sell it to the stream of altruistic investors that are queueing up to buy sports clubs obviously. Duh.

The appointment of Agar was a cheap option at the time and was always likely to rebound but the state we now find ourselves in is unprecedented in that the decline has been so fast.

The board must act now. Agar and Sharp must go NOW.

Let Last or Crooks take over in the mean time. Hell, they can't do any worse. Then use the money saved from the Crocker deal to entice a world class proven coach. Once it is known that the club is willing to pay big money to get the right man, there will be plenty of interested parties. An Australian with no previous knowledge of any of the players or training methods. Then let them have full say on choice of assistants, etc.

But this must happen now before it is too late. If we go into next season with Agar and Sharp, the number of season passholders will fall and the diehards who always go no matter what will then turn on the board for not acting now.

He just makes it up.
Clarke style quote "Hull are the best team at gaining meters from the second play of the ball in the first 15 minutes of home games this year" - just makes it up.

He talks utter shiite, especially when wigan are on

Ive been busy today, has Agar gone yet?

doesn't sound like he's going to me, the players/club have been talking about how they must turn it round in the media

so i think its win or P45 on friday

Well its P45 before friday or i wont be there.

Oh well.

they've been turning it round so much recently they've either gone dizzy and fallen over or have the turning circle of Hutch Maivia at full pelt.

At least it will save me £30 on beer, wish i'd not bought my season pass now.

Still not gone then.

Nope and I'd be very suprised if he does before next season. The players are at the heart of this and some of them need to be got rid of ASAP.

If there's one thing we've learnt about this board it's that they will make sure the maximum damage is done before they remove an inept coach.

I believe a victory against Salford (no matter how poor) will keep him going till the Celtic game which (provided we win that) will last him to the Bradford game which might just keep him going through the first five or six games next year.

They're expert at it. Mind you, they have had a lot of practice.


I think he's here next year regardless TBH.

I've taken to drinking spirits during the game now it means I forget what's just happened quicker.

You mean like how they sacked McRae? Or how Kear was left for seasons to ride on the back of his challenge cup success? Or how Sharpy got the benefit of the doubt that it was injuries causing us to lose - this being after getting us to our first grand final appearance and then leading us to 4th despite losing our key player the year after?

Ive taken to leaving work early and getting to the pub for 5pm (2pm last home game) rather than 6pm. It helps.

You are an FC player and I claim my case of Carling

A great coach IMO - He was here when they came and left of his own choosing - I can guess the underlying reasons though.



A good coach IMO - Forced out by an inept interfering board. If they felt they really couldn't back him against the players then fine, but don't replace him with untested tripe.



The worst coach i've seen (I reckon Peter Walsh would've done us better) - You carry on believing he's great if you want, but i'll let the evidence of him not finding another job in RL speak for itself.

Mcrea did ok considering he had to manage a team that had merged and basically build from scratch (only my assessment of course)

Kear - not sure he lasted "seasons" as you put it - he went the year after!

P. Sharp - IMO damn unlucky and didn't get the backing of the board when he needed it (sacking of a player)

Agar - appears to have been given more of a chance, considering teh prev coaches "successes" (cc win, grad final and 4th place finish) plus his win % in thee worst of em all and we play thee worst rugby!

If the players are at the heart of it then it is up to the coach to sort out or demote to the reserves the ringleaders. It doesn't matter who the ringleader/s are Berrigan/Horne etc no players are bigger than the club, the fact we have only seen one drastic move (Hall to Widnes) it seems that Agar does not have the balls to remove the problem or he is the problem.

Either way it is Agar who is responsible.

I like his knowledge of his team and his man management.


That's from the "highlights" video of the wakefield game on hullfctv. Just shows how well he manages his players.
