"...get out from behind your keyboards." What an insulting, patronising thing to say. Somehow I doubt all the people understandably booing and venting their anger on Sat were 'keyboard warriors.'
He's done a great job over the twelve years but really does act and speak unprofessionally at times. Probably also guilty of heart ruling head (always a danger when you have a fan run a club) on many occasions over the years. The priority of beating Hull over everything else I used to find particularly embarrassing.
I'd like to hear him explain what Peacock does for his huge salary every year, how much Campese and Kelly are paid to chill out, among other things.
There is a danger here that, because feelings are running high, we all get a bit thoughtless with our words and, at the same time hypersensitive to what others are saying. That goes from the board, to the coaches, players and fans.
So while Hudgell might be fed up at tipping in all that money only to watch abject underperformance and see carping from keyboard warriors like me, and the players are doubtless unhappy about having their integrity questioned and career path start to crumble, and we're narked that too at how it has come to this, if we all tear into each other then...
1. Well, the wheels have already come off, but that can be fixed - if the axles break and the engine explodes in a bout of internecine bickering and scapegoating, it could be cataclysmic.
2. And this is very much secondary, but it will make the Hull FC trolls happy. And surely we don't want that!
