You may well be right. Mr Pearson will want to keep the support steady at the very least in the short term [once support is lost it is hard to get it back]. Maybe a care-taker will be here in charge until the close season, if Richard Agar moves on.

Does anyone have a link to is post match comments? Blunderside shut up shop before he gave it!

i hope im wrong, but after reading adam pearsons comments on sat.in the mail, about letting agar get on with the job of turning us into one of SL most successful clubs and giving him the tools he needs to drive the team forward,i cant believe hes going to sack him two days later..i know he cant take over and say "im going to sack the coach as soon as possible"..well not in public at least!! I for one will be amazed if he gets the boot before the season ends.

From the BBC website match report;

Hull coach Richard Agar:

"We were defending for a massive chunk, the opening 15 minutes of the second half.

"I always felt we had points in us but we saw so little of the football, we didn't give ourselves enough of a chance."

Agar has to go and has to go this week. He proved beyond doubt today that he is not capable of being a Head Coach at SL level. He was out thought and made idiotic interchanges such as starting the 2nd half without Ogre or Moa knowing the fact that Leeds would be hurt and come out firing, they bossed us from the start of the 2nd half and turned the game, He then takes one of the players off who was having a great game in Turner, did the same with Phelps? WTF!!!! He proved yet again if a game starts to change he is fecking clueless and has no answer or able to change his tactic from his plan A which is the same every week.
Yes the players made some mistakes but they were not the reason we lost, we losed as yet again as the opposing coach out coached Agar.

You could give Agar a full Aussie Test team and he'd turn them from world beaters to a bag of with his coaching, truly awful and he's had more than enough time, its just failure after failure, it doesnt matter what tools you give him.

Ahem.

Brian Smith not doing to well at the Roosters. Maybe an option?

Yes, please.

I'd be amazed. Don't believe he has it in him

Being out thought 3 times in 6 months by brian mcdermott is reason enough to get the sack IMO

Interesting. If Agar is retained beyond season end he'll get at least until May when he'll be into his 5th season as coach. Think Pearson will act way before that, just a question of when.

I think the decline in numbers will see him gone this season.
