Given that it looks like Radford is not going anywhere anytime soon, and it's generally thought that he is lacking coaching staff, would bringing n Paul Cooke as an assistant strengthen us?.
I know he's highly thought of by AP, and it would free Lasty up to go back to his youth development work.

Radford was highly thought of by Pearson, & look where that's got us.
Pearson's had enough brain farts this season, without adding Judas to
`The Culture Club'

We don't need another assistant. A successful experienced coach is what is needed. Hull job was too big for Radders, he should be doing what Cookie is now.

For me absolutely "Never" we need a REAL coach, some-one with a few years of experience. I have the up-most

respect for A.P. for what he is trying to do for my club, but i wonder what he sees in Judas, who as only just started

in coaching at Donny, i hope to god he never lets that man any-where near Hullfc.

It would be the straw that broke the camels back for some supporters if it ever happened.

i keep saying it but should we change the coach we need to bring in a head coach who should be allowed to bring in ALL his new staff. we need to cut ties with the existing staff and do things exactly how the new man wants - this goes for playing staff too

Why? Oh, yeah. Because they're not quite clever enough to realise being a RL player is only a short-term career and only about 1% of them stay with the same club 'til retirement.

Jesus..........ATM no but you never know in future as he is learning his trade properly and as for the judas remarks...grow up,it's done and dusted and I bet he relises what a mistake he made.

Paul Cooke no thanks, he has hardy cut his teeth in coaching yet and he has far too much baggage.

Anyone around when we had Casey back as coach will remember what a raging success he was and I view Cookey in much the same way

i agree Doncar a proven coach is needed not some arrogant jumped up has been who sh&t on us big time let him go to Rovers in the future if he wants to coach in HULL,he is a Judas you are right people forgive to easy never grow up Doncar you are lovely as you are

Here here. I hope he never gets near the club again

If Cooke proved himself as a good coach after learning his trade and he made my club better through his coaching I couldn't give a to55 about the past, what's done is done. I would only be thinking of the progression of our team and hopeful improvement.
He is learning his trade and not making a bad fist of it so far but some people's bitterness just cloud their judgment.
Anyway it's all ifs buts and maybes but if Cooke could do the job and do it well not a problem for me.

Spot on.

Indeed. I believe it will happen one day, but for the sake of both parties when the time is right and the proper apprenticeship served. A few years off yet. Maybe he'll share his side of the cross-city transfer story in the meantime.

Great post. Agree completely.

He already has shared his side. Whether it's the whole story is a different matter.

Dual registration, video analysis...already pretty close, I'd have thought.

Well I'm sure he'll get nearer to the club than you. #alleged supporter.

Could probably do a better job then most of your halves.

I agree. I'm bothered about the future, not ancient history.

The guy well and truly ed the club up in a massive way but your all so desperate for even the slightest of success you'd happily take him back. Bet you'd all tread all over your family whilst trying to get off a crashed plane or a sinking ship. What a pathetic bunch of people you are

Was it Cooke's fault that Hull failed to adequately replace him?

Your analogy confirms who the pathetic one is.

Spot on. Wasn't pretty the circumstances in which he left but there's plenty of blame at FC's door as well.

Time to move on. It's in the past.

I would prefer him to get a grounding in the lower leagues before coming as an assistant, with a view to him taking over further down the line.

As a personal opinion (for which I wholeheartedly expect to be shot down for) I would like Karl Harrison to be given a shot. Whilst I'm too young to have seen Karl play, the stories I have heard talk about his professionalism and no - nonsense approach. He has relevant head coaching experience with both GB and Salford and seems to be doing a fair job at Fax.
