Lee Radford's last ever game will be against Bradford on January 29th (I think date is correct) In his words to me "poetic ending".

I agree to an extent, particularly about Hall as I think Agar treated him appallingly. However I've never been convinced that Hall's mentality has been right to make it in SL, and that might be explained to an extent by the preparation he received in his younger days. The same idea can apply to Lynn, yes Agar can't have helped by doing that to him, but on the other hand, if that was all it took to ruin his confidence then what does that say about his mental preparedness in the first place?

According to Chester yeah.

and to be the new assistant coach to peter gentle

not a bad move for lee as he is well respected within the team

I have mixed feelings t.b.h.,but know doubt he will kick ass when needed.

The one and only good thing about this appointment is that we get rid of another very very average player from the squad. That has to be a good thing and was probably McCrae's first consideration.

Bomber has now "got rid of" Dowes, Radford, Washboard and Lauaki who were all just passengers in an already average looking squad.

Well done Bomber !! (We now need two forwards and a right centre though)

tbh we have needed an assistant who is respected on and off the field and knows hull backwards and imo we didnt get that with webster

Think that is a little unfair on Webster,from what I have seen of him nobody can accuse him of not being committed to his task.
Although I still think his heart was with Rovers.

Could they at least change the picture of the new assistant coach of Hull FC on the website.

A picture of a toothless skinhead as our new assistant with a link below him.

Only in Hull.

How do people know how " respected " he is within the team ? Or are you guessing because he was the captain ?

Wouldnt have been my choice personally.

My only reservation is that both our Head and Assistant are new to their job roles and have limited experience in their new roles. Although both are obviously talented, their inexperience could be a drawback.

Gentle, inexperienced?!?!?!?!?

Mine either.

Could not of being the coaches decision

I'm actually surprised he's got the time inbetween running his bars.

As a head coach, yes

As a coach, not at all

Great news that he has retired.

Shocking news he is somehow still involved within the club.

Most of the people on here who are praising his appointment are just giving generic reasons such as 'respected'.

What are his credentials to be the number 2 in a side which in Pearson and Gentles words are wanting to challenge for honours ?

I was hoping that with Gentle and McRae coming in would give us a clean sweep of all of the backroom staff however these 3 appointments just reek of jobs for the boys.
