We know how well that went!

Any appointment should be ability, not nationality, based. (in my view)

Quote Mrs Barista="Mrs Barista"The other point to note is the relative cost of these established NRL coaches and their backroom teams. The NRL has had to impose a cap on spend on football departments- excluding player salaries; the average club spend is 6.3 million Aus dollars or £3.4m. Little wonder we see so few genuine top current Aussie coaches here. Craig Bellamy for example is on $1.7m p.a. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.smh.co ... xpi4i.html Obviously you can dip into the assistant / out of work ex coaching pool. Again, sometimes this works and if it does they're off back to Aus pretty quickly. More often it doesn't, obviously. Not to say it's a bad idea, just pointing out that making the generalisation that this would guarantee improvement is flawed.'" Well the ones that are here are not doing so bad are they,top two teams by a mile. Leeds and Huddersfield on the up also

Leeds, on the up?

Five of the bottom six have a head coach from Down Under.

Given some of Hulls results over the past 12 months it's fairly obvious that Radfords position will be under scrutiny. Same with Sheen's across the river.

Worth noting though that on the Forty 20 live podcast last night, a journalist claimed/stated that a big off field story is about to break at Hull FC that will be having a destabilising effect.

In short, we don't always know the circumstances that a coach is working under. Best to maybe cut a bit of slack until the news emerges.

I think 90% of the forum have deduced there’s problems behind the scenes, the problem is without club information, rumours run rife.

Seemed to me he was alluding to financial issues.

Like they cant pay to get Hull Fc Live back up and running

Could he have the wrong club, Crossland has just quit at Rovers?

Now that Crossland has gone, leaving Pearson and Hudgell in sole charge of our respective clubs it is going to be very interesting to see how closely aligned they make us.

My prediction is that inside 12 months both Clubs, along with COHA will be sharing a training base. From there, who knows..

Wash your mouth out son, don’t even go there. There’s only one place a merger would go, straight down the Humber via a pan.

Do we have financial issues? Someone mentioned pearson had said he was looking for investment in the club and he's not been heard of in the media for some time now. Wouldn't surprise me TBH. We've been cutting pretty much every budget at the club for some years now
