Quote ="His Bobness"Is Agar really as bad as you thought or was it more the people running the club at the time?
Hull achieved 6th under Agar and that is not to be sneezed at. I know it isn't where you want to be but look at the teams above that - just who is going to drop out of the picture to let Hull (or anyone else) in?
Unless one of the big 4 hit financial problems similar to Bradford I just don't see any of them going back into the pack. The task for anyone wanting to rock the big 4 boat is enormous - and then there is Catalans & Huddersfield to contend with too.
The structures and investment at these clubs are long standing, the foundations are rock solid and in a salary capped competition, people like Marwan Koukash and Adam Pearson can shout as loud as they like but there simply is no quick fix. And that remains the case, be your coach Agar or Gentle.
The fact is that for all the talk, the bulk of Hull's recent recruitment has come from Hull KR, Salford & Castleford. That's the only way it could be - tell me one reason why a player would leave a top 4 club for Hull? Only if they were to be the marquee top dollar signing like Ellis. And you can only afford have one of those. And even then at the back end with injury ever more a feature.
Some Hull fans don't understand the problem but it's obvious really. Owners change, coaches change but gullible Hull FC fans remain.
Every regime, every coach promise the same thing. Every time Hull FC fans fall for it hook line & sinker. What's the point of actually providing the real thing when the Hull FC gullible fan will buy into any old bull year after year?
That's your problem!'"
thats so funny , well thought out critique lol
