Paul he picked em cos he had no other choice, did he develop any of them into better players? debatable. Houghton has come on no question, but the lad was a class act anyway.

Nobody is suggesting otherwise, merely that his past suggests certain areas of concern.

I'll be supporting him and the players 100% as usual. Unlike some on here (not you), I don't pick and choose based on personal prejudices.

Think the majority of Hull fans are feeling, like me, very disappointed and totally underwelmed at this appointment. It is obviously first and foremost the cheapest option that this board have gone for, like they always do. It may prove to be the correct one, only time will tell, but the board should take no credit whatsoever.
To promote from within should only be done when the outgoing coach has been sucessful, continuing with what is already in place. In our case a complete clean sweep is needed. Agar has been shown by the two coaches he has worked under how not to do the job, but how does he know how to do it ?
Steve Folkes has already expressed an interest in the job. With his background and experience the board should have paid him whatever he wanted to do the job. Just watch him go to Warrington now and turn them around.
With premiership football now on offer a big money leader/playmaker must be brought in for next season or season pass sales will be pitiful.

I truly believe he has been breed for the job for some time now, he admitted openly he didn't want it when Kear went and I think we are all of the opinion Peter Sharp's contract was never going to be renewed.

I think it's great for the guy and having seen first hand the respect the players have for him that has to be a start.

Richard also has his own contacts within the RL world with his England contributions and also what he doesn't know he Dad certainly will.

He was a very prolific and well known in RL circles in the 80's alone.

Give the guy a chance, go British for a change and let's see what he can do.

He has my support fully and has also hopefully shut all the rumour mill up for a while too and that in itself is worth it.

The all seeing and knowing eyes and ears won't know whats hit them now.

Good luck Richard you deserve the chance.

Thats what I said, he blooded them well enough and got them started but has not developed them, ptoential has to be realised therwise its just wasted.

I don't see it as an area for concern, he was working to the rule of another head coach. The only time he got to do things his way we scored a few points and won some games.

Yes, ive corrected it now.

Well congratulations Rich Agar and i'll support you 100%, however i am seriously underwhelmed and frankly cheesed off! I just hope to god Agar is the right man for us. He has a tall job on his hands though, he needs to introduce an effective kicking game, a game that allows creativity, offloads and support play, a mean defence and some expansive play out wide all of which we haven't seen since McRea left........all of which haven't been evident while Agar has been assistant coach!!!!



Please prove me wrong Rich because as i type this i'm seriously considering renewing my season pass for next year - i'll support the black and whites forever as i have done for the last 30 years but i'm so down at this news!

Furthermore i hope the board pull some major fecking signings off for next year or else Rule and Kath need stringing up for taking two weeks mid season break to Aus for no fecking reason!!!!!

No reason you say, have you seen their suntans they're superb.

Maybe Sharp was just a stop gap until Agar was ready and that has been the clubs plan since JK left? who knows.
