What do you mean by "problems with our coaching staff?"
Problems between members of the coaching staff?
Between the coaching staff and the players?
Between the coaching staff and the board?

Hopefully whatever the problems are, they're big enough to force a change.

Didn't Kear have the same issues?

Well he doesn't seem to treat whiting that well! Were is his 5 year deal?

Well a player told me at the beginning of the season the players hated Sharp, I will pm the players name if you require.

I know Agar is the problem however so is Sharpy and I know Sharpy personally like Agar great guy as coaches not good enough for our club. Also the people who need to take responsiblilty are our players and most of them should go as well

Who is Agar sleeping with? He must have some real dirt on someone for his opinion and methods, as a rookie SL coach at one of the biggest clubs, to get endorsed at every turn despite what will be 19 defeats in 23 games by the end of the season.

It's all conjecture but when Sharp was at Huddersfield a Hudds fan told me the exact same thing.

Kear was rumoured to have his favourites, and supposedly that was part of the reason why the players wanted him gone.

Oddly enough, the same stories circulated about Sharp while he was at Huddersfield.

Right, so the story goes.

This is all "apparently", but it rings too true to be all incorrect. I have had the same information from about 5 people in the last hour or so.

Agar and Sharp were not "mates", never have been. Sharp was brought in to work WITH Agar but after a few months Agar went to Rule and asked Sharp's role be changed to simply defensive coach, to which the club agreed. Sharp has had nothing to do with team selection since, Sharp will tell anoyne that is willing to listen that the preperation is very poor and is supposedly looking in Australia for an assistants position (good luck with that one with your CV Jon )

Agar grew up on the same street as the Hetheringtons.

It does, unfortunately, seem to go some way to explaining things.

This article from 2004 - when Agar was coach of York - suggests that Agar and Sharp were childhood friends. Unless Agar lied then in anticipation of moving to Hull, being made head coach and bringing in Sharp as his assistant.

rlIndependent article, March 2004rl.

I can't see any suggestion other than he was aware of Jon during his childhood, he states he was 4 years older and they occasionally played football with their brothers, hardly Stand By Me.
