| But Warrington chose a coach that had won Super League. they could see that Lowes was out of his depth as a first team coach.

Thats the point!! The fans can see Agar is out of his depth and not upto the task as Head Coach but the BOD seem to think he's fanbloodytastic which is why we seem to be stuck with him.

That's because Agar is everything the B.O.D's require. He says YES to anything proposed by them
and does the job no doubt a hell of a lot cheaper than a recognised winner. Hull FC is run as a business and as long as the B.O.D's are turning out a profitable club, nothing will change. They aren't too bothered if FC win the league or the Challenge cup because at the end of the day they know that irrespective of how dour the team have played or how dour the coaches tactics have been there are a solid nucleus of supporters who will buy season passes,shirts etc to pay the bills and a little bit more. That is the harsh and very sad truth of how our club is run. Mid table mediocrity is perfectly acceptable by the board evidently. Something needs to change but to be quite honest all the time the present mob are in charge this will simply not happen.

| Can you imagine what a massive lift to the club and the fans it would be if we do get rid of him? I reckon the next home match would see a big crowd and a great atmosphere backing the team

| Surely having a successful team will rake in more profits?
that extra revenue generated would pay for a world class coach many times over.

Yes it would but in order to win competitions etc. consistently you need a good coach at the helm initially therefore proving that the B.O.D's couldn't give a bloody hoot about challenging for honours. You seem to miss my point, the point i made is that in Agar he's the cheap option and the profit keeps coming in regardless. Yes IF we won things it would be a financial gain but it would also take a greater lay out in wages etc. to achieve that.

We just want a team who compete, who entertain and excite, who inspire us to get our cash out and buy a pass for next season, with our current coach, style of play i wouldnt go if someone gave me a free pass.
When we finish outside the top 8 which i think we will with the games we have left and get knocked out of the cup at the weekend then the BOD may act,

| speaking to a member of the media week before last he told me that he expected us to get beat vs saints as we struggle when put under any pressure due to our tactics, i then asked about agar and his opinion was he was out of is depth but the BOD would keep him as long as poss as he his cheap and it looks good on the books as they are still actively looking at selling the club, i wish if this was true they would hurry up and get on with it !!!!

I guess this person from the media writes for Viz?
The best way to increase the value of the club would be to finish in the playoffs and as near to winning the CC as possible.

What a load of tosh, if you want to sell the club you want to get the best price possible, how is a club with dwindling pass and merchandise sales, struggling to get in the play offs, the worse coach in SL attractive to any purchaser??

Disagree completely. Yes the players have to have the desire but the coach is the main man.
Look at Wire, got the right man in and now they are flying.
Look at Hudds, got the right man in and now they are flying.
Look at Wigan etc etc.

to do what, lose away at Warrington/Wigan, what makes you so certain, unless you are suggesting that players who didn't seem interested/capable in attack on Friday night are suddenly going to start pulling their weight, in which case, that's hardly a sign of professionalism within the squad, is it?
And, if that is the case, it indicates even more strongly that RA isn't the man for the job, as the players clearly don't resepct him.
so which is it, the coach, the players, both?

Ah so once teams get to the playoffs they may as well sack the coach as he plays no part in it from there. You really have excelled yourself with that comment Expro.

| Ah, that's alright then Mr Cornetto. We might finish 8th and given that Catalan look likely to be 5th, we'll get knocked out at the first hurdle in France. It's worth waiting a full season for that outcome isn't it? Utter rubbish.

It is quite easy to get rid of a genital wart.(apparantly),

Why should it be any different this weekend to the last four years of CC & play-off games?

Let's hope the cup run is exactly the same as the one three years ago with one added bonus.
