The mistake was appointing Agar, Hull could have waited to see how things panned out nearer the end of 2010, we did improve but still lacked quality in our performances, had a very poor points scored column, lost every game that mattered and his use of interchanges was as crazy as it is now, it was clear to see that despite an improved league position due to better players he wasn't the man long term.
With his contract due to expire, we could have been free to say thanks Rich but we have not performed despite your best efforts, maybe offer him an alternative coaching role. We then could have appointed a new man, possibly Noble, let him have a say in our recruitment, and more importantly have a full pre season with the squad, not only would the squad be better prepared on the field, but I'd guess season ticket sales would have been up and there would have been a general feel good factor around the club with lots of optimism, not the crisis we are in now with attendances dropping and possibly losing fans for good.
That would have been rectifying the mistake, as it stands the clubs support has dropped with rifts between supporters, we are looking more like wooden spoon contenders then title challengers and it looks like we will have to pay Agar off mid season, appoint a new coach mid season and supporters and revenue, all because someone took a totally reckless decision to extend Agars contract after the Quins game, on the basis that he was linked with the England job alone, as big a blunder as Plummer with the Cookie situation in my opinion.
