Does anybody else feel as though they have had a massive weight lifted off their shoulders?

People questioning Mcrae baffle me. when he came to our club we were a shambles possibly going out of business. That was late 1999 i have a dvd on the 2003 season and we were tremendoes with great vision and pace, the two Smiths, Barnett, Prescott, Best, other players he brought in later Briscoe, Mcmenamy,Swain and more. He left us with a very good academy and exciting squad, Kear took over and won the challenge cup the next season, but with mcraes players.
As supporters, think back to the 2005 league performances under Kear and they were dull at times with the same squad. To say he has won nothing since he left sts is factually correct, but his legacy at Hull is still with us today but fading fast after poor coaching choices. At Salford the directors asked him what position they would finish, he replied how much will you spend and i will tell you. They spend nowhere near the cap, so they are were they are near the bottom. Could any coach have done any better at Salford under the same circumstances ?

This clears a lot up, have snipped the best bits out http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html Keen to discuss both his remit from Pearson and his plans for the club Refreshed and ready for the next chapter of his life, he says he has no intentions of returning to coaching. "When I made my mind up that I wasn't going to coach anymore, I started to look for something else which would keep me in the game. "This is the logical step and I think I can utilise my experience. "Adam sees a role for someone with experience in rugby league and I have that experience. "I know how the game works and I think I can help, alongside Adam and the new coach, in taking the club forward." McRae is already working alongside Pearson to recruit both a new coach and new players. McRae wouldn't be drawn on who the new man is, but he is adamant that whoever he appoints will be left to get on with the job of coaching without any interference from him. "As I said earlier, I have no intention of coaching anymore and I'll not be interfering on that front," says McRae. "I have a clearly-defined role from Adam and that is to run the football programme. "It is my job to support Adam and be the conduit for the staff and the players."I see my role as being a mentor and being there to help and educate, not to tell people how to do their job. It is down to me to employ the right people who know how to do their job, and then be there to provide support if they need it. "I'm not here to coach in any capacity and I wouldn't have taken on the role under any other circumstances."

Nah, you're wrong. McRae inherited a very good squad and won nothing with them, it wasn't until Kear took over that we were any good. Trevor on the radio said so.

If it is true that Agar offered to resign after the Wakefield home game, then he has gone way up in my estimation.

Amazing how the rumour has only come out now he's no longer required.
