The referee's indecision is final:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3738.gif



Quote: WormInHand "One thing does appear to be consistent, though, the players - past and present - unanimously seem to give him great raps. Even Briscoe's article in the Mail tonight lauded Agar and - to my eyes - seemed a bit sniffy about "the new coach"

to be fair you very rarely see a current player slag his current coach, even former players seem to operate a code of conduct of respect for thier former coach. for example i can't even remember too many players current or ex slagging walsh at the time and he was garbage

True. But you can tell if they didn't rate their former coaches by their dignified silence. In Agar's case, everyone who has spoken has spoken for him. I truly wonder what they see with all the evidence against.

Sorry lads maybe got carried away with the "hilt" comment but at least 8,000 of us bought passes and believed things would improve (which they did last season). He had every chance, but for me lacked motivational skills.

Yeah, fancied a name change. Think I may change it back, tbh.

Last straw for me with Agar was the MM game against Quins in 2010, strangely the time when Expro/Icecreamman showed up.

I remember going to Caravan Park after Saints at Wembley and i know we were suffering from the cup loss but the team were awful that day and totally unmotivated, the rot started to set in then for me. But still no unrest or boos till around a couple of seasons later, so for Cooke to say we never backed him is not true.

But be fair, the team had travelled a long way to play that game.

If Cooke ever wants to get back into the game in some capacity, it's a fair bit more likely at Wakey with Agar than FC with Pearson. His stated opinion is therefore unsurprising.

Briscoe's effectively had his rugby league "dad" move out. Not surprising he's a bit unimpressed.

The whole player disappointment thing seems to me a collective "oh e, now we're going to have to work for a living" tbh.

I don't think it's that,at least not with the bulk of them. They'll have been comfortable with Agar in all aspects of their day to day life,for a new boss to come in takes you out of that comfort zone and you're heading into the unknown. I think it's human nature to be apprehensive about that. The ones who don't want to put the effort in and carry on taking it easy will be shown the door,those that want it and embrace it will go from strength to strength. Once they build up some trust and the players start enjoying doing different things and learning via new methods i think a few of those that have only ever worked with Agar will see him for what he is.
