Can just see it now......

Hull start off the season with 5 straight wins. We don't start off all that well. All off a sudden everyone saying we should have appointed Gentle and kept the slug on board.

I am just speechless how like mentioned above there are 18 pages on the hull forum about him,it is as if the bloke is some sort of living legend/god type figure over there !!! did we miss out on something in the near 4 terrible/miserable/depressing/lack lusture/ etc etc years he was head coach of our beloved club or what??

The fans will stop singing `Old faithful` - Their new hymn will be `Old Stressful`.

Aye we love bomber over here, good guy and we played some real class rugby with him in charge, also it sounds like he won't have much involvement in coaching, he will be more involved with bringing youth through (which hasn't happened for a little while) and advising our owner and will be heavily involved in signing and resigning players that our new coach wants. Leaving our new coach to focus solely on playing matters.

The guy is an expert in playing up and coming home grown players in there wrong positions and has a natural talent for pixxing his teams supporters off. Another huge talent is his ability on using statistics to enhance his team further On the whole he probably dragged our club back another ten years during the three and a half years he was here. Personally i think we have improved more in the last 7 weeks than we did under his time here. Would not wish for him to be let loose on any team , anywhere Only positive is he (hopefully ) wont be on sky as much

he didn't appear to do much coaching here and avoided the youth infact he forced many good young players away, could only come up with one game plan for all teams and had no idea about the opposition.
Good luck to you at Hull.

The criticism of Shaun McRae on here is massively overdone.
I wish him well in his new role

The difference between the mcrae when he was at hull fc as head coach and then salford was the standard of players! At hull we had quality playrrs like jason smith, richie barnett, swain, mcmenemy, unlike salford who had the odd individual who shone! we played the most entertaining rugby in years with bomber in charge, including a whipping of your own team

Mcrae will have nothing to do with the first tesm coaching, he will be pesrsons advisor with his contacts in the game
