A lot of the opinions I've heard on podcasts have been pretty lazy.
The sport doesn't have an abundance of sporting administrators that can just walk in. We've taken a punt on someone who knows the sport and has a degree in sport and business.
It's a risk, but so is any appointment on or off field. Look at how much flack Wire got for appointing Burgess.
Anyone who knows Hull will know all about our cap issues and now we've appointed someone to take control of it. Plus we've been crying out for investors the last 12 months to help us get back to being a top club. Myler and the investors are obviously linked.
I didn't and don't see anyone complaining about when the club appointed Motu as the clubs D.O.R and many on here wanting him to come back yet he was no different to Myler in the fact he had little to no experience in the role of a D.O.R other than having a degree much like Myler has. We've also had much more experienced people who've made a pigs ear of things, also look at Leeds with one of the most experienced guys in Hetherington and the mess they've been in and still not out of the woods yet with their recruitment etc.
Either way we have someone in the role who has experience and knowledge within the game and is a far better option as D.O.R than having Clark or AP involved in that dept.
Also there is no escaping the fact as a club we are probably one of the most difficult sells in RL currently and even someone who could sell sand to the Arabs and ice to Eskimos would have trouble selling us as a club to prospective targets.
