can I say the percentage of the c
lubs support on here must be less then 1% so what chance have we got of adam sacking agar? As i see it it will only happen if the clubs sponors get itchy feet

Quote ="weaver93"Agar's just released another classic!!! www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... story.html The players need a break!! for their charge to Old Trafford.'" Has he forgotten that all of the clubs we still have to play a) will be having a break aswell? and b) are better (asside from crusaders).

i cant understand what ppl are going on about, because they train out of their skins every week, has agar stolen peter walsh's quotes

Planet Agar departed this solar system many years ago.

The man is totally fooking barking mad

You're not supposed to spoil it by pointing out the holes in his logic and excuses.

That's assuming he actually understands what the problems are

I don't understand your problem with Rule Jake.

Ok he was a bit naive when he started in the job but he's really grown into the role since then.

I think it will be a lot better for him working with Pearson than with Kath & Co.

Where are we going to find a better CEO? Pearson clearly doesn't want to do the job himself.

Cant be assed to scroll through 5 pages but i cant believe hes still trying to tell us there 'just about there' or words to that meaning....its round 23...if there not there yet then its not going to happen now!! he speaks no sense what so ever...im sick of this crap..speaking as though the fans are brainless!

My problem with rule is that since he took over as ceo the playing side of the club has gone down the pan. Now you may want to exonerate him from any blame but I don't see it that way

No doubt before our next loss, we will be training the house down,confidence will be high and the boys will be Desperate to repay the fans for thier faith.It will however all end as it predictably has during the entire tenure of our GURU's time in office.Another loss though we are not far off,the lads are in the dressing room GUTTED,and us fans walking away feeling cheated wondering how this idiot has remained in charge of our club for so long.
If he does get sacked or let go by mutual agreement,lets see how long it is before the Hetheringtons give him a job screwing the Rhinos as he has us.I wouldnt hold my breath.
Personally I Will not go again while he is at the club.

You really think there is a correlation between Rule and the team performances? He's a Union man, if he did have an influence on the hiring and firing, then it would have been only as the spokesman for Kath (and probably Gary).

This shouldn't be a case of shooting the messenger. In every off-pitch aspect he has excelled. Think the partnership with Pearson looks good [iif[/i he distances himself from the previous regime.

I don't want to exonerate him from [iany[/i blame but equally I don't see how you can suggest he is unaware what the problems are.

Maybe under the previous regime he was unable to do anything about them?

And maybe he was but didn't

I think maybe the ever increasing empty seats is.

Your right, rule was just a mouth piece for Kath and Co and i think he will continue to be so for AP, what worries me now is we dont have a rugby person in there, for all her faults uncle Kath new the game, i have heard that Bomber is desperate to come back to Hull but not in a coaching role, would love to see him installed as DOR or similar role.

Why? Cos he's a nice guy with some recent problems and who never had any success when he was here before? We just need a strong well connected coach , we don't have one at the moment and that's the only reason we are craving someone with rugby knowledge in a DOR role. Spend the money on a coach.

She may well have known the game but its not done us much good on the field or in Coaching appointments has it?

Wasn't Pearson here at the same time as Shane Richardson latterly? I'm sure whatever Pearson does and whoever he seeks advice from will be someone he trusts, just hope its somebody that can help him get the right coach in for the start of next season.

To be fair, the performance over all against Wigan was not bad.

That we gifted them 3 tries in the first half (wayward pass for Richard interception, ball bouncing oddly over Phelps and Turners brain explosion of a pass on his own line) was the difference between the teams.

Many, including myself, have stated that getting beaten by a better team providing the effort is there can be accepted providing it doesn't become the norm.

That being said, I am surprised at the lack of vocal discontent directed towards Agar at games. Personally, I see it as counter productive during the course of the game, but half and full time should be open season.

What has that fact that Rule plays Rugby Union in is own time got to do with anything from his work. For the record, he also plays golf and likes a few beers. Does that make him a "golf and beer" man?

And a stupid drop off from Obst that was never on before Tomkins second try. That's 4 tries there that should have been avoided, and we win the game.

The view that if a sporting team didn't make the mistakes they did in a game then the result would be different always puzzles me. Maybe the mistakes FC made were due to the pressure and structure of the opposition team. Teams make mistakes because the situation they are in are to far removed from what they see as normal to be able to consistently handle the situation. In other words they are not regularly conditioned to make dealing with these situations as simple as tasks like passing a ball from dummy half with accuracy, oh wait a minute we struggle with that.

If people still think the mistakes cost us the game then ask yourself if Wigan had made them mistakes would we have capitalized on the chances. Wigan are a team coached to deal with the pressure of a game situation. That means not making mistakes as well as taking chances that they force teams into making.

The thing that concerned me the most is that Wigan won that game at a canter, Maguire was actually regularly rotating his pivots at one point. Not the actions of a team under pressure, more like a team feeling that the win was inevitable and being able to rest big game players before a semi-final.

Whether we won anything or not, we had the best, most exciting, Hull team I've ever seen when McRae was here. If we could have kept Smith and Smith on the park a bit more (as well as one or two others), I firmly believe we could have won something.



I don't disagree with that, to be honest. I think you only need a DOR if your coach doesn't have the connections or skill set to manage the whole of the playing side of the club. That being said, with the right combination of DOR/Head Coach, there's no reason the set up couldn't work.

If we're honest, Wigan were always in control of the game - even at 22-16 we never looked like winning it. I liked clown's quote about how 'we had to earn everything we got'. Well, yes Richard that's generally what happens when you play a good team - they'll givew you sod all because they're inevitably well drilled and well coached. As for our mob, what can you say? Bags of effort but hardly a brain cell in the side and practically zero cutting edge.

I read Agar saying recently that our attack hasn't been a problem. Maybe if he looks at the league table and sees that we have the worst points-scored record of the top nine teams he may change that opinion. He is also on record as saying that he'll walk away if he feels he can't take the team any further. Well, judging on this season, we've gone backwards which means that the walking needs to start now!

I think a DOR would give us stability. If we find a decent aussie coach he'll likely be gone within 3 years whereas a DOR would hopefully be a longer term appointment

I think it does, doesn't it? He's a Union, Golf and beer man, and good for him. I also think he's a very good CEO, but I believe he has very little, if any, input to the playing side of things, which was why I was querying Jake's opinion that our on-field demise has been caused by Rule becoming CEO.
