As a neutral (Wigan) fan today. I don't see how you can blame Agar for the stupid high tackles and Tickle kicking out on the full. I'm sure he didn't tell the players to do that. In the first half you had three great chances but put the ball down, that's not Agars fault.

wigan play and execute fantastic attacking rugby with great shape and structure but i suppose thats not maguires fault is it?

You'll see how much can be "the coach's fault" when Maguire leaves.

Agar has to go in the next few weeks or the season ticket sales for next season will be dire.

Pearson was very quick to pull the plug on his (expensive) gambles on Jan Molby and Phil Parkinson so I have faith he will act swiftly to remove Agar.

Why do I have to?

He is under contracts, AP said he will take his time to see what needs doing and this season is a lost cause now anyway.

We need a new coach for the offseason and onwards. AP may have already made up his mind but won't do anything immediately unless Rich hands in his resignation.

I've got a horrible feeling that's the new "wait until he's got his own team".

More pages than War and Peace that book.

The floater is about to get flushed, 4 years too late but it's happening and thank god. Agar winning today and getting Cas in the Semis would have been a disaster, barring the Dowie abomiation Pearson knows a loser when he sees one, look out for thick Rich on a checkout near you soon!

Bloody hell were you been hiding Brindley?

Keeping my powder dry/ realising I was fighting a losing battle

To the Wigan fan above, your team is everything I want mine to be but you ought to be praying they don't give Wane the job or you'll realise what FC fans have been through for the last few years... He's a decent tubthumper and does a stirling job of sporting the garish e your merchandising department churns out, but put him in charge and you'll soon wake up to the intellecual vacuum that is English RL coaching.

Have you heard something to suggest this or just expressing the fans' collective aspirations?

AP knew what he was saying when he said head coach was the Important man. He now has enough ammunition to fire him but my fear is Agarr has a generous compo if fired.
Rest of season won't be easy and Agarr could do honorable thing and do a mutual release from contract so he isn't fired nor resigned.

Anyway he is sh*t so however he goes I have never cared since 2008.

Welcome back Gary...Rock God is back, we just need Big Dave now

He should go as the gates for the last few gates will be very low, if the faithful are given a wiff of optimism they may come. Sacking Agar now will give out a strong clear message to both players and fans....his resignation will just be the sack dressed up as such..If Agar was going to walk like he promised if he failed he would have walked long ago.
