lets face it, a change at this point in the season will help nobody - best for AP to start preparations now for a new coach in the off season

Could be wrong but didnt Anderson have a few issues at Saints before he left and anyway he'd rather be in OZ than the UK anyway. Wouldnt trust B Smith to stay the course either.

It might help some of supporters who are still pass holders [next year may be different as some may not re-new their passes].

Mr Pearson could consider sending the head coach on gardening leave and let his assistant show what he can do until the end of this season [I am aware that some class the assistant coach in a similar light to the head coach], but if nothing is tried one will never know if James Webster has it in him to be a head coach at this level.

I do not think that anything can be lost. I believe unfortunately that this season is now a lost cause. Mr Pearson and James Rule should then spend the time [between now and November] looking for a seasoned head coach.

If Mr Pearson puts his faith in Richard Agar for the future I think that he [Adam Pearson] may find that attenences will drop alarmingly.

Though when he was asked if Agar was the man for the year ahead I thought it was interesting that he was a bit non-committal. 'Yes, well... he's the man for now.' Then said about seeing how the rest of the season goes.

Think he knows what needs to happen but just doesn't want to start throwing his weight around only days into the job. When, not if now I reckon.

I got the same impression tbh...I feel a bit better for watching it and I pretty certain we will get the changes we desperately need to get us competing again.

But TBF, he's at least partly put himself in that position (it's arguably entirely his own doing).

Re: Adam Pearson in Hull FC takeover : Mon Jul 25, 2011 6:52 pm  

I thought what he said about his asperations for the club and his feelings about being better than Rovers was good and showed he was already 'getting the idea'.
He can't be making what appear to be knee jerk reactions after 72 hours in charge he will wait hear what the fans and the administrators feel is wrong, get an angle on it and then make a decision. If he reacted to the fans at this point he woukd be expected to do that evrytime there is an issue which might suite some but is no way to run a business. looking at the way he has operated over the years he will, have no fear, be looking already at getting season ticket holders that are disenchanted signed up again and increasing gates for next year and he will do whatever he has to do including changes in personel and big name signings to get that!
