Re: Agar Gone/McRae Appointed DOR : Tue Sep 06, 2011 4:10 pm  

I know this is the start of a new era and one where for the first time in years we can look forward to a better seaon then the last. Its not going to happen overnight, but the foundations are looking good and Bomber is the man for the job for me to bring the best out of young players.

For to long the fans have accepted 2nd rate rugby and paid top whack for it, now it looks like we are getting a regime in that will take on the field performance as being important as the profit margin. Get the rugby right on the pitch and the club could draw in 16 -17 K every home game easily. I see no reason why James Rule will not continue at the club he has done a great job thus far. Having him at the helm would allow Bomber and Jimmy to run there part of the club, freeing up AP to maintain hi Tiger commitments whilst keeping a hand on the tiller.

Exciting times are around the corner I can feel it..............

Good Luck Rich you worked really hard and tried everything you knew but it wasn't enough for our club the right decision has been made for both parties.

I'll admit to been a little underwhelmed when I heard Mcrae's name mentioned as DOR but hopefully like others have mentioned its more of a office based role looking at the overall football side of the business. He cannot be allowed to get involved with the coaching side of the club because what decent head coach would be comfortable with that?

At this moment in time I will trust that AP knows what he is doing and as got everything sorted. The goos thing about Mcrae's time at Hull was his recruitment for me he said some very good overseas players.

Sounds good to me. Bomber certainly is not afraid to put the youngsters in. Lets hope his choice of coach has similar views.

He does and he is media friendly as well which will raise the clubs profile, Rich Agar did not come across too well on either tv or radio IMHO.

Knowing Bomber I reckon it is Peter Gentle

He will know him and it vital that they work together, I can not see Morgan or Noble working with Bomber as sort of boss. These guy have been top flight coaches too long to accept anyone around who could undermine them if he felt they where doing the job wrong.

Yeah i said the same thing myself regarding Noble/Morgan.

I am personaly pleased Bomber has returned to the fold,as has been pointed out,his knowledge of the game is an asset.If he stays in his suit in his office,I can`t see how he can fail. He has said himself he doesn`t want the stress of coaching anymore.I believe he has stated as such in this weeks League Weekly.
A decent coach and we are sorted.

Re: Agar Gone/McRae Appointed DOR : Tue Sep 06, 2011 4:43 pm  

Pleased to see Bomber back in the right role for him. Expect Gentle to be the new coach.

Re: Agar Gone/McRae Appointed DOR : Tue Sep 06, 2011 4:45 pm  

Not to forget that McRae already has experience at Hull as a DoR (he was in 2004, with Kear as First Team coach). It's not an entirely new role to him, and that was a pretty successful season for us (until McRae had to go down under due to the loss of his father IIRC). we were 2nd at the time.

I'm absolutely delighted to have Bomber back. Always been one of my favourite RL people and I'm really looking forward to having him back as part of FC again.
