couldn't agree more... a club the size of hull should be in alot better state than you are... with your fanbase and your facilities you should be right up there.... you're crying out for some good management.

its a well known fact that the fc board will not pay for a top quality coach, until that changes we will always be around the mid-table area! we're prepared to pay £150k or thereabouts for a player, (probably to keep season pass sales going), but unwilling to pay a decent whack on a good coach!

Absolute ing bull.



Wether you agree or not the board have proven their willing to spend outside the cap but think they've got the right man in Agar.

Wire aren't the Manchester City of Rugby League..... we win trophies.

The Salary Cap Year starts on 1st December. We're already in the 2011 SC year. I guess the payoff must have been entered on the books and registered with the RFL by 30th November and so counted on last year's cap.



Bit of a surprise that they had that much cap left unspent last season.

Yeah - I wish we made big losses and relied on one man for our very existence.

you really think agar is a coach who can take us to the grand final? i don't and i'm sure many others out there agree

That isn't what he said. Sheldon was saying that [ithe board[/i think they've got the right man in Agar.

they think they have, the majority don't!

I dont think Agars seemingly never-ending time in charge is down to the board wanting to save money, think its a deeper problem that their whole philosophy re the coaching staff is seriously flawed,.



Jimmy Rule has said to me himself that he doesn't think who the coach is is that important for achieving success as long as we have a good squad in place. This is really worrying and I told him so but he laughed it off.



Also, every time a manager leaves a club in any sport ex-pros are wheeled out in the media to tell us that managers need more time than they get, stability breeds success and inevitebly bring up the Alex Ferguson example of not winning trophies in his first few years at utd. Jimmy seems to have adopted this line of thinking hook line and sinker but in the process forgetting that while giving someone time is all well and good, he needs to be the right man in the first place.

But the [imajority[/i aren't in a position were they are in full power of a top divison rugby league team, are [ithey[/i?



We're making profits, it's a well known fact, and the board don't seem it necessary to spend on 'big name' coaches.

What big losses, you dont know what your talking about, Warrington have been making a profit each year.
