So why not trust these players to get us in the top 6 regardless of Agar?

When did Agar sign three of the best players in the world

Because I'd rather we improved our chances of success by having a good team AND a good coach!

Yes HE did and should therefore get credit for that aswell as when the players do well. When they don't then slate him.

So the fact he signed better players automatically makes him a better coach?

I said that? Nope. I said he should get credit for signing good players and when the team wins. When we don't then blame the coach.

I think you're deliberately avoiding the point a bit.

Let me phrase it a different way, are you saying it is fundamentally impossible for a team to win games [iin spite[/i of their coach, rather than because of him?

Point taken and it's also there possible for the team to lose due to their actions and not the actions of the coach.

What I am saying is it works both ways.

I agree that's possible too

Isn't that a sad indicator in itself though? That the only good thing we can think of to attribute to him is the unearthing of one potentially very good player.

I get the impression that Agar is a fairly well-intentioned bloke and really is working as hard as he can to make us a successful club, but I really am far from convinced that he is capable of delivering that. It almost sounds nasty to put it this way, but I honestly think it's simply a case of him doing his best but it's just not good enough.

I guess O'Meley is allowed an opinion, as are the fans. Expressing his opinion in this way is unacceptable though.

Did he do it then?
