Morning James,
Not looking good is it?
This time last year I emailed you stating that the coach we had was not World class and that we would never win anything with him in charge of the team and that our season was over. I'm doing the same today and will be doing the same next year and the year after that.
World class stadium, World class players, World class fans and one of the best marketing boards in the business, just one thing missing....................................... answers on a postcard please!
How on Earth you can possibly imagine that a left back from Dewsbury is a going to suddenly turn into a World class coach is beyond me and 12,000 others. This club has the potential to pull in 16,000 supporters but with the 35% winning formula of this coach I'm afraid you will be staring at 9,000 in the future (costing us hundreds of thousands of pounds).
You played the "injured" card all of last season James, we had a full team out on Saturday a team that lacked motivation and ideas. I've watched this game for to long not to be able to spot what the problem is, a blind man with half a brain can spot what the problem is. We deserve better.
I'll email you again next year at this time, only 3 years to go.'"
Well it's not 'FICKLE FANS' we've got these in abundance!!!!!!!

| People have to face facts, Agar has a new contract so he is going nowhere, even if he decided to do the right thing and walk away he'd still want paying off, our board are not going to cost themselves that amount of money and the extra it would take to get someone else in.
Agar will rip the heart out of the fans with his poor tactics and substitutions, we have injuries so his built-in excuse has triggered already, we'll start fighting amongst ourselves (verbally) as the season peters off to a damp squib, as IanP has said, it's the 80's all over again.

| i lost faith in agar and the coaching staff when they blamed the hull fans for the poor performances last year, saying the booing was the problem, yet this year no booing and the same tactics used by agar = the same poor performances, he needs to go.

There are few, very few, great coaches that were good players. Hanley & Gregory for example.

| To be fair to Rule I have emailed him three times now about Agar and he has responded to the first two, the third was only sent a week ago.
Sadly each time he says the board is fully behind Richard Agar so I don't see anything changing. Its so frustrating because the club can be so much better with the right man at the helm. While I anticipate us finishing higher than the last couple of years we will still massively underachieve.

Well, we don't know if (or not) in the extended contract, that there could be certain targets to be achieved.
As a business that could be facing loosing money, it might be the cheaper option to get rid of Agar, then to loose quite a few fans.

| Quote ="Tongan Mafia"Dear James
Could you please tell me who decided to give Richard Agar another two year contract please. He hasnt done anything in his time at the club to warrant an extension. We have the most passholders in superleague and a nice stadium and grade A license as well as making a profit.
=#FF8080I would guess is was the board who offered the contract!!! what are you expecting his to say????
And how do you thank the fans by given us another poor poor coach for another two years. You say everyone has a different opinion and that is a fair point but I challege you to send a survey out asking ALL the passholders how they feel about having Agar in charge for another two years.
=#FF40BFWhy would he does this? If he sacks Agar he has to pay him off!
I tell you now it wont be pretty reading James. If you really care about the Old faithfull you would go out there and get a top class coach and dont insult us with the [size=150cheap and cheerful option of your best mate Agar[/size.
=#FF4040How do you know Rule and Agar are best mates? How do you know he is cheap
He told us that players would be picked on form but Moa not picked against leeds even though he was yet again the best player on the pitch the week before. Turner has linked up well with horne in the halves before, but he goes with Washbrook and Horne what has never worked. These are mistakes a rookie coach would make at amateur level not at super league. Look at Nathan Brown and Maguire in there short stints at Huddersfield and Wigan. And maguire with someone elses team, we are out at the first hurdle of the challenge cup AGAIN what cost the club money as well. When I got home and watched it on tv again I couldnt believe what I saw. At half time on the tv it went into the Hull dressing room to see Agar with his hands in his pockets looking lost and the players just moping around what an embarrasment. Then there was also the booing from Hull fans when Richard agar came on the screen. For the loyal fans to start doing that should tell you we have had enough. And I for one and my family will not be renewing our passes next season while this man is in charge.
It upsets me like many Hull fans to have to send stuff like this as we want to be able to cheer our team on knowing when they get beat its because the other team was better on the day. Not bcause the coach hasnt got a clue.
Final point James is if you believe in Richard so much would you resign if he doesnt win anything in his two years?
=#FF4040do you seriously expect an answer to that?
All the best for the future
Lee'"
If you sent that, I wouldn't expect a reply!

Dear Justin and Neil
Please could you take Craig Hall of our hands, he his out of contract at the end of the season and with Justin coaching he could follow the likes of Scott Wheeldon, Paul Cooke, David Mills and Ryan Esders in making it as an international. Oh err wait a minute.
Cheers

| I agree with both emails as well, it's hard to see an Average Coach making my team and average team.
ps
Wish the kr troll would go back to his own board.

| The board and the players believe in Agar even though the fans don't. Expect some top players to extend their contracts soon I reckon now Agar has signed on.
I just wish all this belief in him by the players would manifest itself on the pitch.

I tend to find managers who are popular with staff but not customers tend to be very lenient managers who let their staff do pretty much as they like.

The board believe in him that is plainly obvious, however i am not so sure the players do. Yes we have seen players backing him but does anyone really think they would publicly come out and say he is doing a terrible job?

Possibly, they could however have genine belief that he is the right man. I believe Hull will be talking to Fitz like they did with Kearney regarding the head coach position and taking his word as gospel. If Fitz has given Agar his backing then that would not be to get an easy ride as he is not that type of bloke.

Senior players would speak freely imo. O'Meeley, Fitz, Berro etc would not be frightened to speak their minds.
