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.

The feedback I keep getting from the stands is exactly what I feared because the frustration is only growing with every match. I am exhausted by the lack of progress but giving up is not an option when the club deserves so much better than what we are seeing on the pitch.

Tactics are a joke. No clue how to use the bench either. Just go please.
Look at the squad we have and look at how we play. It doesn't add up. Agar has lost the plot.
Enough is enough. Been watching for 20 years and this is the worst rugby I have ever seen. Get him out.
Total waste of money watching these lads play with zero structure. SORT IT OUT.
Embarrassing performances every week. My kids are bored stiff at the games now. Time for a change.

Fed up of the excuses. We deserve a coach who plays actual rugby.
