That, as i said, is far removed from abuse or hate.

Exactly this. There are a lot of people on their high horse at the moment about this hate that Grix supposedly got slung his way but has it ever been that way or is that the narative that these people are pushing. Yes we heard a lot of people wanting a change at coach but abuse? I honestly have not heard or seen any abuse thrown his way.

Same at every sporting club, it's not just a Fax thing. Its probably more magnified because we are a smaller community so its easier for voices to be heard when we have so few fans.

I have not bought into the abuse accusations. But what I find funny is the inference from some of you that only now is the time you believe he should go when you were clamouring for this a few years back and it's as if you have been waiting for this moment since.

Let’s remember with most of this forum and roughly five people on Facebook not being the biggest fans of Grix that equates to about 15 people . The core fan base is about 1500 so that’s about 1% , it’s just that the 1% shout the loudest.

Personally I thought we made a mistake appointing him, I probably said it at the time if anyone can be rsed to go back through my posts and you are right, I imagine this isn't the first time that I have thought or said that I think we need a change. But so what? It's not like I take great delight in him failing, I want to watch the best version of Fax that I think is possible, its just that I am of the opinion that we can do a lot better than we are doing now and he has run his time at the club. Its hardly like people were staking out his house with banners calling for him to leave.

He is going to love Hull then if they don't do well.

He won’t be in the limelight as an assistant coach ( and they’re multiple assistant coaches)so your point is mute .

From the Dewsbury site, reading the post from Coolie, it's not just Fax fans who thought we had underperformed or thought that Grix was a touch fortunate at times to keep his job as long as he did.

Yeah maybe you are right and getting interviewed live during a TV game with hundreds of thousands of viewers isn't really comparable to an interview for FaxTv. This must be some other Hull to the one that Ive known, he is going to have to develop a dam sight more thicker skin over there if we are saying that 15-30 people have forced him out of Fax(which I don't for one minute think is the case but some people on Facebook would have you believe it).

Looks like the Dewsbury fans love Liam Finn, and being a Fax lad he would be a perfect fit I suppose. Plus he's actually had head coach experience which counts for a lot. Cannot think of any other candidates at this stage. John Kear, even though I've always rated him, is too old and judging by his last couple of sackings at Bradford and Widnes might have lost his mo jo anyway. Maybe James Ford, who was once touted as a possible SL coach after doing well at York but I think he was sacked in the end so maybe not. Also he seems happy being out of the limelight ever since (assistant at Wakey, now backroom staff at fev). Don't know what Brian McDermott is doing at the mo.

Would like to see Widdop as a playing assistant. Not sure if he's really settled at Cas. I remember watching Cas - v Hull in the CC and Widdop threw out a pass which was intercepted ..... heard someone in the crowd shout "you're s**t Widdop". Big wow I hear you say, but little nuggets like that might tell a general ill feeling from the "volatile" cas folk who might think an ex-NRL-er is underperforming.

Fortunately I’m banned from that forum .

“Never underestimate a small group of stupid people shouting loudly.”

So managed to read it via privacy mode , basically one fan thinks we played crap against Batley which is obvious then you go on to say Liam Finn was the mastermind of last season not Grix . If ever there was an award for false narrative champion I think you would be lifting the Oscar pal .

That’s a valid point , sloth from the goonies was quite obviously the loudest in that classic movie .

How did you manage to get banned from there?

Had an argument with fev fan about Dave singer , a child hood friend and it escalated.

Problem with the internet, people think they can just say what they want when the reality is most wouldn't say it to your face.

Aye I know the feeling.

I see this as good timing for both parties Simon gets a good job as understudy to Smith at hull and we get a fresh start for next year which for me is a good thing because i think he had taken us as far as he could. As for people wanting him out for the past 3 years i have already admitted that i got it wrong calling for him to go at that point but as for now i think it is the right time for him and us.

Well here’s to you mr Robinson, durgan loves you more than them .

What’s people’s opinion on luke Robinson as the new coach.

Danny Ward anybody??

I’d definitely be happy with Luke or Danny at Fax. I’d lean a little towards Danny Ward if I had the choice. Whoever comes in we need a decent assistant with them.

Danny Ward with Luke Robinson as assistant wouldn't be a bad set up.

Danny Ward an experienced head coach, Luke on a part time basis could still do his day job at Huddersfield (I think he is still employed there).
