cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

| Just taken the Sydney City Roosters (or Easts to those of an older generation) from bottom of the pile to Grand Finalists in 12 short months. Goes to show what a differance quality coaching can make to a side.
Sort of puts improving from 12th to 6th into the shade somewhat.

as I have said before, he nearly bankrupt the club and f'd off at his own leisure, wouldn't be welcome back for this FC fan.

He was clos to the fans too on the field at the end celebrating with the lads and the crowd A great bloke! I am quite proud that he cut his teeth with us!

Qualities he quite cleary still possesses.
It is the hallmark of an excellent coach. The ability to extract the maximum out of your players and to formulate and implement a gameplan which best utilise's your players strengths whilst covering their deficiences wherever possible. This is essentially what he did (and has continued to do throughout his career) during his time with us.
Funnily enough, his brother has the same ability. Getting the likes of Bridge, Hicks, Riley, Westwood etc playing to a standard that few thought they were capable of.
This isn't intended as yet another Agar out thread, but until our club takes the decisive step in appointing a coach with those qualities and abilities we will continue to be a team who are on the outside looking in when the trophies are being handed out.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.
Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you.

Although i dont know what went on with the money side of things....i would have him back as coach as his record stacks up and is better than Agar ever will be........wouldnt he be better with a stronger board as well as i think you mentioned before that the board at the time wouldnt say no to him?

The Man with a van . eating the hairy pie: |
|
| People forget how good a coach he was .just as Wilf says he made mediocre players into world beaters.One player comes to mind is Eastwood who went on tour with GB keeping that little welsh out of the team .I think he was one of the highest points scorer of that tour

663_1379281559.jpg [b:1g6itio7][color=#000000:1g6itio7]Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.; [/color:1g6itio7][/b:1g6itio7]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_663.jpg |

I wasn't actually advocating the return of Brian Smith to FC as coach in my original post (not that he would anyway). I was merely pointing out how a top grade coach can make a difference to any side, as he did with us 20 years ago.
I agree with you, it's not wise to go back, it very rarely works outs.

| Can't people just give Agar a fair and proper chance??
We are improving, and have gone from 12th to 6th (should've been 4th). We've beaten this years only grand finalists (so far) at home and away...
I takes a bit of time to sort out the mess that the previous coaches left behind!! but we're getting there!
