Hasn't John Sharp got a role similar to that?

thats who I mean, that's what we used to call him "it all stops with"

I bet Hull make Lee Crooks an assistant to Andy Last and youth talent scout. He is an Ull lad and knows all the local amature RL teams and coaches. Youth development or similar is my guess.

If nothing else maybe he could show our front rowers how to break a tackle and offload the ball, I recall he was rather good a both.

ah right i get you now long day for me today

Is he?

from what i've been hearing Rovers cited a club for an illegal approach to Crooks before allowing him to leave. Could be an interesting twist to this one !

You can do that with players, not backroom staff.

I thought a contract was legal and binding for players and staff alike. I maybe wrong but i'm sure we have some legal boffins who can elaborate on this.

It is, but there is nobody to "cite" FC to about this, all they could do is undertake a private claim.
