We, the undersigned, wish to petition for the immediate removal of Richard Agar from his position as Head Coach of Hull FC. We do so on the following grounds:

1) That performances throughout his tenure have not been of an acceptable standard given the playing staff as his disposal. Lack of support play, poor defensive line speed, lack of any discernible attacking structure and the tendency for our edge defence to be exposed have been features of our play for the entire time that Richard Agar has been in charge of the first team. There has been little to no improvement in these areas.

2) The interchanges executed by the coach seem to make little sense. Some players seem to be forced into playing many more minutes than they ought to whilst others play only for very short spells to the detriment of the overall team performance.

3) Agar seems unable to motivate his players for big games. The recent derbies and the last two home games against Leeds are standout examples of this, but there have been many throughout Agar's tenure.

4) Most fans watch rugby league for entertainment. Our style of rugby under Richard Agar has been anything other than entertaining. We are also amongst the most expensive team to watch in the entire competition. It is time that the standard of entertainment improved to reflect this fact.

5) Off the field, we are a top-performing club. We have one of the highest average attendances in Super League and excellent merchandise sales. We are constantly reminded of our 'Grade-A' licence status, yet, when it comes to results on the field, we're no better than Grade B or C.

We, as loyal fans of Hull FC, will support this club through thick and thin provided we know that those running the club are doing everything within their power to bring us the success we deserve. As things stand, we feel that this is not the case. Until Richard Agar is replaced with a top-quality coach with a proven track record of success, the feeling amongst the signatories below will be that you are doing both the club and the fans a great disservice.


If you agree with the above, please sign our petition.

WE Welcome comments, but those that are just slanderous, contain swearing or abusive language will be deleted, please keep it respectable guys.

PLEASE IGNORE if it asks you to donate any money as this is not part of the petition. It only seems to have set this up after the petition has reached a certain number of signatures. This is not a petition to raise money, only to raise awareness! Your signature will still be counted.**
