but 20+ games is, which was my point. I

thats got knack all to do with it. he won and lost as near as makes no odds the same proportion as Sharp. Thats what percentages are.

if he'd have won 3 from 4 games and people were quoting a 75% win ratio then you'd maybe have a point,

He is clearly going to be here next season, the board have made that clear by backing him in the transfer market. It seems he is being allowd to build his own squad for next season and that includes gettig rid of a number of players. For me this is not before time, too many of the players are lazy and uninterested and it was the same under Sharp and Kear. I for one am glad Agar is going to have the balls to make some tough decisions and do what is right by getting shut of some of the crap.

I am not happy with the way we are playing or with some of Agar's decisions and he needs to improve aswell as the players but I do beleive he cares and is desperate to get it right.

Should we get shut now all that happens is we get Jon Sharp and I don't want that at all. Lets back Agar and see if he can improve during 2009 and build a hungry and competitive squad for 2010.

How do you know this ??

Agar said so. If he wants to keep his job he has to get it right, he wanted the clear out last year, said so after the Rovers match, but could not do it due to lack of personel available I believe. This season he can make the decisions and I believe he will.

Unless of course Jon Sharp is a prime mover with regard to the recruitement.

not rocket science mate

Additionally last season there were not that many players who were out of contract who could be released without a pay off.

Il judge Agar next year, with the players he brings in, and the players he shifts out, and how performances go next year. Need to give him time, the great wall of China wasnt built in a day.

neither was Rome

Can those hwo believe agar can do great things with the right squad just post the areas they belive he has improved things since he took over?

He's made it quicker to get away from home fixtures.

Although TBF he had a fair bit of rebuilding to do when he first started, in comparison to Sharp inheriting an already very good squad who had won a trophy the year before. Looking at the league table McRae was around 68% for his last season, I can't remember how we did in the cup that year off hand.

Faulty reasoning. Why kick to a talented youngster who may or may not be able to handle the pressure (given that he's a full back and pretty nippy, there's a good chance he could take the bomb and be off to the races) when you can kick to Meli who has arguably the worst hands (under the high ball) in SL?

IIRC, Hull kicked to Meli ... twice? He dropped it once.

Poor. Very poor.

Agar has his failings but you do realise that if Agar goes then Sharp takes over.

We would all like a complete change with the Head coach but it's just not going to happen so if you want Agar sacked then good luck with Sharp.

I'll stick with Agar for now.

If I was coach of Hull FC, I too would care and be desperate to get it right. Doesn't mean I'd be any good though.

True, like I said he needs to learn from his misatkes, he does seem to have a vision of what he wants from the team and with the players coming in and those leaving hopefully he can achieve that vision. I don't want this season to be written off in the meantime though and do want to see him getting better with things like interchanges and motivation.

Me too.

I also want a sound spanking off Rosie Webster, but I don't imagine I'll get it.

Hmmm, more chance than getting the other things out of Agar though!

i would quit. The club is in crisis and Rule ant got a clue!

Good Point Paul but how long do we persist with the threat of sharp taking over. I say get it done now sharp will get to the end of the year and both are gone. The option is Agar stays till next year and Sharp gets a contract extension we would be down the pan for several years then? Something I have been pondering for a while

Good point, just how determined are the board and Sharp that he will get a go at being head coach at some point, regardless?

If relegation was an issue, would your opinion be different?

I agree with Kosh, in that I have never slated a coach (well not since Walsh), but I fail to see any signs from Agar, that gives me any hope for next season or beyond.

I am quite happy if the club are taking advantage of the 'no relegation' period, as an opportunity to rebuild, develope and restructure the team, rather then knee jerk reaction and panic buying.

Next year will be the time, if Agar fails. He will have no excuses whatsoever next year and both him and Sharp are out of contract, if it's not working then they can get rid of both without it costing anything.

1. The kit lady has 2 less shirts to wash per game - surely Lee's and Maloney's will be clean enough to wear next game.

2. HDM has to use less ink listing the interchanges for our games.

3. I thought post game interviews couldn't get any worse after Peter Sharp, but Agar's are just hilarious!
