I hope for your sake you don't end up with Kath Hetherington involved at some stage, having Fubar is bad enough!

You never know - the season's not over yet - might change a few opinions if he gets Hull to GF this year.

Anyone know if he's bring Willie Manu with him?

How sweet would that be.

Is that the laugh of a madman while everything at Odslum goes into freefall and reality starts to bite ?.Poor ground,disillusioned coach,players who couldnt care less and fans who dont buy team shirts they just rent them week by week according to results.

Agar was always up against it at Hull.

He inherited a squad in 2008 full of poor recruitment & rentention decisions from the previous two coaches, Kear & Sharp. He then faced a season and a half of a chronic injury crisis, together with no playmaker (Dykes was injured, Thorman was awful).

The past two years have been better. He brought in Long, Fitz, O'Meley, and established Houghton & Briscoe as first teamers.

This year, we had an awful start and one we've failed to recover from. Since then we're 11 wins from 16 I believe, although we've struggled against the top teams. We've posted a few 50+ scores and alot more tries than recent years and our brand of rugby is alot more exciting than it has been.

Unfortunately, Agar lost the respect and trust from the fans. Our attendances have gone down by 3k. He's also prone to some baffling rotation desicions and as has been said, doesn't give too many youngsters their chances.

He's still a young coach and will get better. He's held in very high regard by the players and is very knowledgeable about RL. His tactics and perhaps motiviation skills seem to be what let him down.

All in all, I'm glad he's left Hull as we desperately needed some change and I wish him all the best.

Oh dear I feel for you guys you make an amazing escape to stay in super league and then get saddled with Agar or dear.

Agar with a far better squad then Wakefield ever had couldnt win us anything, and couldnt even beat a super league team in the challenge cup so god help him with your squad.

No chance of Manu joining you guys either

The thing is, that’s being sold to us as one of Agar’s virtues.

you're being lied to.

This is exactly how I feel - it's hard not to have your judgement coloured by the "Agar Out" contingent. If you look beyond that he's got a lot going for him. Good luck Richard.

I'm sorry to see you making the same mistakes that we previously made, yet again.

After we promoted John Kear beyond his capabilities to the position of Head Coach, we did the same with Richard Agar.

There is no doubting the technical, coaching abilities of each man, unfortunately there is much more to the role than that.

Good luck lads, you'll need it I'm afraid.

I have no idea but that press release is just comical, surely the man who likes detail should be checking this before it gets released!!

Elston in charge.

yeah I noticed that

The four the article mentions are Briscoe, Houghton, Lyne and Turner.

Briscoe is a freak of nature and would have come through at any club.

Houghton has learnt the hooking role from two of the best hookers in recent years, Swain & Berrigan.

Turner was signed from Salford two years ago where he was already a regular. he hasn't really nailed down a spot at FC yet, although has had a good run at centre recently.

Lyne has made a handful of appearences on the wing, and seems out of his depth at SL level.

Two players in 3 and a half years is not good enough, especially when we've signed around 20 foreign players in the same period.

What a load of horse poop.

He had 4 years to change the team how he saw fit and is still garbage. The team only started playing when AP took over and Agars days were numbered

If you think Agar was up against it at Hull, what chance has he at Wakefield?

the sign of a good coach is a coach who can make a rubbish team better.

John Kear, Brian Noble, Justin Morgan, Tony Smith, Nathan Brown are examples

The sign of a rubbish coach is one who can take a top side and make them mediocre

Richard Agar & Steve Mcnamara are examples
