[quote="ComeOnYouUll":2bvkgc1g]Story here [url:2bvkgc1g]https://www.hullfc.com/blog/2025/01/09/richie-myler-becomes-chief-executive/[/url:2bvkgc1g][/quote:2bvkgc1g] I'm sorry but that feels like nepotism in its purest form. Director of rugby was pushing it.

Personally think he's doing a decent job as DOR, given what he was up against when he joined and also effectively learning on the fly. He's still finding his feet as a DOR and should have been left to continue gaining experience in this role, so to throw the job of Chief Executive his way on top of that aswell, a role which he will have even less experience and knowledge in, seems a truly bizarre choice. I'm sure AT is guiding him and mentoring him along the way, but would have preferred to see a more experience hire in this role. Learning 2 such important positions simultaneously will not be an easy feat for the guy and could very easily lead to dropping the ball somewhere.

Is he in effect doing what James Clarke was doing - wasn't he doing both roles?

I hope they bring in some specialists like marketing and finance as the office team has been pared to the bone I recently years

[quote="ComeOnYouUll":mq3q7c52]Is he in effect doing what James Clarke was doing - wasn't he doing both roles?[/quote:mq3q7c52] Seems so and that didn't end well. It's not great that Richie will be approving contracts he's drawn up himself, a good CEO would at least be asking the DOR some questions to sense to check that club aren't yet again entering a bad player deal. Do realise that sometimes a Head Coach will demand a certain player regardless of what the DOR and/Or CEO think though.

Maybe Thirkill will be a little more hands on in his Chairman's role than we originally thought.

What’s also written in the Mail is the concept of Swap Deals as it’s pretty damn obvious that Salford need a playing squad !!! That got me thinking real hard ! Lane Fash Sao - surely we can swap these guys out !! Didn’t I read on here someone suggesting Lane as a Marquee signing ? I nearly internally combusted ! Surely we can swap some bang average players out and create some more cap space The League suggesting we can take on an extra Overseas signing if helping Salford and extra salary cap. Interesting to say the least Off load Sao Fash and Lane and get 4 forwards lol

[quote="RockNRolla":2huxlsi0]I'm probably in the minority in saying i wouldn't be too disappointed if we miss out on Sneyd. We already have an organising 7 in Sezer. Would prefer Nikorima for a season and go all out for Will Pryce for next year.[/quote:2huxlsi0] Wouldn't Pryce potentially block the pathway of Charles?

[quote="weaver93":1tm6p7kz]Wouldn't Pryce potentially block the pathway of Charles?[/quote:1tm6p7kz] I’d think they’re different enough to think that long term could be great partnership but from what I’ve seen Pryce could end up playing fullback also. With Pryce though I think it sounds like he’s still got a future in Aus and has impressed in parts. He’s not established himself as starter like KPP but think he just has to work on defence a little, can’t see why he’d want to come back he’ll get opportunities at Newcastle don’t yet have a settled and established first choice 6 and 7.

They are also very keen on a new halfback. I'd like to think if we signed him (which I don't think we will), he would play 6 and Charles and Kemp would be looking to replace Seizer. We definitely need to keep an eye on the Salford situation, it's sad what's happening, but other clubs won't hand around.
