What makes you think Hughes is someone who is suddenly willing to learn from his mistakes ?.
A memory just popped up on FB from 2009.......we'd just spanked Wire 60-8 with the infamous "shirt burning" incident.
In 2009 we averaged 3,500, with 2 gates over 4,200, we finished 11th of 14, our then CEO is now CEO of the Commonwealth Games, we had 6,000+ for the pre-season Manly game marketed by the RFL on our behalf and we took full coaches of away fans to Wales and Wakefield
We now have an accountant playing CEO with zero back office staff, a small community team and a coaching and fitness team of 3, we're averaging 1,500 and have little chance of maintaining this number in the 10 remaining home games, there is a reliance on free community attendees, AFC fans and now discounted tickets including to the Corporate Lounge.....Social media has seen fans banned for questioning decisions that have now been seen justifiably questioned and a toxic staff member has gone scorched earth on the way out the door. Nepotism in terms of the CEO's relationship with that ex-staff member are worth scrutiny IMHO, but won't because Hughes can't be bothered with any administrative tasks. Appeals for volunteers have fallen by the wayside due to the toxicity at the the club and we are hoping that we are better than Workington and Dewsbury.....and the mini-bus to Leigh seems to be a non starter...that's the depths that we have plummeted to.
In short, Hughes has overseen this decline, contributing with bad appointments and inept allocation of funds. In the 2009 hammering of Wire, we had 9 try scorers crossing 10 times with 10 conversions..... that's more of either than we've managed in 6 games so far this season.
Hughes will never admit he's wrong......even if you drew him a diagram of the fall under his ownership.....he'll NEVER concede it's been his doing
