So if Hull Live are correct and it is Myler as the DOR (didn't see that one coming!) and it is linked to a potential investor, does that mean that the investment is closer than AP said it was last night? Surely we don't make this kind of appointment on good faith?

Jesus Christ…people on here wanting change etc etc and we do it by 2 players going,the coach going and a DOR coming in and investment and yet they still moan.

I wonder what would happen if this is linked to investment, and it turns out Myler is awful at the job. Would we have to keep a clueless guy on board for fear of any investment been pulled.

At least he’s a man of real integrity who never went missing on the pitch or from his marriage.

Does any ex-player know what it’s like being a DOR and as for Peacock..couldn’t give a monkeys about him not doing it..Did Blease know what he was doing and he has turned out good at it….Lets just see how it goes eh

Or cheats by feigning injury.

Lets just give him a chance. To my mind he's better placed to understand players needs and the recruiment process than James Clarke. Myler has considerable contacts in the game at least.

One thought - if he's going to play as well does that mean he negotiates his salary with himself?

And make himself captain for the rest of the season?

Peacock was thick as pig shirt and seemed more interior growing his own business than doing anything for rovers. Myler can't be as bad.

Interesting appointment. Could be great, could be a disaster. Let's hope its the former. No doubt we'll end up signing a few of his former team mates

Problem is he’s not even an ex player. These so called contacts are a myth. A big challenge with that as well is nobody really liked him as a player.

You’ve gained nothing in which you didn’t have with smith bar a reputable character not know for all the things you’d want in a DOR. Some might be comfortable with that knowing a money man comes with, if it was my club I think I could accept that, but to pretend it’s a good appointment on the basis of what he will bring to the role is disingenuous at best. You can’t be that starved of positivity people clutch at these straws.

Your man Tarquin has got it right, all about the money but putting somebody in this position could do more damage than could. All will be revealed I guess

You sound a bit rattled.

As far as I remember Motu Toney had no experience when he took on the role at Hull. If Myler works out as well as him …. I’ll be happy

I was just going to say the same thing .Everyone has to start somewhere ,Big job for a first timer though !

Stinks this one given his link to a possible investor
That has to be the worst appointment ever given the job title
Maybe playing seven next week

Difference is Motu knew a lot of players in Australia and NZ and thats really what we need.
This appointment is a joke

So, in the space of less than another 24 hours, we can now add a new DOR alongside (seemingly) new, possibly major, investment coming into the club to the list above!

If there is one thing you can say about us, we are never boring or without incident! There always seems to be something going on around us, good, bad or indifferent!

The ability of our club to throw regular unforeseen curve balls never ceases to amaze me!!

Don't trust Davidson at all, sure he was the one saying qe where signing French

Torn on the Myler situation myself. Personally, I want someone with experience in that position right now. I feel we need someone that knows what they are doing to help us restructure and get things right. No disrespect to Myler as he may turn out to be fantastic in the role and I will gladly eat my words if he is, but it feels like a gamble.

But I can accept it if it's part of the investment and the investor wants their own man in place as part of the deal. Otherwise, I feel like AP should be looking at other options. If we're gambling on putting Myler in place to tempt Thirkill into investing and he ends up not doing so... well that would be a typical Hull FC move really!

How do you know Myler doesn’t know players over there? You talk as if Motu had a recent career over there working with this players. He’d been in England since 2004 so most of the players he’d have been around would have retired when he got his role.

It would be good to get a couple of those potential investors to come in together.

Your the joke….you ask for change and it’s happening,if the new investor is Mylers father in law and he is worth £160million…you would moan that he isn’t worth £161million…Myler played with loads of players from down under and pacific isles at Wire,Catalans and Leeds and may have kept in touch and have contacts.

To be honest Myler isn’t a name I’d had down on any possible candidates however I’m happy to give him a chance and he’s is a huge step up from Clark and he at least has knowledge of the game. I think we also have to take in to account we aren’t going to get a top DOR that’s any good less than halfway through the season. He may also just be a temporary solution?
It is possibly also one of the criteria for the investment which is badly needed so beggars can’t be choosers as we aren’t what you class as an attractive proposition currently.

Let’s see what the bigger picture is as the changes progress. I for one am happy that the club and Adam seem to be acting and making the changes that even Stevie Wonder could see were needed.

Its agents you talk to in the modern game

Hello its Richie Myler
Who?
Richie Myler
Who?

So why does it matter that Motu Tony knows loads of players over there is it’s all about knowing agents?
