All WERE very good players.

Are we talking about the bloke who has coached a team into a guaranteed play off spot this year and (stranger things have happened) could make it to the grand final

If the club have chosen him lets give him a chance before we all kill ourselves.

If you support the team then I'm afraid you to have support all those in & around that team apart from if your initials are JK,PB & CS

:

A few thousand people in Humberside would contend that they have made the play-offs DESPITE Agar, not because of him!

For a genuinely big club like Hull to be scraping into the play-offs...

Heremeia is one of the form hookers in NRL ATM. Crocker went back the following year and played Origin? Fitzgibbon and O'Meley both played in the Exiles game and are 2 of the best forwards in the league.

Hull FC should be in the playoffs every single year without fail, there shouldn't be a need to 'scrape in'. They are one of the biggest clubs in the league, Agar has dragged them down in his time there.

Don't embarrass yourself, they all still are very good players with a very high pedigree.

If this is true, what about the statement at the Trust meeting that Agar wouldn't be coming (a very clear statement by JE) and recently that the person is someone not mentioned yet? I will wait for the official announcement but I'm not hopeful.

The Hull FC fans are wondering why it has been announced before their Top 8 play-off games - I can only think it is because we would be announcing the appointment at or just before our last match on Friday so they had to do something.

Like some others I would prefer to keep John Kear with new management and new money. No matter what people say Agar has had a lot of money, great crowds, big stadium, press support and Hull are still makeweights in the top 8. That doesn't bode well.

Even if true I'll still get my season ticket as it's the team I support, but I may be depressed for a long time (about 3 years until the next franchise).

If you go get Agar there you won't be bringing kids through as you have been doing for the past few years - he's scared to give them a go. We've had three kids from the U20s play Super League in the past three years which is a poor record really. Also, as some of you guys have already alluded to, scraping into the top eight by the skin of our teeth is something that shouldn't be happening. Agar has had the full cap to play with and has even had the luxury of paying transfer fees which is something most clubs haven't done for a long time. Put simply, his tenure hasn't been good enough, hence the reason he's gone.
