Hopefully we can move on now and try and keep the remaining players who are off contract and get the club back to where it should be, we have the fan base and with the correct people being placed in senior roles within the club hopefully we can back to the top (Kate Hardcastle).

He is not unwilling to indicate his complete contempt for the muppets on Sky through his body language and some of his answers when being interviewed. It might not be pretty but I can't imagine Cummins or many other coaches actually having the balls to do it.

I know it seems an odd thing, but all the pictures of FC since he was given the head coaches' role have been of him in a suit, a stark comparison with him as assistant when he would be seen in a tracksuit.

To me, it just gives him an air of professionalism and I'm feeling a little more confident he can make this step up. It's going to be a tough ask given we've only got 16 players right now but I feel the future is getting a little brighter every day

Has anyone noticed how all the Hull coaching staff wear black suits & shirts? Andy Hay still looks like a plonker. You can't polish a turd (not meaning Cummins BTW).

I guess it's purely a matter of perception, but Smithy comes across as a rabbit caught in the headlights to me.



He may be in good company in regarding the Sky team as muppets but treating your employer's biggest sponsors and people you are contractually obliged to speak to as morons isn't the best way to act if you want to come across as a serious, deeply thinking professional who is on top of the job. It comes across as defensive to me, though as above, it's all perception and in the eye of the beholder.
