FWIW I think Agar will still be at HFC in 2012 unfortunately.

Hope so, Millward at Cas, Agar staying at Hull, and Kear gone. We are halfway there.

You reckon



Not one of the coaches (including Mr Gentle) mentioned so far has the pedigree Kear had when he joined us in 2006. Also IMO only Gentle appears to offer more than Kear did in 2006. Worse still most of them don't even offer what Kear does now, assuming you don't believe the anti Kear claptrap peddled by some on here.

There is an old saying "better the devil you know". I have a horrible feeling that if we choose badly many of the people bright and not so bright may be ruing the day we got rid of him or more to the point replaced him with an inferior dud.

My money is on the clown prince Lupset Airport to be the first to start the bring Kear back wasn't Kear really great campaign - I'm not joking.

should know more tomorrow

And you don't think Kear's selections for at least %50 of the season have been somewhat strange to say the least ? Players should always be picked on form, not how matey you are with them (Tommy Lee, Jarrad Hickey) naming no names.

The club or us as fans?

Will we find out the Cummins and goings tmoz then atilla ?

Are we Poching someone from another club?

heres hoping hes part of it

Hope we don't get Nob(b)led.

Cummings or Agar folks, it would seem to me its a simple choice from the terraces at BV, if anyones bothered listening to the fans, you know the ones who help pay the wages.

Get it right and we move forward and i can't bring myself to think what will happen if we get it wrong.

If that's the choice, it's a simple one.

Personally, I'm still holding on to a glimmer of hope that Mr Gentle is on his way.

Neither will inspire the public i'm afraid, though one will get more support from the current fans than the other, I don't think either is what we need right now. Still you get what you pay for I suppose.

I disagree. Marketed correctly, a combination of Cummins and Poching (for example) could easily excite the fans and public.

And the whole Agar saga could help whoever comes in in that they have the benefit of not being him

Well I would argue that Millwards has more of a pedigree than Kear for a start.

Also, I don't see how you can defend the indefensible this year - particularly towards the latter part of the season - from Kear. Yes, he was the best man for the job at the time, yes he kept us in the league by inspirig the great escape, yes he deserved a medal for what he did but things dont go on for ever. kear is a man motivator, he gets players playing above themselves for short periods of time - hence the great escape, the big efforts against Cas & Leeds (usually) and his cup wins. I don't beleive this method of coaching is sustainable, effort and adrenaline can only get you so far.

His team selections have been baffling for months.

His trasfer activity has been woeful at times (Smith Hickey etc) - althouh I accept we have had a couple of good ones i there too.

Tactics and gameplan seem unfathonable/non existent at times.

Crazy game management and substitutions that appear mad most weeks (2 props spelled after minutes of half time usually)

Failure to develop young players and a tendency for them to stagnate

Signing and picking Jarred Hickey

The time has come for him to move on, with a hand shake and a pat on the back, nothing lasts for ever and (all but the most exceptional) coaches clearly have a sell by date at the club. Now is the time to go - and we have the chance of securing some good quality coaches so we have every oppertunity to get it right, lets hope Glover does do - cos this is the first acid test for me.

A few ''people'' in east hull will have to tighten their belts,with less income coming in



Do you lot seriously think agar could be you're next coach? Most hull fans are praying he is.

I think someone at the club wants him to be our next coach sadly.

Fair point with Mildrid.

As ever you go off on one without understanding. I'm not defending Kear, jeez man has it always got to be so black and white with you.

I'm pointing out that many of the alleged applicants are no better than Kear - that seems a fair enough point

I'm also saying that some of the applicants suggested would make Kear into a martyr at the very least.

I'm also pointing out how fickle some fans are, you a prime example.

I agree, Kear has to go for all the reasons you give. However it remains a pointless or perhaps destructive issue if we get the wrong man - again that seems a fair enough point.

So off your high horse, because if you fall you may break your neck

Its not a the big name some hoped for but that was never going to happen, Cummins imo is the man for the job and with a good back room staff will do us proud, hell we need to sort out the players coming throught the ranks and again imo he's the best man for the job.

Agar is a cracking bloke and a pleasure to talk to but for me he's the wrong man. i would question the club if he's appointed as to why they feel he'll take us forward.

After all the meetings and being told time and time again we need to start from junior level up i can't for the life of me understand why they would want Agar.
