Quote: JMSports_Ltd "I have no concern for Rich Agar other than I dont want to see a good bloke lose his job because certain players think they are above club rules and can go drinking, one of which is injured and one of which plays about 10 minutes then blows out of backside. Professional? What a load of crap. They would be doing that whichever club they play for because they think they are superstars.

Trust me, if it wasn't for the holidaying CEO and his band of merry men I am sure some of these clowns would be out of their ear and some hard working players would be here in their place such.

Unfortunately players like Mike Burnett and Kyle Briggs dont sell season tickets and shirts at the start of the year however other SL clubs are happy to have them.

Again, I'm not saying Agar is blameless but he certainly aint the root of all evil and is not the clueless Muppet he is painted out to be.'"

Quote: JMSports_Ltd "How do you control them though BB?

They banned them from Weir bar and they moved somewhere else.

You know who I am talking about here, do you really think those three are going to listen to anybody? They think they are above having to answer to people.

I'm not so sure he did choose all of these players either, however I dont know that to be right for certain.

From what I have been told by people within the dressing room he is a great motivator, proven on occasions. For some reason the lazy feckers out on the park who are taking the last pay day they can get dont worry about that.

You can see how hard Tom Briscoe, Radders, Fitz, Yeamo etc are trying but unless the rest of the players start putting in 100% on and off the pitch they will be wasting their energy.'"


What completely undermines your argument here is that Agar was backed to the hilt with his cull at the beginning of his reign. We were told all about the clearout of dead wood and bad influences and the new discipline Agar was bringing. It was also shown again with the way Tansey was dismissed. So this stance that he is stuck with these players and he can't do anything about either their presence or their behaviour holds no water at all.

How do other clubs/coaches control their players then? Better coach, sign the right players in the first place , have the right structure in place...? Surely having a disciplined , bonded playing staff is part of the coaches job? He signs the players he wants , he looks after them and gets the best out of them. he's paid to do that and he's paid to communicate with the press and supporters these days. It's no good just wanting everything to be ok as a coach he has to make it so.

I think JM Sports might actually be Rich's Mam. That's the only sensible explanation I can see for his contributions to this thread.

icon_smile.gif He certainly seems to have a soft spot for him, maybe when Agar finally gets the boot from FC JM Sports can fix him up with a job in the store room of his shop?

Do you think that some of the behind the scenes stuff would put off any top class coaches from accepting the Hull post should Agar decide that enough is enough?

Without a shadow of a doubt.

To be fair I dont know why or what a top class coach is.

Justin Morgan was not a top class coach and maybe still is not considered to be one but the KR fans in the most part want him there.

Same with Terry Materson at Cas and Rob Powell at Quins.

Hull need to start looking at a few underlying issues within the club instead of sacking coaches and expecting the next man to take crap for a few years before doing the same. Richard Agar will get a job, Peter Sharp went straight into another job and has since gone to Australia and had a choice of jobs and John Kear and Mcrae both seem to have carved out pretty decent careers after leaving Hull.

Surely all of those blokes cant be bad otherwise they would of gone for good but they are all still in the game at the highest level.

Once he leaves us, Agar will never be a head coach in SL again.

Kear had won a Challenge Cup before he came to us and another one with us. McRae had won SL with Saints and taken us nearly to the top. If he leaves tomorrow, Rich Agar has the square route of precisely nothing that he can point to to justify him getting another crack at the top level.

Except for the fact that he is so well thought of in the game he was wanted for the England job.

Whats to say he wouldnt become an assistant and take over again?

He could lead a Championship side into Super League. Wakefield, Fev, Barrow?

You can never say never.

I follow Quins and believe me, not one person I spoke to game after game down there though Mac would work again when he left Quins.

Depsite the crap he got for the time he was down there the people who knew what he was doing from day to day are now seeing the fruits with plenty of young English lads getting game time and doing a pretty decent job so far this year too (forget today or I look silly) icon_lol.gif

Leeds have not given him the job because he is cheap, or for the way he took Quins to 11th, it was because people got off their ass and bothered to check the work he was doing.

Richard Agar can coach, I'm not sure Hull will give him enough time to prove it but someone will.

Everyone has their own opinion and I respect yours, fact is neither of us know for sure what the future holds buddy.

No, I'm allowed to change my mind on the new coach before the current one is "binned"

I agree with a lot of your sentiment regarding laying the blame at the players feet and not just Agar, I have been saying that for long enough on here. The thing is that Agar has had the job a while now and has had the chance to clear out players who behave badly and this is now his team. There are still so many things we do badly, support play, defensive line speed, defensive technique, winning the floor, passing the ball wide quickly I could go on.

A lot of this is players attitudes I agree but it is up to the head coach to change these attitudes and if he can't control the players then that is another thing he is not doing well enough.

I won't be campaigning to get the guy the sack but I don't think we can go on to win things or challenge for trophies with him in charge, he just seems a touch out of his depth.
