What absolutely amazing news! Mainly due to getting ridding of Pearson but also because finally the club will be owned by a rugby league man. The futures bright..... The futures black n white!

Agree with that - however it must be weird for JC reporting to Myler. Having a huge NRL coaching CV and working for Myler who has no experience and arrived as York's scrum half must be a bit odd.

Also do we know anything about Hood? I think I read he's from Buttershaw which is nearish to Odsal but no idea whether he has any RL interest

To be fair, we’ve all had experience of reporting to bosses who know less than us!

Enjoyed the forum, it flowed well and for the most part had some good questions raised, a refreshing change and hopefully something the club continues to host maybe twice a year.

They've got the priorities right, investing in the playing squad and backroom staff whilst reconnecting with the community game. Starting to win on the pitch will see things like the 'matchday experience' thrive off the back of it.

I genuinely think i'm now ready to forgive Richie Myler for cheating on Helen Skelton.

Apparently Hood is a good friend of Thirkhill and they have worked together on a few business ventures in the past. Whether he's got much interest in Rugby League I've no idea, but it would be a strange move for him if he didn't. A well run Hull FC can be profitable I'm sure, but the amounts you would be talking would be pocket change to a guy worth nearly half a billion. Surely he has an interest beyond simply making a profit.
