The highlighted bit makes it clear that Bomber will be an actual Director of Rugby - as in the member of the BoD with responsibility for the playing side of the club. This is not the usual DoR role as we normally see it in SL.

which is why I said "Director of Rugby Operations", responsibility for the youth set up as muh as anything, leaves Pearson with time to fulfill his role at City?

Not missing it just hope that everything has been made clear to all parties, i'm sure it has.

Very much like Phil Lowe at Rovers, he has the title of Rugby Director I believe.

Justin Morgan for me to replace Agar.

He has just applied to be a member at Hull GOlf Club, why would he do this if he wasn't staying in Hull?

Come on folks switch off Sky and lets get behind the team to help them beat Wire and finish above Rovers.

Totally agree. How many more will now attend our last game? Could be a big crowd.

we'll see, if it is then I wont renew my season pass, I'll pick my games as I don't know muh about Gentle and I really do not rate Last.

So you bought/renewed your pass for this season knowing Agar was going to be coach? But you won't renew for next year if Gentle is announced? Wow.

Yup. They probably missed a trick with the title as it has all sorts of less-than-positive associations in SL, but AP maybe wasn't aware of that.

Having another Director with overall responsibility for the playing side of the club leaves AP to do what he's best at - concentrating on the business as a whole - and also leaves time to fit in his current responsibilities with City. Bomber's most recent appearance on TV made it abundantly clear that he's not interested in coaching any more so it all fits together nicely IMO.

at least get the rumour right, last week it was that he had cancelled his membership but had changed his mind, and that he wasn't selling his house in Kirk Ella.

He could be coaching Wakey and still live in Hull!

Will the appointment have implications on Jimmy Rule? surely Mcrae will be taking on aspects previously assigned to him.

Renewed his membership is what I heard.

And that his daughter has just started at Hymers.
