Well RA's got my full backing.

Welcome aboard the roller coaster that is Trin.

Richard Agar may not have been everyone's first choice, not even mine, but at least I admit I wasn't part of the recruitment process so I don't know how he or the other candidates performed or what has been said. I've been involved in interviewing and employing enough people to know that it not always the obvious choice who makes the best apopintment. Often many outside people thought that a particular job was "nailed on" for someone and were shocked when they weren't appointed, but after some time they had to admit the right person did get the job. So let's give Richard Agar that time and our support - it may be that he is just the person for us.

Together we are stronger.

I'm sure the vast majority of fans would have had Kear over Agar given that choice. Certainly a backward step when you measure like for like. Think we would've done the 2500 too, with Kear and an improved squad.
I cannot remember a similar situation in the past when we have gone so instantly backwards on the coaching appointment. Maybe Len Casey to Tony Dean?

Ain't you guys had enough torture ?

You are fully entitled to your opinion but I have no prblem with this appointment, RA has took some stick from Hull fans but he has the upmost respect from the players. This will work out to be a good appointment as far as I am concerned and for these reasons I totaly disagree with you and I expect at the price offered that we will sell 2500 season tickets, signings to come will have an influence I am sure.

For anyone that doesnt want to go another SL club is about 8 miles this way.

Completely agree with this.

he is not an awful coach...but he is a coach that will see finishing in 8th place as like doing the CC and League double. For HullFC that isn't good enough given the resources we have, whether its good enough for Wakefield (until you get your new ground and increase your income) is another debate.

I haven't bought a season ticket for the last 2 years having been a season ticket holder for a long time prior to that. I have to say that this appointment will not be prompting me to get 1 for next year either. This is the first setback for me of the AG rein as it doesn't demonstrate any ambition going forward at the coaching level, it is a 'safe' option. If we were happy to go with safe options I would have preferred John Kear to have been given the luxury that he never had in all of his time at Wakefield and build a team from a sound financial backing. I'm sure he would have been at least as successful as Richard Agar is likely to be.

Im gutted about this appointment, if agars the best man for the job then theres some very poor candidates out there. I wonder who his main rivals were, mickey mouse and mike bassett must have been 2 of the candidates. Anyone serious believe that this will improve the club????

Wether it does or doesn't we need to show our support, not like you to be miserable, bad day in the bookies mate?

If it wasn't to be Gentles then who would people have wanted. Coaches from lower divisions are out of touch with Superleague.......remember Peter Roe what a farce he turned out to be. So Millward...no thanks...Powell...no thanks
Noble...maybe Cummings/Poaching...a real risk...Goulding/Schofield...least said the better although some on this board deserve them with the comments being handed out!!! For Gods sake get a grip who the hell did people think would take on WTW? Mr. Glover ignore the idiots and please get on with rebuilding our great club.

oh well not my ideal choice but in reality who was our ideal coach!!!!!! people seem to think just because AG has taken over the club we have endless amounts of money to spend which we all know is not going to happen!
Agar may have been 2nd 3rd or even 4th choice with our board but for 1 reason or another but he has managed to become our coach for the next 3 season so lets just give him a chance,because if he fails we all fail,if he is successful then we all have something to cheer! if not we can all tell AG wetold you so!

As a Hull fan, I wish Rich all the very best. He's a top bloke, very honest, who has a canny knack of attracting top players to a club eg Fitzy, O'Meley, Briscoe brothers and Long (albeit the latter was unlucky with injuries!). I think it was just time for a all round change at Hull with a new owner, DoR and direction. We have under-performed this year and some of Hull's players have let Agar down at times, with only down really playing to their potential. Best of luck Rich for the future.

Not my preferred choice either but only based on his results with Hull which have been better of late, I suppose. I just worry that he's cut from the same cloth as Kear.

But he's the Wakefield coach now and has my support and I hope he goes well for us.

As a few people have asked but no ones answered from those of you who are moaning about the appointment of Agar and saying things like jobs for the boys, if Gentle and Millward are out of the equation who would they have picked to be HC and would he have been guaranteed to do better than Agar?

What a stupid question nobody on this earth could be guaranteed to do better.
