Hull FC • CULTURE?

With respect, I think in the context of modern day professional sport you are being over simplistic. A sports club nowadays has to consider recruitment, retention, marketing, administration, financial management, HR management, player welfare, youth development etc. Whilst I would agree that the focus of it all is a group of (often) working class lads (and lasses) wining first team matches, this can only be achieved on a sustainable level through the presence of a positive, professional culture throughout the club. Even with a good culture the team may not win on a match day but by having it you are building the pathway to giving the club sustainable success. Another discussion point might be how do we measure success as a club?
