Could the appointment of our new assistant manager be our biggest signing of the window? Any thoughts on who it could be?

Ex-Manchester United and Everton coach Steve Round in frame for Hull City job Hull City are hoping the imminent arrival of a new assistant coach will help to freshen the club up for the second half of the season. Tigers boss Steve Bruce has been looking for a new right-hand man since the departure of Steve Agnew to Middlesbrough on December 23. City did manage to pick up six points from the nine on offer since Agnew left, with wins over Sunderland and Everton lifting them to 15th place in the Premier League table. However, City need to pick up another 20 to stave off the threat of relegation and Bruce believes the arrival of a new voice at the club’s Cottingham training ground can help to do that. He has already admitted speaking to “one or two” candidates, with former Everton and Manchester United assistant Steve Round known to be under consideration. But a short-list will be finalised this week in the hope of making an appointment as soon as possible. Whilst coaches Keith Bertschin and Stephen Clemence have enjoyed greater responsibility in the wake of Agnew’s departure, Bruce has also been proactive at training. Having exited the FA Cup with a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on Sunday, all of his attention is on this weekend’s trip to relegation rivals West Brom. A trip to West Ham follows the Baggies test, but a 14-day period will then precede the arrival of Newcastle on January 31 and City want a new assistant coach in place to lead training and provide fresh ideas during those two weeks. The mini backroom shake-up is the second to affect the club this season, following the departure of analyst Laurence Stewart, who joined Manchester City as their Head of Performance Analysis in summer. City have since promoted his number two, Dean Hughes, and brought in a new analyst. They now believe they can effect a positive change on the field by appointing an assistant who will bring the best out of what is arguably their best-ever squad. http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Ex-M...tory-25817278-detail/story.html#ixzz3O7lvVk6t
It seems to me that since Agnew left, Brucey has taken over part of the coaching role himself, as he has admitted in his last few interviews. Since Agnew has left we have won 2 in 3 games, do we really need a new assistant manager? I would stick with how it is, it's working so far.
What about someone who is a manager but currently unemployed helping out until the season is over in a coaching capacity. Then reassess our options. Maybe connections with Bruce already. David Lee, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Paul Ince?
Steve Round was best know for having a Q tip cellotaped to the side of his face. He was at Goodison for years and we never quite figured out what the hell he ever did.
He isn't a unemployed manager as far as I am aware and not what I was suggesting unless we want someone with a penchant for rough women and the West Indies?
What about René Meulensteen? Lot of people said it was a big mistake when Moyes got rid of him as he was a great first team coach
