To let the chuffin news out!

Its driving me over the bloody egde!!

the longer it goes on the more i want it to be over. if it's agar tell us, if it's not tell us too.

Not get to know till Sat earliest IMHO. Be a bit hard on JK if announced before his last game in charge.

Why would it be harsh on JK? Just because tomorrow's his last game doesn't mean we shouldn't announce the new coach

It may will be a very complicated situation. Imagine if our intended new coach is still employed by another club or may have been told he is no longer wanted but still has say a year left on his deal. There may well be compenstaion due to the coach and both parties , the coach and the potential new employer will have to tread very carefully in order not to jepodise any compensation. Lawyers, agents etc will be involved. It will take time.
Who ever gets the job I hope they have experience of getting rid of deadwood.

I agree, shouldn't make any difference. Fingers crossed you don't get agar. Your website says 'The future starts now', bloody bleek one if you get him!

that's a really good point. personally i think agar has been messed around by hull fc. hope he gets the money that he's due. still don't want him to come to us, but a very good point well made.

In fairness, its all very complicated, although, were Hull always thinking of getting rid of Agar, or have they taken advantage of Mr Gentle's availability ?

Think it was hulls plan to not have him coaching as they offered him the director of rugby role a while ago I believe?

yer like it was hard on the club when he announced his interest in other clubs

There seems to be some substance in your comments as apparently the delay is not at our club, but 'at the other end' and probably will not be concluded until early next week. Don't know who it is though.

if that's the case it would rule Agar out then as it has already been announced he's leaving

Yep. thats why I think AG has more integrity. not a tit for tat thing.

Agar has been interviewed for 3 jobs since the weekend apparently

Well according to Radio Humberside this evening Agar confirmed in a press conference he had been to Wakefield for an interview and there would be an announcement before the weekend.. so that leaves tomorrow..

But I have had it on my usual good source he is definitely wakefield bound.
I'd just like to say this too.. there are a lot of Hull FC players that are not impressed the fact he is leaving and wanted to have a word with a certain Mr Pearson at our Award nights this week... a lot of the players have always sang his praises! He's not the worst... Just fingers crossed for you all!

I think they could have announced it at the start of the week but not on the same day as JK leaves.

What's another day????????????????????????????????????? (when we have waited 40 so far)

Absolutely right - some people on here need to grow up and realise that this is real life; if it IS Agar, he'll be in the process of negotiating his exit from Hull, which will no doubt cost them a pretty penny, and that will have to be concluded before he can sign a new contract.

Pretty certain that will have already been dealt with before Hull announced he was leaving.

One at Asda, one at HMV and the one he really wants is Assistnat Manager at Poundland.

Maybe falling gates and indifference amongst some fans forced his hand?

I very much doubt it.

I deal with this kind of thing fairly often and even with just legal advisors, HR professionals and Unions involved, it can take weeks. Add agents into the mix, which I'm sure is the case here, and it becomes even more complicated.

To be fair I had heard good things about Agar. Players respect him and want to play for him. I just think that he isn't as media savvy as you would like him to be and so fans don't see what the players do.
We will wait and see what happens but if we do get him as I have said a few times now, I will give him a chance and not judge him before a ball has been kicked/passed/knocked on!!

Agree


Had to laugh at the last bit

Mr Agar was spotted pulling into Superbowl car park yesterday in a Renault Clio with Willie Manu in the passenger seat, Tom Briscoe, Craig Fitzgibbon and Mark O'Meley crammed in the back, and Sam Obst in the glove box.

Just saying.
