Good news,

Welcome back Shaun, will help stable the ship and take duties off the coach to leave them to do what they do best

Thanks Richard, a few good times , not many but you took us as far as you could

Absolute same sentiments. Thank you Rich, and best of luck in whatever role you take on next.

Does anyone know where Jake lives/works? I'm worried he might have had heart attack with all the excitement! Either that or he'll be blubbering in a corner somewhere overwhelmed.

I've just got so excited I think a bit of wee came out. I dread to think what sort of state Jake The Peg is in!

Good luck Rich.
Thanks for your honesty and hard work.

A new brush sweeps clean, onwards and upwards.

What a load of old twaddle!!
Why cant you just say it how it is? the bloke maybe a nice guy, but was totally useless coach, took us back years, wasted the last 3 seasons, and to have only have to his credit bringing through only 2 youngsters, one of them not even from hull is a disgrace. Good riddance and thanks for nothing!
Said weeks ago on here that Bomber was coming back as DOR, great news, top top bloke, lets hope he can get in the top 1st team coach that we deserve!!!

Don't think this smile is leaving my face for a long time

WOOOOOOOOOOO FOOOOOOOOOOOKKKING HHOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buzzing

To be honest I'm a little sad that it didn't quite work out for Rich, I really wanted it too. All the best for the future to him, I don't think anyone can argue that he worked hard for our club.
Having said that I'm glad Bomber is in at DOR. He understands what Hull FC '[iis[/i' and more importantly he knows how rugby should be played. He'll find the right coach.

Bet there's a few twitchy ringpieces amongst the Wakey fanbase.

Forgetting Mr Agar for a second (Which shouldn't be very hard to do) lets think a little objectively about this appointment.

McRae seems to have failed everywhere he's been since Hull. He was also very close to retirement at the end of this season. That all appears to be bravado now but still, if he had, I wouldn't have been too surprised.

I don't want to come across harsh on the man, he's the first FC coach I can truly remember. As a kid I thought he was the knees of a bee, but I'm a little unsure now as to his credentials.

Maybe I just don't know what a DOR [iactually[/i is and I'm a little confused about his role. That might be creating the doubt.

Will the new coach be working under him? If so, will every candidate want to do that?

Agar is gone.

However a little restraint might be in order.

Can we fully clarify what he'll do, recruitment aside, 'Shaun will be responsible for all aspects of the playing side at the club' seems a little vague to me.

the time is right for a change and was almost inevitable once Adam took over, thanks for all you`ve done Richard and good luck in whatever you do in the future

Is Mr Gentle FC bound.

That was a whole two hours ago!
