Exactly how I see it having read the club statement and seen Bombers comments about coaching just a few days ago.

I'm trying not to get carried away.

it's another transformation process, things don't happen overnight, days, or weeks, it may even be what have to write off another season, while the team of players (including new ones) get bedded in to the team, and the new coach stamps his philosophies into the team.

Either way, things are looking up.

Just remember, this is not a quick fix. There's some members on here that I suspect will be calling for a head soon, infact a fair few on here you can never please, from a true til i die Hull F.C fan, I'm very happy with this news, and I look forward to being with all you fans next season in the east stand/kc stadium cheering our boys on!

COME ON U HULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Same, I'm surprised anyone read it differently.

I don't think anyone has, I think people are just discussing their potential concerns.

Me too, whoever is to be the new Head Coach will tell McRae his wish list as to players/staff he wants then leave McRae to work with AP on the recruiting leaving the Head Coach to do the Coaching whilst working togther with the Head Coach on improving the structures within the club at all team levels.

Melbourne were the first side to have somebody fill this role in Frank Ponissi which has allowed Craig Bellamy to stick to coaching the side.

That's the conversation I had with my dad earlier, simplified Mcrae will wear a suit and the new man will be the tracksuit guy.

Provided they are comfortable with each other it should work well.

Except for when you wrote 'McRae is a mistake', 'he's done nothing since he left Saints', indicating more of a misreading of the official statement and subsequent knee-jerk reaction, rather than putting forward a potential concern about the appointment.

The role he will fill has since been explained by afew people who actually read the official statement.
