It's funny, isn't it, how people views change as the situation increases in desperateness. When his name was first mooted at the beginning of the season most derided it and said we should be aiming higher, Nobby was "poor" not what we need. Only a World Class coach would do.

Now he's an all-encompassing genius who we must have at all costs before Leeds get their horns in him.

The truth is probably as usual somewhere in the middle. I'm sure Wigan would say he was average compared to McGuire, Crusaders would say good compared to Dixon, and we'd say very good compared to Agar...

Any way, we need him. Now.

I never said that, and I don't recall too many others saying it either. Of course, if 'most' said it, you'll be able to point to several posts containing those sentiments.



I never said that, and I don't recall too many others saying it either. I said he was a 'very good' coach who could get us to the level where we are able to compete with the top teams. I even expressed some reservation as to whether he was the man to lead us to silverware.



You don't say? Like I (and several others) have said all along. That you imagined otherwise doesn't change that.



Wigan would say average? I don't think so. He laid the groundwork for what McGuire is achieving now. If you don't believe me, ask McGuire. He lead Crusaders to their first ever top 8 finish and they've dropped right back since he left. I think they might just hold him in high regard, too.



Him, or someone like him, yes.

I've changed my avatar back, in full support of this sentiment.

Whichever way you slice it,this season is a no,no.The only good thing being there is no relegation,otherwise we would be crapping ourselves.

I really wish there was relegation then then board would do something now instead of waiting until Agars contract expires

You do agree it's time for him to go though don't you wolfs?

There's nothing to stop them coming out and admitting things are unacceptable and need to improve though. It's the fact they're seemingly ignoring it that annoys the fans. Didn't the SKY commentators say that hudgell had written a piece to that effect in the dobbins programme for the leeds match?

just watched the "highlights"

jesus christ we are bad

I think people are saying that the board would see it as vindication for keeping agar, not that they believe agar should stay just for winning the derby

You think noble would work under agar?

Well,as no other ferker is,I guess the answer is ,no.

how is a noble or hasler gunna make the likes of horne yeaman whiting long fitz dowes radford the list is endless any better ? this squad 5 years ago would have won sl...unfortunatly we are 5 years too late

Fair comment, maybe they need to change their spin to keep more fans happy - if that's possible any more. But if Hudge did say those things it doesn't mean they're doing more than our board is behind the scenes to rectify things...however you're completely right at least it gives them some semblance of credibility that they're in step with the fans and that they're all in it together.
