Perhaps Agar is a nice bloke who gets on with everyone? The players may genuinely believe the hype that he's had ( essentially for being young and British ) and enjoy working with him. Unfortunately that has nothing to do with being an effective and successful coach or manager. Being pushed out of your comfort zone isn't necessarilly a pleasant thing at the time but a coach has got to do that on occasions and convince players that rewards will come from it. As a player if you're being told you're going well and not being asked for more why would you question it? Why wouldn't you support your coach? I just think it's all too cosy and familiar and it needs a complete change of people and ideas that will challenge the players we have. Cultures come from the top down. Our culture doesn't produce results. Change it.

Wasn't Rommel was it? If so I strongly suspect any plans of a bronze statue of Radford will be put on hold.

Agar is still trying to play the game as Brian Smith did, thing is the games moved on even Bradford have at last realised this.

No a very pour coach in my opinion even in our dark days our coaches showed flashes of brilliance, Agar never has.
