The club could have been unambiguous, and still posted the story in a positive light.
The way they’ve presented the story is classic James Rule style.
Just have be honest. It’s not difficult.

Those people saying he will eventually come here full time, why would he leave Manly ? It sounds like an opportunity for him to earn some extra money from a mate while keeping his main job in a much bigger market with much better resources, plus getting some free flights home from time to time. I just hope he is committed to the role, its not going to be easy doing a full days work then coming home and doing more. Especially for 3 years.

Are you OK?

The investment in the off field staff will be just as vital as any on field signing. It’s really been neglected over the last few years.
At least Myler is trying to do something about it.

It reminded me a little of Scarborough when I visited, albeit without any stiff North Sea breeze rolling in to your face! Plus it was considerably neater and tidier than any East Yorkshire seaside town I've ever been to!! And sunnier and warmer!
It must be very nice to live and work in the area (I was last there in November 2012), heaven knows why anyone would want to give it up for the chance to work near the glorious muddy Humber!! 
The ferry trip from Sydney central out to Manly is enjoyable enough in its own right, although maybe you get used to it if you are taking it every day, either way it sure beats having to navigate your way around Hull City centre at any time of the day!!!

I found this interview with Steve Michaels pretty heartening. Trouble is I'm starting to think that if our new coach joins the ever increasing line of failures in that position, I doubt anyone can sort us out. He appears to be our best hope and will prove to be I hope an inspired appointment!

Certainly feels like the last chance saloon to finally instill a good culture at the club.
If Cartwright can't turn it round, not sure what options will be left to try!

Depends what people want/expect Cartwright to do?
Will we be a top 4 team? No. I imagine we'll still be a bottom 6 team, but I'd like to think we'll be 'in' more games next year.
Last season was the perfect storm, a coach at the end of his shelf life and an incredibly bad recruitment cycle. No way we are that stinky next year.

we just need someone strong to set an expectation and for everyone in the club to buy in. The FIFO principle
It can be turned around quickly if people are prepared to make some difficult decisions along the way.
We've had a succession of weak coaches or ones who basically let the players set the tone and that needs to change

I hopeful it shows that the board at Hull FC have finally found that missing piece of the puzzle and realised the importance of having a top quality Coach with a proper back room staff.
Think it was blatantly obvious early on under Smith he wasn't the right man along with Gene, for me desire was severely lacking in him and that emanated and festered throughout the club which already had issues with attitude/application.
Looking at things objectively with the information to hand Cartwright is a proven and strong Coach who has been and is still very influential at the top level of the game, he is known to be very knowledgeable of game as a whole, being a good communicator, man manager, a Coach that commands respect and does not suffer fools or people who are not prepared to put in the required effort be it during a game, training or club matter.
I'm hopeful with the arrival of Cartwright the dog will now finally wag it's tail as opposed to the tail wagging the dog.
I think the majority of fans expectations are and will be realistic for 2025 with most not expecting to challenge for a top 6 spot. I think in general we all want to see improvement in the basic skill set, the little effort areas & discipline for example along with evidence of structure being implemented in to the fabric of the on field side of the club.
Time will tell I guess if the rebuild process will be a success, but as always hope springs eternal.
