement though or MKM, but the MKM connection doesnt surprise me.
Nobody expected this to be the Director of Rugby, why hasn't he gone for an experienced bloke? The money man supposedly coming in is is Myler's bairn's Grandad, bit of nepotism maybe? Hull FC to make Richie Myler rugby director with Leeds Rhinos investor linked - Hull Live (hulldailymail.co.uk)
