We shouldn't be making payments we don't have to, ex player or not.

I am absolutely gutted that Lee Crooks has left FC, I though he was doing a brilliant job!

So Hull have reportedly gotten rid of Lee Crooks and are not going to recruit anyone else in his position.



Tightening their belts?

No, making use of Moore.

Lee Crooks Hull FC legend..!!

thank you Lee for your help and hope you find a post that suits you very quickly..

Lets not knock the guy in any way as we would not anyone else who lost their job ..especially as its Lee!



The word is simply that moore has taken over the whole package and as he is regarded worldwide as the Messiah with junior players it makes perfect sense to me and expected as much when he joined.

His imput at the club has already been exemplary and a breath of fresh air by all accounts and nothing to do with drawing belts in at all, simply makes good business sense to remove a position we no longer need!!



again good luck Lee as I know you read this forum too

Should never have employed him imo.

the irony.

indeed, was a strange decision when we made it, and this indicates that someone has seen sense.

Youre right, we dont have to. But as i'm sure youre aware there are also benefits of paying people off in these kind of situations. If we back fill the role meaning its still there it wouldnt be redundancy anyway it would be some kind of compromise agreement, i would reckon we have strongly caveated it which may be the reason we've paid him a fee.

possibly



I don't see why we would need to backfill this season, Moore can do it.

Indeed. Depends what the thinking is around it. We have a fairly large team of coaches anyway, i'd imagine the responsibilty can just be spread around.

Hope this shows we are using Moore's obvious experience in the area of youth development. Don't need 2 blokes doing that whether it's Lee Crooks or anyone else. As for any office redundancies why should Hull FC be immune to the current economic climate ? Hopefully we are acting to preserve our profitable position.
