Butt if he's been coaching at Man U probably wouldn't be a bad choice, but if we're going after someone like that I'd probably prefer Scholes. He's got a couple of years coaching now (he was coaching with them when he came out of retirement wasn't he?) and in terms of what we're lacking he knows the role a lot better than Butt would. Either way we'd clearly be going on Bruce calling in a former teammate connection, it's not often someone leaves the Man U setup to be a Number 2.
David Burns @bbcburnsy 4m4 minutes ago No confirmation yet of Nicky Butt as new Hull City coach, but his name is deffo in the frame. #hcafc
I've always like the idea of experience manager, upcoming assistant or upcoming manager and experience assistant. The good thing about Butt is he's experience modern Premier League football.
