I doubt many assistants are on a fortune. Take umbrage with taking shortcuts with the head coach by all means but I don't really see how you can knock this appointment too much.

Dreary me lets at least give the bloke a chance before we start slagging him and the board off. Everyone was in favour of bringing Dennis in, presumably on a fair whack of cash, and that hasn't really worked out so lets see how we go before taking unwarranted potshots about this particular topic.

Well said Robbo, let's see how he goes.

Thats what people do best mate.

How many people do we have on the Ginger quota, always get confused by the RFL rules on this?

Do you have to been born a Ginger to count?

Have to agree Wolfie.
If an appointment of player or coach goes tits up fair enough.At least though lets give the poor sods a chance before we start slating them.

I don't think anyone is criticising Webster as an individual, just the shambolic situation, we sign him, he plays one game, is deemed surplous to requirements, we get an assistant in, initial signs are good, something happens, performances drop (long before the increased injury situation), assistan leaves "for personal reasons" (but not that personal that he doesn't go on holiday first), we then bring back someone who, previously, was not in the clubs plans.

I think people are just annoyed at what, from the outside, looks like another cheap option.

The whole situation with Webster when we signed him as a player was a complete joke I agree. I'm not sure how bringing him as an assistant coach now is a cheap option though. What other clubs in SL have an expensive assistant coach? I think people are more annoyed at the continued presence of Agar and that is clouding peoples judgement over this appointment. If we had a top class head coach in place the appointment of Webster would probably be welcomed.

I wish Webster all the best and hope he does well, but I imagine he got the gig on how many times he is happy to say "yes boss" or "I agree boss" rather than his coaching ability.

You could well have a point, I can just see season pass numbers dropping off quite a bit next year, a potential VAT rise is going to increase the cost of passes and getting to and from games as it is, without something to attract fans (and lets face it, 5 drives and a kick isn't going to cut it) then FC are competing for an ever decreasingly available £ from peoples pocket.
