Wasn’t we going to appoint him when Kear left, but Bradford quickly offered him the job there?
Wouldn’t want him here now. Hopefully it goes to someone not born in the HU postcode.

I've been thinking about this since Thursday and tbh I reckon Macnamara would be a good fit. Forget the Hull connection, I don't think he's the clique type. He's coached at the top level for some time now. He's also handled some really big names and bigger ego's at Catalan. His time in charge of the national team wasn't bad infact he was hard done too by the RFL who opted for a bigger name and failed miserably (bare that in mind). I reckon he'd go well here and more importantly he'd love the job. Don't dismiss him to easily.

To be fair Peter Sharp got us to our only GF appearance and was then shafted figuratively speaking by Kath along with the Cooke affair so he quit. Had he been left to do his job without having one hand tied behind his back I reckon he'd have moulded us into a decent team and would have got the best out of the players he had.
Peter Gentle was unfortunate in that he didnt know enough about the players in SL and AP at the time was still pretty green. AP had McRae who pretty much abused his position and gave poor advice to both AP and Gentle which ultimately came at the cost of Gentles job.
Now AP is much more knowledgeable with his own trusted contacts both her and in the southern hemisphere I think he would appoint the right candidate from Aus, NZ or the UK.
CC asides, I much more enjoyed watching hull under the past coaches you mentioned, bang on about sharp
Just watching the game again and to me weve got a problem with the hull born players, last thing we need is a hull born coach who could of misguided loyaltys to them

Those lot need big improvement
I do think certain ones thought or knew they were untouchable.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
