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.

Isn`t Garry Schofield looking for a job?

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?

I feel sorry for him because people dont know the facts behind the scenes and he is taking the flack for everything when a large percentage is down to other people.

He's been in the office a few times but I'm not sure he is ready to start doing fitting sessions with netball teams just yet, you have to earn that right!!

you feel sorry for agar hes the man in charge of this squad that hes put together and quite simple he aint getting the best from the team and more importantly he aint getting the results now im pretty sure as a coach he has and is failing as a coach of this great club.

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?

No , only the money.

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)



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.

agar not enough time he been in charge nearly 3 years now and weve managed to go backwards give him anymore time and this club will struggle to get 8,9k crowds
