It may be a completely different squad but put together by the same board with unchanged principles of business. The reduced revenue will automatically impact the squad we put together. We are not even sure we will be full time, so within one season we could be back to square one albeit with a nice stand, grass and lights.

Not entirely true that though is it?

Mc is stepping aside and no one knows what the new incumbent will put in place going forwards when he gets in the hot seat in a month or so’s time . At this point it’s only speculation, and personally I’d rather wait and see what plans he has for driving us forwards before commenting

I believe he did state that he could stay until the end of the year by which time you would hope that the squad would be complete and back in training so yes it could be entirely true.

I wasn't making a literal statement, it was based upon Sheffield being super organised and energetic, showing that they have been able to articulate a training ground structure on to the match day field.

But I think you all knew that.

"Could" but not that he actually would.
......Especially as he said last night on Sky that someone new was coming in soon....

Translation
albeit with a nice stand, grass and lights = an asset that creates more income away from the rugby and attendances.

They may produce the income they hope but you have to weigh this against the Championship money, loan repayments and reduced attendances.

I wonder how the stats for the Hull forwards compares to ours.

But it will reduce that shortfall from those you mention considerably.
