| Quote Robbo4="Robbo4"They were 1 defeat away from sacking him. A young Mark Robbins saved his bacon. Please dont tell me you just compared probably the most sucessful manager in history with Richard Agar?
I can the similarites in the situation in that the first thing Fergie had to do when he took over at Utd was get rid of all the heads but I dont see Agar as having a strong enough personality to get the rest of the squad to believe in him and his tactics. Time will tell I suppose.'"
Firstly: Why shouldn't I compare him to Fergie. For all we know, in 10 years time we'll have won the Grand Final several times and the Challenge Cup the same. If Man U had sacked Fergie I wouldn't even have been able to draw the comparison.
Secondly: I don't know how I keep getting caught up in defending Agar. I'm not a fan of his - it just gets a bit boring when every thread turns into an Agar-hating one. It's really eay to drop a glib comment into every thread saying "of course Agar will get rid of him" or "Agar was probably busy blaming the supporters". Even after this Saturday, when no-one had mentioned that the loss to Rovers was his fault, a thread started specifically to start the baiting up once again. |

| Quote Uncle Junior="Uncle Junior"Yer and by the time Moa had chance (by luck or by design) to prove he's a successful project and worthy of a long-term deal it's too late because Agar couldn't wait to sign up an ageing Aussie who had just sustained a season-ending injury.'"
I don't know if Agar signed him up or the Board. Do you? And anyway, there are plenty of people on here who have defended that particular action in other threads because they rate Cusack. Note, I didn't say wehther I rate Cusack or not - just that plenty on here do. |

Agar would have to be here for the next 50 years to even get close to Fergie. |

And your comparison of Agar with Sir Alex is laughable for many reasons but most of all because Sir Alex had already broken the Old Firm's stranglehold in Scotland with Aberdeen, and won a european cup with them! This proved he was capable of achieving things as a manager, Agar has no such track record and was completely unqualified to get the job in the first place.'"
No - saying that having success in Scottish Football represents any sort of managerial credentials is the laughable part. |

Very true. I don't think there is anyone on here that thinks Agar has proven himself as a coach and that he hasn't made any mistakes. Far from it. Some of the ways in which people contort facts in order to make attack after attack on him is however pathetic. |

Even breaking a stranglehold of two massive clubs with a much smaller side (something that has never been achieved since)? or if not, you must have missed me mentioning the European success.
GM1 is right about you, if you're not Jon Sharp then you're someone who's willing to say anything to not lose an argument.
Don't even get me started on that comment about the board re-signing Cusack. |
