I would be happy with Cummins too. However, there seems to be too much noise about Agar and that coupled with the man who will probably have greatest say in the appointment being his mate leads me to the horrible conclusion it will be him.

Hull fans are convinced he won't be there next year.

Our stadium announcer is bigging him up on twitter (I like Phil but someone needs to tell him that getting Hull above us in the league (given the respective squads) - does not make Agar a "very very good coach" and also remind him of the fact that Hull are one of the few teams we have beaten this year !!!

If it does turn out to be Agar, I believe we will have made a mistake that will affect the outlook on next season and sales of season tickets among the non-hard core fan base

If its Agar then the club is going to end up giving an awful lot of £100 refunds as theres no way we'll hit 2500 season ticket sales and a lot that have already taken the offer will want there money back. Cummins with a good backroom team around him and we may just sneak it.

ive no idea how hes come to that conclusion. A club with the spending power of hull should not be finishing 8th ( possibly lower ), bought crap and i cant honestly think of that many young lads hes brought through

Re: New Coach : Fri Sep 02, 2011 8:35 am  

It depends who AG listenes to then. JE wants Agar. Everyone else on the planet, with any affection for Trinity, doesn't!

Bit late to get some banners organised for Headingley tonight.
I think fan power got us John Kear instead of Ted's fancied James Lowes. Maybe we can similarly convince AG with this latest appointment. To be fair to Lowes we had no idea at the time wether or not he would make a decent Head Coach. With Agar it's pretty obvious he hasn't nor probably ever will.

Correct season tickets will be 175 next year if its Agar, with Cummins the target is within reach although it won't be easy.

Lets hope the fans wishes/views are listened to, together we are stronger eh.

Yet another urban myth about little old Ted.

James Lowes was lined up by Steve Ferres, Ted over ruled him and wanted John Kear.

Correct. I was with Ferres at the time and wanted Lowes, just shows what fans know - though you'd think some were experts (they certainly do) the way they post on here.

Ted had his faults but he woukldn't have survived as long as he did if he didn't make
some good decisions along the way.

Topped 1000 sales up to press. The correct coaching appointment now is vital and the sooner it happens the better.
