From what you read on the Hull board they will be more than happy to pay us to take him off their hands.

This Agar rumour is making a bad day even more depressing.

There isn't a British Coach good enough to take us from where we currently are to battling for a top 8 place and that includes Noble (especially after he hinted that Keef would be someone he would want to build a side around).

agree totally...

Would Noble not give us a year or twos stability until NM comes to fruition?
I'm not saying he's the answer to our problem, I am fairly certain that our progression long term will come from down under, but we may have to take a small step now to make a large one then.

Well KC, put it this way if its a choice between Agar and Noble, its Noble everytime. However, as with others I just think his methods are now outdated and the only stability we would get would be staying outside the top 8 if he was the coach.

Conditioner for me is equally important as the Head Coach - we need to find a good one cos Sanctuary just ain't up to the job

Might be difficult if he's sat between Andrew Glover and James Elston on the night

Difficult for Agar, I agree.

I hope this is not inside info and he has been added to the list of guests

Surely he wont be there on tuesday considering he's still in a job, he can't say looking forward to it.. always wanted to coach wakefield.

If he gets sacked in the morning BE WORRIED.

I'll drive him to Wakey myself!.

I would like to think Elston would consult Morrison, if he's here for next season, when deciding on a new coach. He's experienced enough, more so than Elston I would assume, and professional enough to know what to look for in a decent coach in my opinion.

I'm sure we'd all have a whip round in Hull and pay for him to join you.

Please take him off our hands.

Finally, Agar being linked with another club, starting to see the light at the end of a very long tunnel.

I'm praying this is true, but god help you if it is.

I wouldn't wish him on Rovers.

He's a top coach and we'll all be glad I mean sad to see him go.

Lets hope the powers that be are listening, we don't want him as coach. The only way I would accept him in the club is in a director of rugby role, indentifying the young talent in the area and putting proper development pathways in place from scholarships through to first team. If we were to go for an overseas coach then having someone who knows the area and has a good rep for spotting talent would make sense. But as coach, no way.

i mentioned it on here weeks ago and nobody noticed. agar and elston are good mates. sadly that's the way people got their jobs at belle vue in the past, and we won't lose that engrained attitude/trait overnight.

If they want the support of the fans they have to think carefully about who they appoint.

I'd carry him there!

Sorry Wakey fans but I so hope this rumour is true. I know you have had plenty of problems recently but 1 more wont hurt you too much.

The fact that Hulls fans are on here begging us to take him speaks volumes.

I honestly think you would struggle to find one Wakefield fan who would support a decision to appoint Richard Agar, and I am positive this will be made abundantly clear tomorrow evening. I would however question the logic of some of the posts on this topic. He is still employed by Hull FC, Adam Pearson stated only 1 week ago that he is a key man for Hull FC and Agar in return seems quite happy where he is. It would be quite the leap of faith for us to have moved for him of all people when he is still under contract, and there are better coaches ie. Noble still out of a job:

It is understandable that Hull fans want rid. Their enthusiasm at the very prospect of him leaving is on a par with ours at the prospect of Kear leaving Wakefield. Yes he may have a connection to Elston, but for me, 2 and 2 has been put together on this one and 7 has been returned. If we have however made a move without even looking at the other options, then may it hang on the people that made that decision to do so. And it will. You don't need to look any further than Castleford to recognise an appropriate recruitment method. I'm not saying their final choice will be the right one, but at least they are looking to cover all bases before reaching their decision, and so should we.



It would be the ultimate irony for a club to consult the very person they are replacing on who they should replace him with. I just can't for the life in me see this being an appropriate conversation to have had. That's like my boss saying, "Sorry, we're letting you go, but do you know anyone who might want your job?". I don't think that even we have that level of idiocracy in us to do that, or at least I bl**dy hope we don't!!

The article in the mail is a bit misleading as in his interview on the radio he never said that Agar was the key man at the club what he actually said was the Coach was the key man, which is an interesting point to note.

As for Agar being happy to stay why wouldnt he be? He's done nothing but take us backwards on the field and suffered no repercussions for his poor record, hell even Kear had a much better record with us but got binned for less.

Agar is such the wrong choice it defies logic. Other than its an old pals act in case, as expected, he is to lose his job at the end of the season.

And I'd catapult him back!
