I can't see any suggestion other than he was aware of Jon during his childhood, he states he was 4 years older and they occasionally played football with their brothers, hardly Stand By Me.

Hardly relevant now, the fact is they appear not to be friends now

At last the truth is finally out!

Been watching in the wings for this one.

Sharp deserves better, but when a Coach is fighting for his livelihood and recognises he doesnt have the respect of the players & coaching staff he has tried to hunt with the hunters and ride with the riders!!
DANGEROUS GROUND INDEED! Especially when your making yourself a laughing stock amongst those who are taking the pi$$ and drinking your drinks, the favoured few anyway !

No, the fans of Hull FC deserve better than a failed SL coach.

The Huddersfield fans got better, not much sympathy when the same mistakes are made not once but twice

Agree 100%

The two are not mutually exclusive. I wouldn't wish Agar as a boss on my worst enemy.

To be honest nobody at the club seems to come out of this well, the CEO for letting the coach change club structure, Agar for spitting his dummy because Sharp had the temerity to criticise him, Sharp for washing his linen in public or the Hetheringtons for backing a clearly failed caoch.

Aye. You couldn't make it up, could you?

This is Hull FC, we don't need to make it up, we're the equivalent of Billy Smarts circus, as I have been saying for years.

are you really sure about all this or is it that theres nothing good to talk about???


and who really cares wether jon likes richard or richard hates jon.



not the kind of thing i want to be reading about as i just want to know how many points hull fc beat the other team by.

Nah I disagree, Billy Smarts Circus is entertaining

You'll have to go back a ways for that.

Thats not the impression i got, when agar,sharpe and a few players had a day out on the life boat down at spurn i was working that day as i work on the pilot boats and we share the same jetty as the life boat.
When they where boarding the life boat they seemed to be laughing and joking with sharpe and being quite pally with him and it was agar who was left on his own with nobody really talking to him, now that looks to me as if they get on well with sharpe and dont like agar.

But things may have changed in the last few months.

So the kids you played with as a youngster - were they your friends or people you were just "aware of"?

You said they were "never mates" yet they played sport together?

There are plenty of kids I played football with in the street, I wouldn't describe them as friends.

I remember being at the 1980's reunion just before xmas and Agar was there with Sharp. Jon was buzzing just being back amongst his ex team mates from the 80's but Agar just looked bored and totally disinterested which made it look as though it was an effort just to be there. Towards the end of the afternoon Sharpy just wanted to get round as many fans as possible and rekindle old memeories but Agar was busting a gut just trying to get Jon back in the car and head off. I thought at the time about Agar and felt like telling the f00kin pr1ck what a disrespectful he really is. Instead i'll tell him when he gets off the team bus at Wigan because that will be the night when the team and the fans will really stick the knife in him.

All aboard the Blackpool Bomber, party time

Were's the Fun Bus that night heard it's gone in to hiding

I don't care if anyone in the team gets on personally. However head coaches should demand respect and also earn it by making decisions right for the team. However, it is clearly obvious there is a total lack of respect and authority all the way through the players and non playing staff.

Big changes required, and I just hope the reason Agar and Sharpe are still here is because there will be more options available for a top coaching team to come in during the off season.

Simple Question

Why would Agar go to Rule ??

Any other members of the Hull FC staff grow up on this street?

His immediate 'line manager'?

Standee I am not falling out with you or arguing but when did Agar Spit his dummy out over Sharp critisising - I missed that one

Apparently it's why he went to Rule, as I said, shreds of truth in the story, just not 100% where they stop.
