| Quote OmneFC="OmneFC"I'm sorry but in my opinion, Rule has overseen our rise to one of the most cash rich clubs in the league, with great merchandising and marketing departments,
say what you want about Agar, or the board,
But the fact is, that James Rule has done a great job at Hull FC and we are a better club for it.
Before criticizing, you should take a look at the websites, club shops, and professionalism of the other clubs in the league, not to mention bank balances. With respect to those areas - those areas which are actually Rule's remit - we are top of the league.
Rule does not play, coach, or pick the team - thats not what CEO's or owners are for - we are not KR'"
You miss the point completely. rule is a marketing man and has done a great job on that front, transforming the club. Unfortunately, this success is underpinned by needing a decent product on the pitch and without it the best website in the world, coupled with the greatest shop and merchandise will mean diddly squat.
The club need to start performing on the pitch and quickly or all of the great work done in the last 10 years will fall down around their ears.
rule's job is to oversee and manage every aspect of the club. he can't (and has never tried to my knowledge) wash his hands of the playing side just becuase he isn't the coach |

He won't also have the power to sack Agar without full approval of the board, so what else can he do to alter on the field performance?
And the opposite end of the argument is also true - the best performances of the field wont mean anything without a solid back office |

You don't believe that the CEO of a company is responsible for every aspect of it?
Maybe he can just be responsible for the good bits eh? |

Without the the instruction of the board you mean. Although on the board, I don't imagine a non-shareholder has that much clout in the decision making process. |

If he didn't have a hand or say in those decisions then he isn't doing the job of a CEO |

I'm sure they have to be ratified by the board of which he is part. the fact is he should be hammering on kath's door telling her she needs to sack agar or it's all going to come tumbling down |
