| Apart from the dismal display today, another thing that got me down was the lack of protest fom the stands. We seem to be just rolling over and letting this happen. I don't know the terms of Agar's contract but I don't think it is likely that many if any fans on the terraces or on here do either. I want answers from the club. What does it cost to be rid of him? Are you looking at it? If not, WHY THE HELL NOT??!! I think we now need to put pressure on the club with a more vocal and visible prostest. We need some 'Agar out' to be heard at the match. We need some banners. We need to make our feelings felt before its too late, because all I felt today on th pitch and around the whole gound was resignation. I watched Blackpool FC fans pelt the pitch with tennis balls and stop the game to get thei feelings heard tonight on sky. I am NOT suggesting we go that far but I think just walking away depressed and hoping is not the way now. Time to put pressure on fom the terraces fo me. AGAR OUT!

| Or maybe all those people in the stands don't agree with doing that.

Not one fan I know wants Agar to stay. I am beginning to think based on your other post today talking about the huge improvement in our performance that you have either been drinking heavily today or you are somehow related to Mr Agar.

| It seems to me that the accepted wisdom is, well we can't afford to sack Agar (though I reckon you would get a 75% sack vote if you put it out) so we should just sit here and take it. I don't think we should accept this lying down. As for Pop Tart's belief..well I respect you have a right to your view but I really can't see what you base it on. We were 5% better than the utterly abysmal performance I saw v HKR. Which does not say a lot.

| What I don't understand is that, when you read interviews with players, they all seem to rate RA as a coach! IF that's the case, then why aren't they doing it for him on the pitch? Does seem he's lost the plot somewhere judging by some of the team selections!

He's their mate! Therein lies the problem I suspect. You don't want to argue with your mate but you can ignore what he says when it suits you. It's hard to be the leader, make tough calls, ball cock people when they need it and be ruthless when required when you are all mates. I think this 'great team spirit' they talk about is actually a reflection of the boys club they have become. There is just not enough discipline or fight in that outfit at the moment and the pals club may well be part of it for me. The word is Agar is a nice guy...be that as it may, I'm sorry Richard, nice guy or not, your team is not working as well as it should and you are not motivating them, that is obvious

| Perhaps it's time for a whip round - I reckon enough people would contribute to make it affordable for us to get rid.

I am not a rich man but I pledge £100. Only needs a 1000 to do same and maybe RA might take it to have a beach holiday and stop wrecking our club

| Too little too late. Agar out? Be honest who wanted him in? 2 years ago id be irate. Now I'm
past even caring. It sickens me to say it as a 25 year long fan. But I don't enjoy anything about matchday any more and that is down to one man. Agar.
Michael thanks for all you've done but for the sake of WTWRLFC launch this moron whatever it costs before it's too late.

| Lol, alas I am not related to Agar and I think he owes me at the moment for defending him.
But I've not really said I want him to stay.
What I've said is,
1)I don't see a better option for us
2) The reasons people are putting up are not all him
E.g.. there are just as many posts saying he should play the young guys and not play the likes of Washbrook as are saying that tinkering with the side is wrong. Can't both be right.
I don't want a change just because we got beat by Leeds and Cas. Both are better sides than us at the moment. We can build something good at Wakefield and although Agar is not looking great, building rather than reacting is better for us at the moment.
I think we have it in us to do better but confidence is low and it takes time.

I totally agree Charlie, enough is enough and I believe a large percentage would agree with you too. I am sick to the back teeth of the same effortless displays, the same soft tries conceded, the same players picked who've had chance after chance to do something but still do not deliver, the same 8 tries or more conceded every game, the same pathetic tackling. What the hell does this coach do all week? Same old excuses after every game, "we've got some things to fix up this week " Flaming fix 'em up then! The guy talks a helluva good game but my goodness he doesn't know how to win one.

| I said if Cas put 40+ on us Agar has to go. Nothing will change my decision.

| We could all protest but ones things for sure Agar wont go of his own accord he showed that when at Hull look at the verbal he got from those fans and still continued until his contract ran out.

You are right, he will not walk, the protests he will get from Wakey fans will seem like compliments after being at Hull.
If he would just stop dicking around with the team and making excuses, it would be slightly better.
Someone has to take the decision out of his hands.
It's a huge call but one that has to be made.
