Heard yesterday off someone who I would imagine would know and he said def Agar. It won't be announced until they know whether they are in the play offs to not rock the boat with the Hull teams moral.

So you heard on Sunday that although Hull FC were guaranteed a play of place on Saturday night
by virtue of beating Cas that your man in the know says the Agar appointment won't be announced just yet because they whoever they are don't want to rock the boat regarding Hull's team moral, give yer head a shake

Not saying I would want him as coach, but of late he seems have have turned it around at Hull.

Could it be since old Kath sold her share in the club he has had less interference from her and
now he is starting to get on with the job much better ?

Last but not least I don't like his assistants when all three sit together in the stand they look like
an ugly trio of little hobbits.

I don't agree with the acceptance of mediocrity that Agar's appointment would represent - he's done nothing of note at Hull, with a massive playing budget, 18 billion loyal supporters and a wealthy, influential BoD behind him; what the hell do people think he would achieve here?

If, after coming back from the brink of extinction and conjuring up a SL future out of thin air, the best appointment we can make to lead the club forward in a new state of the art stadium is Richard bloody Agar, then we may as well chuck it all in now.

You know I was thinking about this myself. Hulls BOD have a history of interfering in team matters and not backing their Coach - as happened to JK.

I don't actually recall much about Agar pre Hull TBH. However failing at Hull who are SL's greatest under achievers is by itself not enough for a prosecution.

He's still not for me but then no British Coach is. I'm personally convinced that the only way we can move on is by making a massive leap forward. Again just IMHO only an Aussie can offer this, someone totally independent from the British game who has no pre conceived ideas. Whether Gentle is that man I don't know, but with all the will in the world Agar along with all the other Brits isn't the man as IMO. All are products of SL which by definition is inferior by a fair way.

If Agar is picked I will back him and pray he proves me wrong but he will need to up his game by a large amount.

If its true about Agar, seems Elston is running the new corner shop business.

Are Hull just going to release him - cos it would be even worse if we had to pay them compensation.

The last week or two with no positive news have hindered the sale of season tickets and this will just wreck any chance of getting 2,500 to buy before end of the month. We are going to lose a number of those who have already "pledged" as they wont want to pay the extra 75 quid.
