Quote: east hull FC fan "ok then :- Agar - Should go but when you consider that we havent really had continuity in that role for some time I'm to give him chance with his own squad, but things need to be drastic for the start of next season

Tactics - strange, but given our lack of power, playing an extra big guy at LF makes a little sense. Although given our lack of creativity from the halves policy should of changed.

Recruitment - Shoddy in the past, agar has made 3 good signings for next year, plus the retention of, Burnett, briscoe and washy makes me think agar could be good at this.

Board - Need to realize they've took the club as far as they can.

There you go, now it's time to dis-credit!
Interesting points. here's my take on the areas you've mentioned:

Agar - not head coach material. Doesn't seem to have the personality or the man management skills to get the best out of a group of players. No matter who they are or who assembled them, there will always be difficult people to deal with and he doesn't seem able. A lack of continuity isn't a reason to keep an underperforming person IMO, it's a reason to go out and find the right person

tactics - terrible. From his apparant lack of a game plan, through us not particulary looking at oppostition plays, strengths and weaknesses to his interchange policy. Every facet of our tactical approach to games is flawed. This is a key area for any team who does not have the playing personnel to win games with their quality alone

Recruitment- the jury's out for me. he's re-signed cusack and radford who are both average workhorses and not what the team needs. lauaiki may be great for us or poor (if he ever gets here). Of the 3 new players coming in, 2 are well in their 30's and the other is a player who wasn't a regular in the leeds team last season. long may turn out to be a great signing but I don't believe he will reach the heights he has at saints. fitzgibbon isn't the type of player our forward pack is desperate for. We don't know who else is coming in or which OOC players are re-signing but I honestly don't see that the team will be transformed for 2010

board - we need to distinguish between the board and the shareholders. I don't have a problem with the shareholders. they have kept the club afloat and taken us to success on and off the field. i feel our main weakness is at CEO. rule is inexperienced and it shows. We have made some bad mistakes since he took over. I also don't know how much "power" he has and what decisions he can take himself. We need a more experienced person in the role IMO.

No, it's his opinion and nothing more.

I don't know why people listen, we all know what sort of things will be said, Rule is hardly going to be controversial even if he agreed with the disgruntled fans.

I have not listened to one of his shows yet and have no intention of doing so.

A lot is said of FC as a business and how successful it has been. And this is true. So, rule is CEo of that business. Congrats on the success. So, you can replace the word fan up above with customer. We are all customers of the business he is CEO of. In which case, if a CEO wants to go public and speak to disgruntled customers, I for one think he needs to face up to some of the issues and give us straight answers and tell us what is what, and what is going to happen come what may. I would respect him a lot more if he came out and said Agar is coach for next season even if we lose every game between now and then. What Rule et al need to realise is that he is messing about his customers, some of which (unlike me) will not be a customer next season. As a CEO this is a severe business failure and he needs to wake up, be a little controversial if necessary and deal with the issues at hand.

I know plenty of people who are giving up their passes next season and who will pick and choose games dependant on form. I'll no doubt renew mine but mainly to keep the reserved seast I have and will probably pick and choose myself if form doesn't improve

Quote: dravid67 "i know this sounds silly but if the gameplan aint working there is enough experience out there just to say ,hang on a minute this aint working lets try this or that ?? I think thats the main point people are missing when they are calling for agars head! Why cant the players execute different plays to suit different opposition? Think people believe agar tells the players 'dont bother putting 100% in lads, something will happen for us'!! The attitude of the players on the pitch is more of an issue, and before you all get on about agars man management and motivational skills, a player should take pride in their own performances without having to be told to play well.
