KEAR OUT !!!!:2552.jpg



Quote: imwakefieldtillidie "I think it needs pointing out that it's in James Elston's best interests to get the appointment right too. If it is Agar, and I'm not sure it will be, I can't see him just giving him the job because they are mates. We all want the right man because Wakefield are our team, but Elston's job is on the line if he chooses the wrong guy. I reckon he has quite a lot to lose if this goes wrong, who ever he appoints.'"


Diane gave the job to about eight different people and her job was never on the line. I doubt it that the Golden Boy's will be too.

That's a really good point.

People are making an assumption that AG is naive and is being hoodwinked by JE into taking his mate on in a big job; let's not forget that AG is a successful businessman, operating at a level far above JE and in a very cut-throat environment. He's hardly likely to be taken in by him to such an extent that he'd risk his new acquisition.

In short, it's safe to assume that if Agar does join us, it's because AG believes he's the right man for the job.

And that will be the first bad decision that AG has made.

Quote: Roonaldo6 "

There must be a reason though, obviously not the one i posted lol but he seems a nice enough bloke and to be fair to him he has done a decent enough job so far. Also you've got to remember it was Elston who persuaded AG that we were a business worth investing in, in short without James Elston there may not have been a Wakefield Trinity all together, it wasn't just a matter of Glover coming in to buy the club he held numerous meetings with JE starting with one about what happens to his sponsorship now the company is in administration. For Elston to turn that particular meeting into a discussion about what we as a club can offer with AG at the helm he surely has to be praised.

Time will tell; since AG pulled the SL rabbit out of the hat, my own view is that he's earned the right to receive the benefit of the doubt.

Mr Agar certainly wasn't my choice, but if he is appointed, I'll back him until I have a reason not to.

In your (and many others it would seem) opinion. For me give the bloke he chance if he does get the gig. If Agar gets us playing entertaining rugby, decent cup runs and a bash at the play offs in a hypothetical three year contract would you still be saying it was a bad decision?

I just put Agar head to head with Kear in a game of top trumps and just dont see where he actually beats him in any managerial areas. You know when you play Top Trumps and you know that certain player cant be beat on that certain area... Agar just doesnt have that oomph about him.

Im well impressed with the way the club have gone out and bought the right players, I just think we may have taken a backward step if the Agar appointment is true in the management decision. And obviously the rumours of him holding hands and skipping down Doncaster Road with Elston doesnt help that thought either !

I'm still not 100% convinced Agar will be Head Coach. I wouldn't be shocked to see him as Director of Rugby (not sure what they do though, and wasn't he offered that role at Hull?) or as assistant to a more experienced coach to be groomed for the top job.

If we wanted a Director Of Rugby role then Kear would have fitted the bill perfectly. (Shorter hours, less of a hands on role etc..). I dont think we need one as Elstons playing days will probably mean he covers that role in his CE role in the same way Ferres had a big say on certain things when he was in the CE role too.

Key word in there is think. Basically its all down to opinions and we all differ with them and rightly so. FWIW Agar wouldn;t be my prefered choice and if he does get the job I honestly don't believe it is because he played at Dewsbury with Elston and they are best buddies, I believe it will be for the right reasons. From what we've read on here (may or may not be true) Agar wasn't our first choice so maybe if he is appointed then he's the best of the rest. All I say is give whoever gets the job a chance to prove themselves, in 12 months time judge him, don't judge him now on his performance at another club under differnet management and structrures.

Agreed. Unless AG wants Elston to concentrate solely on the business side of things then I believe a DOR would be a waste of vital resources
