Quote: Staffs FC "Fantastic that's put my mind at rest.

Here's the stunning reality - if we consistently beat the teams in the top 6 whilst retaining our form against the teams you mention we would finish higher than 6th. The way these leagues work is incredible isn't it ?'"


OK I understand the argument you are trying to make and I do not disagree. However the reason I posted the numbers is, if Agar's win rate is say 40% overall, which it is. Then over three seasons, after enough results, it is reasonable to assume that against all teams in the league the average win rate is 40%. So we may not beat every team 4 out of 10 times we play them but it should average out. This is not a statement I would normally make in a sporting context. The premier league for example has a few giants and the left scrap for the minor placings but superleague becomes more competitive due to the salary cap every year and is more fluid with teams moving positions every year.

The figures I posted just show that, as most people are stating on here, Agar cannot get FC to play anywhere near to their average capability against any team in the top 6 and for that matter the top 8. Is this what FC should settle for

Agar and McDermott at Leeds are further evidence (if any were needed) that there are very few good British coaches. I'd love it if the opposite were true, but when you see the impact of Maguire at Wigan, Smith at Leeds and Warrington etc, the reality can;t be ignored.

The young Australian coaches learn their trade over many many years. A case in point is Neil Henry from the Cowboys. He was Canberra U/18's coach in 1998. Shane Flanagan from the Sharks coached Roosters lower grades before spending at least 10 years as an assistant.

My point is they serve an extensive apprenticeship in a professional club where quality coaches are having a positive influence on their careers.

Any SL player who retires and becomes an assistant is missing out on many years of coaching experience.

“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." Adam Pearson, FC Website 23-09-2011:



I am now for the first time happy that Agar is coach.

At least now I know (or hope anyway) that he will be judged on performances and if he keeps producing the dross he has done he'll be gone quicker than you can say "Us Team"

Agar still has to go. Hopefully Pearson will keep him on until the end of the season, thank him for his efforts and then replace him with someone competent.

I think there was only Craig Murdoch and the HDM bloke really backing him on the radio , Nearly all otherwise say he should go.
