| I m not experienced in business, but without loss of £300k ( am I correct, here?) through sponsor (EF) going under, wouldn't we be less than £100k down( assuming loss of £300k had knock-on adverse effect on finances) ?
As we are, in effect, a start-up 2 years in, isn't this where we'd expect to be ( I assume, with only one play -off game & poor cup runs in that time it would be unrealistic to be anywhere near profitability)?
I'm not defending anyone or trying to undermine any opinions or suggestions for the future direction of our club,, just curious as to why we are in this place, now ( wrt our position at time AG took over).
Of related interest, can anyone say what our turnover is (& so, what is the relative size of our loss?) & how this compares to similar SL or championship clubs ( ie those without rich benefactors or ability to draw regular crowds of over 15k).

| What rugby knowledge is that then.
Having recently read John Kear's autobiography, he mentioned that maybe rather than a coaching role, he said he may be more suited nowadays to more of an advisory role within a club or the RFL, and as we all know, his history of getting the best out of players of a lower standard is second to none.
Am I putting 2 and 2 together, or could a role like this within the club be beneficial to us, especially as we will need to strengthen at some point, but without much financial resource.

Dont know what sort of terms Kear left on but if they were good I would not be surprised at all to see him back with you again next season if Agar goes to france as predicted. Hes the man you want when its backs to the wall.

He got a pretty emotional send-off after the Bradford game. Most fans were grateful for what he did. Some were frustrated by the limitations of his methods, perhaps rightly so, but you can never ignore the background against which a coach has to operate. If you could create some kind of Kear/Agar hybrid, I think you'd be pretty close to as good as you could get, coaching-wise.

Wasn't suggesting he was. Just playing Dr Frankenstein games with rugby league coaches.
