McDermott - taken Leeds backwards at a stunning pace
Rob Powell - bit early to tell?
Kear - good for the cup, but massively inconsistent
Harris - taken play-off contenders to the bottom of the table.

Agar isn't the best British coach in West Hull

It's taken 4 years form Agar to take us from GF to bargain basement. It's certainly taken him longer than the rest.... Does that make him the best?

Least worst, that's the same, I think.

It's not much of a line up is it..

That was sort of my point. The only "big" club with a British coach is Leeds, and look how quickly he's had an impact.

Is this akin to Paul M winning the best FC moderator award

How long will McDermott get before Gary gives him to us?

I thought Tony Smith was British these days anyways

It's a question that you put to other supporters who have no axe to grind
Players give Agar a good name and so do the ex-players on Sky
In my opinion a lot of the Aussie coaches are bringing a lot of bad
habits to the British game more so in the tackling ..Like putting a lot of pressure on
players joints All this started last season with Wigan

Think we should make this a really positive thread then Wigan might take him

They're all rubbish

Credit to the Leeds fans, they're on the case with demanding McDermott out and suggesting Noble in pretty quickly. So we now have Wigan, Huddersfield and probably Leeds all in the market for a coach. Cracking stuff.

What I still don`t get is players signing seem to be impressed by Agar.They don`t have to say so.Even Gleeson has said it.
Long in his book stated he was impressed by him.If he came here just for the cash he didn`t need to make that statement.
Of course another scenario could be,
Agar."Why do you want to come to Hull Martin?"
Gleeson. "My mate Longy is here."
Agar."Ah,o.k., sign here."

I have no concerns that we'll trump them all to the best available coach should we actually get round to binning agar

Kath - Gary, the Hull fans are screaming for Agar's head. I'm getting sick of it now. But if he goes we'll still have to pay him for the rest of the season and next.

Gary - Don't be stupid, sit tight. He'll scrape a couple of games and we can get Gleeson at a knock down price. That'll subdue them again.

Kath - Well our Leeds fans are impatient after 5 poor games.

Gary - But we're Leeds, we've got a big card up our sleeves already.

Kath - (sigh) Well, can't we have Brian?

Gary - Well, we have to pay him anyway, so you can have him as well. Two coaches, they can't moan then...

It's all rhetoric like great fans, great stadium. they're hardly going to come out and say they signed for the club who offered them 4 grand a year more than the next highest bidder are they

Both true is it not?
No they are not going to say they came to the highest bidder,but they also arn`t obliged to say the things they do about Agar.Not defending it either way,just interested why it is so.
Lets be honest Jake,if Agar fed the crowd with three loaves and six fishes,you would still be unimpressed.

I wouldnt want any of the above to take us forward but i think noble is the best superleague coach (if he had a team to coach)

McDermott's thoughts on Leeds defeat:"I'm not confident in much at the moment, but what I am confident of is that there are a group of people there that are in a place they don't want to be. They've got a massive work rate and great effort, and it's puzzling because it's just not happening on game day."

Christ, makes Agar sound utterly inspirational.

As far as the Agar saga goes,I am like Roger Waters.
Comfortably numb.

Sounds like an agar quote to me...are we all just misled? The players love him..new signings love him..the board love him?? Give me an awsome performance in france and i might just love him!!

Agar has lost to McDermott and Kear, and won against Powell and Harris.

Only Crusaders are below us in the league.

(on paper) Agar has much better players and club at his disposal then Kear, Powell and Harris.

And players like Ogre leap to his defence.Strange old world isn`t it?
