The Wakey fans are really upset

Except for when you wrote 'McRae is a mistake', 'he's done nothing since he left Saints', indicating more of a misreading of the official statement and subsequent knee-jerk reaction, rather than putting forward a potential concern about the appointment.

The role he will fill has since been explained by afew people who actually read the official statement.

Anybody seen an icecreaman lately??

Last time i saw him he was posting off his CV to all RL clubs.

Least we don't have to worry about Agar staying if we win a game now

why don't you just ignore my posts, you appear to have some personal issue with me, which is totally unwarranted as you don't know me.

and he hasn't done anything since he left Saints.

the rovers fans might be yet

I think with pearson only just taking over and not having the greatest knowledge in the field of RL having a DOR will help him and take a little pressure off too.

He's melted..

my prayers have been answered!!
C'mon u Ullllaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

I went to McRae's leaving doo wonder if the club will get me a refund.

He hasn't won anything, but he's not coming here to be a coach.

There's no personal issue, you just write alot of rubbish on here that's all.

My mate ran on to the pitch at his last game to give him his scarf. I think he's hoping he'll bring it back!

in your opinion it's rubbish, but my opinion is my opinion, I don't pretend it's anything else.

so, respond to posts and not the poster in future, if you'd be so kind.

Good luck to Richard Agar. Hope Bomber's appointment turns out to be a good move (I'll reserve judgement). Peter Gentle: well he must be the most high profile assistant in the world, let's hope he can step up and meet the expectations of a hungry FC fanbase.

The king is dead, long live the king.

put those pills down!

Surely he will get at least 3 years (same as Agar) to prove himself before the fans turn on him??

This is brilliant news and music to my ears. Agar has come good these last few games but I put this down to the players giving him a good farewell (same as what is happening on the Darkside!)

Wonder where this leaves Jimmy Rule, is he needed now??

Surely AP and SM can do his job between them.

"Wonder where this leaves Jimmy Rule, is he needed now??

Yes sure James Rule is needed, he is Marketing / Commercial (not rugby organisational/direction matters)

Bomber is Director of Rugby (not Marketing/Commercial)

They are totally different roles.

Rule is primarily a marketing man and we need to continue our success on that side of the operation.

Don't forget that AP already has a full-time job and unless he is giving that up............?

I've supported Hull for too many years to worry about a coach leaving. I didn't want Buntig to leave but he did, I didn't want DDD to leave but he did, I didn't want Smith to leave but he did, I didn't want Royce Simmons to leave but he did, I didn't want Bomber to leave but he did, I didn't want Kear to leave and I didn't want Sharp to leave but they did. I wanted to see Agar have success and he still might this year. I'd briefly enjoy the irony but it's FC I support so I'll wish Agar well for the rest of the year and then I'll be hoping that "low-profile" Gentle scrubs up nicely for us next year and I'll support him as part of the club set-up.

Do we know how long he's signing for? Two years?

Well said Ante, a true level headed supporter

I know this is the start of a new era and one where for the first time in years we can look forward to a better seaon then the last. Its not going to happen overnight, but the foundations are looking good and Bomber is the man for the job for me to bring the best out of young players.

For to long the fans have accepted 2nd rate rugby and paid top whack for it, now it looks like we are getting a regime in that will take on the field performance as being important as the profit margin. Get the rugby right on the pitch and the club could draw in 16 -17 K every home game easily. I see no reason why James Rule will not continue at the club he has done a great job thus far. Having him at the helm would allow Bomber and Jimmy to run there part of the club, freeing up AP to maintain hi Tiger commitments whilst keeping a hand on the tiller.

Exciting times are around the corner I can feel it..............
