| So what happens if Myler splits up with his investor partner? Does he release all our marquee players and give Okunbor a 10 year deal out of spite?

| Let’s hope we give Myler a chance instead of bagging him straight away in typical Hull FC style.

Isn't it amazing as a Rovers fan how much negative information you have on Hull, its almost like you have an agenda

| To me, the appointment can’t not be linked to future investment.
Doesn’t mean he won’t do well though.
Seems to have rattled Dobbins fans anyway, so all good.

| Two positives for me
We have someone who understands rugby making rugby decisions
It probably comes with investment allowing us to invest in players including marquee players aswell as a new coach.
Definitely has some potential negatives, but for me, more positives than negatives.
People with money, do not like making bad investments.

A lot of the opinions I've heard on podcasts have been pretty lazy.
The sport doesn't have an abundance of sporting administrators that can just walk in. We've taken a punt on someone who knows the sport and has a degree in sport and business.
It's a risk, but so is any appointment on or off field. Look at how much flack Wire got for appointing Burgess.
Anyone who knows Hull will know all about our cap issues and now we've appointed someone to take control of it. Plus we've been crying out for investors the last 12 months to help us get back to being a top club. Myler and the investors are obviously linked.

It might amaze you Dave but there is such a thing as a Rugby League supporter. I try to watch both teams in our city and occasionally outside the area usually as a guest of a sponsor. I notice you are quick to judge posters who don't agree with your position in all things FC.
I don't feel the need to explain but will just say i have good contacts at both Rovers and FC and also a few in the amateur game which i also follow.

I didn't and don't see anyone complaining about when the club appointed Motu as the clubs D.O.R and many on here wanting him to come back yet he was no different to Myler in the fact he had little to no experience in the role of a D.O.R other than having a degree much like Myler has. We've also had much more experienced people who've made a pigs ear of things, also look at Leeds with one of the most experienced guys in Hetherington and the mess they've been in and still not out of the woods yet with their recruitment etc.
Either way we have someone in the role who has experience and knowledge within the game and is a far better option as D.O.R than having Clark or AP involved in that dept.
Also there is no escaping the fact as a club we are probably one of the most difficult sells in RL currently and even someone who could sell sand to the Arabs and ice to Eskimos would have trouble selling us as a club to prospective targets.

It would amaze me if you liked Hull FC in any way, honestly can't remember you posting anything positive about Hull amd you seen to appear with a negative slant of anything Hull related.
No problem with people who disagree, but I'll challenge ill-informed opinions with nothing to back it up or fans with obvious bias.

| Have heard that, of the three names shortlisted by Myler, one has become a preferred/favourite for the job and that an approach has been made. Sadly no names mentioned.

I still hope for Briers, think he is the most realistic out of the decent coaches that have been linked.
Don't think Holdbrook will come, turned down Warrington who are a bigger draw than us.
Don't think Salford will let Rowley go, we will pay a big fee and not sure he would leave.
No doubt there will be some wildcards, probably not mentioned on here.

The tone of which it was told indicated that they are currently employed, I would therefore suspect it would be for next season, and that Grix will see out the remainder of Season, with the new appointment working with Myler in the background on recruitment etc.

| Quote: Chris71 "I'm open minded on the D.O.R/Myler situation, ok yes he lacks experience in the role, but will certainly have important contacts within the game and he'll know how the game works both on and off the field in terms of players/agents etc. We've had two very experienced people in McRae & Smith at the club and failed dismally in player recruitment/retention and its notable our most successful spell in SL era came under the inexperienced Motu Tony who didn't do too shabbily.
It's also not just about contacts within the game that's important these days but also in the wider world of business, which Myler has access too.
It may or may not work but as we have seen at Hull FC there are simply no guarantees whichever road we travel but its clear something needed doing in terms of radical change and we are seeing that, time will tell if it works or not but do feel looking at things as a whole we are already in a much better position.'"
you can make a case for anyone coming into the role but it doesnt mean its a good appointment
