All the best Rich delighted for you know how proud you wil be to be the head coach of Hull Fc and im sure you will make a great success of it

Wembley here we come

What exactly did he do wrong? Took us to a GF, Took us to 4th after losing our playmaker then 2nd to bottom after not having a near fit squad all season?

This has England written all over it for me, and we all know things got a whole lot worse for England. Anyway, he has the chance to prove me wrong.

But regardless of who's responsible for recruitment, the 4 main selling points of a club are always:

1. Money
2. Potential to win trophies
3. Coach
4. Area

We don't offer good money, we are currently a bottom 3 team, we now have an unproven/unknown (overseas recruitment) coach, and the place is commonly considered a craphole. Tell me how you'd convince a player to choose us with those restrictions in place.

great news,good luck rich,i know how much you time and effort you put in to our great club.

Bit of a gamble appointing Agar. It's one thing motivating players for one week, another to do it on a regular basis and at this level. If I was a Hull fan this morning I would not be happy with this appointment and it reminds me very much of when Saints dumped McClennan and went for Eric Hughes instead of the top class Australian that we knew we needed to compete. Hughes won nothing and we replaced him with a highly rated Australian assistant coach and won the double.

What, even though Berrigan cited Peter Sharp as one of the main reasons he came?

why?

does that mean you will not be going anymore then?

Yes, we're all that fickle. I just guess a lot of people are very underwhelmed, but like I said, I hope I'm proved wrong.

jesus poor bloke the slagging offs started already give him a chance FFS

wont be seeing you there anymore then?

I think were the only club to reach a grand final and then make a 10 year
plan of how to get to another.

No confidence in the club with that appointment.

The most underqualified coach for the job.

Gotta give the kid a chance, he is in an ideal situation to know where the team needs to improve, but as an assistant, had to tow Sharps line for 2 years. I have a feeling that he will do well.
Anyone think that Warrington may sign Steve Folkes

how ironic would that be.

Sounds like we have taken the cheap option yet again, Agar has been involved with Sharp so he shoulders some respobsibility, can't imagine why we haven't given him the rest of this season to prove himself and then looked at a new contract, or was he always going to replace Sharp when the end of the season came?

Seems the trip to Aus was really just a jolly.

Don't think anybody is slagging off RA, must fans know and appreciate his efforts for the club.

The appointment is not going to suit all, opinions will differ, you'll just have to deal with it.

TBH, it's obvious times are bad when the best counter argument to people not happy with the appointment you can come up with is "Won't you be going anymore".

Haven't seen any body "slagging him off"

I don't think anyone's slagged him off have they? Some are just questioning whether or not he's ready for the job, particularly with the present situation. As someone else said, it would be very different if he was taking over a relatively successful squad due to someone stepping down, but it's a gamble as to whether he can turn the current side around.

Exactly what I'm thinking.

i have dealt with it, and i think agar should be given a chance, he is clearly passionate about the club, all i was suggesting is that he is being written off already after 1 game in charge,
who is to say that folkes or anyone would have been better. looks like the " people who have insider information or think they have were wrong......again,

okay slagging off was the wrong word, perhaps i should have said written off.

exactly and lets give him the chance before writing him off, thats what i meant.

Well I wouldn't write him off, but it is a concern given that he has been assistant coach during some of our worst times.

However hopefully he will get a bit of luck injury wise and this will give him the freedom to coach that he needs.

Think Hull FC could have done with a proven coach personally to turn things around.

Because our other options are asking for too much money, and the board are now worried that Agar's head may be turned by someone else before then? Just a thought, but I agree the decision seems to have been made rather quickly.

like other a little underwelmed, but he will have my full support from the start, think he has earnt this chance.

Lets be honest there wasnt any top coachs available for us to sign.

In just one game I thought i saw some improvments in our attacking play, mainly the depth of our line and some aggresive defence.

Lets hope he when we get our playmakers back we can see us convert possision into points, also I hope he has a bit of luck on the injury front.

one thingi am glad is that it is sorted now, and we can start to look at recruitment for next season.

Good luck Richard.

Most fans will give him the chance, just voicing their opinion.

Many will be underwhelmed by the news I'm sure, won't stop them getting behind him.
