Dennis Dominator, more of a bus then a coach, but still better then what you got

If you get rid of Agar/Sharp, how do you plan on paying them off and paying new staff. Uncle Kath isnt going to be keep on parting with money when nobody likes him.

Well the best two coaches around are Bennett and Bellamy but they would never come. Plenty good good coaches we could go for but I would not be looking at Folkes.

Why wouldn't Bennet or Bellamy come, if we had deep enough pockets they would.

The lack of ambition amongst C fans is, at times, staggering.

Dare to dream people, for once.

Bennett had moved to the Dragons and is now topping the table, it would take megabucks and he still would not come. Bellamy has every single resource a top coach would want with Melbourne, there is just no chance he would come to Hull.

Dreams are great but we need to be realistic.

Fair enough, you have no aspiration, that is fine, I have a bit more desire obviously.

Okay lets say we try and get them and fail. Which is highly likely. What happens then?

There is a difference between not having aspirations/desire and having a different view on the likelihood of a given coach accepting an approach.

Money can't actually buy you anything - or at least not the amount of money that we could raise even if the board went balls-out for it. Other factors such as playing roster, board, supporters, facilities, support staff etc. will be in play. All Paul is saying is that we fall short on those other factors compared to the existing clubs these coaches are currently contracted to.

I fall somewhere in between I guess. I'd certainly like us to be at least talking to coaches of that quality and making our best offer, while being sceptical of our chances of persuading them to come.

So why cant someone say theyd have him as a coach? I would.

If we simply accept our lot then we don't progress, it's as easy as that.

Who said anything about accepting our lot?

I don't see how you've made that jump from what Paul's said. Just because he doesn't think Bennett or Bellamy are realistic targets doesn't mean he's happy to stick with Agar.

Personally I think he's right, I don't see either of those 2 ever coaching in SL, particularly Bennett.

Wasn't directed at just Paul.

For the right money Bennet would come.
