Looking forward to going back to BV now

Morrison in?

Err no Webster is the new coach

There IS a god !!

Excellent. It was time for him to go and I appreciate him stepping down. Hopefully there is enough time for the new man to get some momentum before its too late to turn the tanker around.

Although personally i would have gone for someone from outside rather than just promote the assistant i hope Webster can make a success of it and we can kick on.

Best of luck to him, can't fault the bloke as a person.

He stepped down so they are probably only starting to look now.
Webster won't be better. He's already had chance to influence the team.

unbelievably Agar is getting a gig at Warrington under Tony Smith, and then taking over as head coach at Warrington when Smith leaves to take over at St George !! How on earth he has managed that with his track record is beyond me !!

We need to appoint a defensive assistant to help Webster with that side of the game.

Is Webster confirmed for the remainder of the season or is he caretaker boss until a replacement is found?

Pop tart for a positive poster this is unlike you. An assistant can only give advice. He can't make any decisions. Lets welcome James and give him his chance.

You must have a cold or something

Damn!!

Indeed I would've gone for a coach with fresh ideas, Webster is likely to be following the same principles as Agar given his time working under him. Hopefully this will not be the case and he has his own ideas. Just shows he wasn't going to get sacked.

Goodnight, God bless and a safe journey home

At least he chose to walk (or was his decision influenced?). Either it is something he didn't do at Hull much to the frustration at the time of the FC fans.

Those bagging James Webster need to realise he is not Richard Agar!! This is a huge step forward for us right now and one that needed to be taken. There was no guarantee it ever would happen, but now it has, flipping well enjoy it!!

Those pushing for Morrison should take note that he too took his initial steps into coaching under the teachings of one Richard Agar. Why would he be any better than James Webster? He has no first grade experience. If he was still coaching a youth team under Agar, would he be held in such high regard? It smacks of desperation to be clambering for him.

We have James Webster. Let's get behind the bloke!!

Hmmm I guess you are right.
I'm still feeling it after Bradford. Maybe the players knew there was a change coming.

I've no real problem with Webster and I've met him so I know he's a likable guy.
He'll get my full backing.

But personally, a well run professional club should start a recruitment process not just hand it to the next in line.
I've heard Webster talked about as a good prospect as coach but I'd have liked someone with experienced hands myself.

This was always my issue with the Agar haters. No one was thinking ahead to this day.

I should say after reading my rather negative post that I wish Agar all the best and hope he enjoysthe break and gets back into a new job soon.

And I wish Webster every success. Lots to do. Lets go.

Webster will have his own ideas and yes he was under Agar but for me the one important thing to do is appoint a good defensive assistant to work with him for me that is a must.Agar has now gone lets get behind Webster and you never know he just might be the man to make things happen.

Swap RA for WP

Backing Webster, best of luck, give it your best and get those players busting a gut. It will be very interesting to see his choices re players and if there is a change in style of play ie focus on defence. He is a half back by trade so will be very interesting to see who his first choice 6 and 7 are.

So, the Board knew Agar was leaving at the end of the season, for a number of weeks

.

If they knew his heart was no longer in it, and presumably so did the players, why the hell has he being left at the helm for so long?

What a sorry state of affairs

.

Don't have a clue how these things work but I'd guess Webster will have the players in and ask their opinions on why we've been so poor, maybe RA did but you're hardly likely to tell the guy that picks the team, plus he has 11 days to get the squad playing his style, all the best James, you're gonna need it.
