Who was the coach of our club you was happy with ?

Peter Gentle (if he'd been allowed to do what he wanted), before him, John Kear (although he was too pally), before him McRae was OK if not my cup of tea as a person, Cleal could have been much better in different circumstances, Smith was good but came at a price.

Gutted we've never managed a Swain, Hasler, Kearney type player coming in as coach.

I think you're right. But with the vitriol against him from the fans across the airwaves of Humberside and alike at the time I think the then Board blinked.

The beachouse was too much of a draw but I liked him also.

Why do people always post a question like that as some kind of justification for keeping dross or recruiting poorly? Do agents ever ring you up offering you players? Can you give me a list of who is available? How much will the club pay salary and transfer fee wise? It's such a shiit question that anyone who poses it should be shot

sharps' recruitment and retention was awful but I've never known if that was down to him or hetherington. it's well documented they didn't get on

I wouldn't be surprised if Kath was signing who she wanted, Sharp just coached them. He did like his utility players, but I think he's the best coach we've had in years.
We could have kept Matty Head if it wasn't for Kath.

I've said on here before that I think Head is the best scrum half we've had in the Superleague era, but his knees were shot to pieces. After he left us he managed 20 games in 2 seasons before hanging up his boots. Wouldn't have been the answer.
