I'm not 100% certain but i don't think Phil Brown was parkinsons assistant?
forgive me if he was, i honestly don't remember.

I hear what you're saying but I don't think it's quite the same.

He was his assistant.

they where near the bottom like Hull, the club had faith in him, it paid off.

The big different is that he had the backing of the board to sign the players he wanted, i have doubts that Agar will have that.

Spot On!

And before he came to City he was manager at Derby and got sacked after 7 months.

All the best RA.

thing is that when brown took over City were almost relegated and then spent the first half of this year looking very ordinary.

Bet Agar won't get a season and half to turn FC round. And I bet paying him off if he fails won't be too much of an issue either, guarantee he won't be on the sort of salary that most coaches are.

he should be given enough time he also should be in charge of signings and resignings because if carvell, thackray, king and wheeldon all leave there isn't a coach in the world who could acheive anything with us next season.

He should be given to the end of the season and see if things are improving, if not he's out. A good coach will turn things around straight away like Noble did at Wigan

so when are we announcing the signing of two players?

I expect to see improvments, Wigan brought in Dobson and spent nearly 500K on one player, and still didnt make the play offs.

Too expect him to turn things around straight away with the same squad is just stupid, your attitude towards Agar is embarrasing.

agar has just been given the hardest job in super league if he can get 8th i'd say hes done very well.

Last is definitely Agar's assistant. Quote I have worked with Andy Last for the last four years and he is someone that I trust and have faith in. He is a tremendous coach and person and this is our chance to make our mark. Agar has also confirmed that 27-year-old Andy Last - who also served under Sharp - will step up as his right-hand man but accepts he will need to strengthen his coaching staff in the long term. He said: "I have worked with Andy Last for the last four years and he is someone that I trust and have faith in. He is a tremendous coach and person and this is our chance to make our mark. "I am happy to continue to work with Andrew in the short term but long term we will need to bring someone in as we are quite light-handed at the moment. "I have a couple of names in mind and I need to check out their availability and see whether or not they can compliment what Andrew and I bring to the management team."
