| Quote carl_spackler="carl_spackler"I expected it, but if I'm honest I'm a bit underwhelmed (now there's a rarity
 ).
I also think it's a bit of an unfair signal to Peter Sharp. The club took the wait and see approach with him to see if he earnt a new deal, yet it seems they can decide on Agar after only 1 game.
I'm slightly concerned about our recruitment clout (to put it mildly).'"
Well at least the last point has been a bit of a pleasant surprise. |

Turns out it wasn't that interesting to see what direction he takes the team

| Nothing from me when this topic originally surfaced. I think it must have been a case of "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."
I have certainly moved on from that philosophy if the conversation I had with my mother after yesterdays game is anything to go by.  |

I think it has gone beyond blaming Agar . It is the playing squad who are letting the Club down.

With which whom lays the responsibility?
I hate the "it's the players' fault" type comments. If there is a problem with a child, it's the fault of the parents for not bringing them up right. Same with the coach. Difference is, a coach can pick and choose his players. |

Whilst I agree that the coach should be accountable for the performance of his players, the players do have to accept responsibility for their missed tackles, poorly executed kicking/passing etc. They are not playing well and while that may be down in large part to poor coaching, it must in some part be their own fault too. |

Are you seriously making that analogy? These are grown men who can decide to do whatever they want. If they really dont want to behave in a professional manner the only sanction that Agar can use on them is to get rid of them, which he appears to be doing now that contracts are coming to an end. The behaviour of some of the players is childish I agree but he cant exactly send them to bed without any tea can he! |

Agreed, but it is a hell of a case for ripping up contracts and making them a lot more related to performance. |

| Quote Jake the Peg="Jake the Peg"It's madness driven by greed on the part of the board. Very short sighted of them. if things don't improve this season under agar then pass sales, merchandise sales, sponsorship and matchday corporates will all go down for next year. The money saved by appointing an unknown will be dwarfed by the amount they'll lose, but maybe being hit in the pocket is the only way they'll realise what needs to be done.
Appointing a new coach is always a risk and the current board have got it wrong on the last 2 occassions by appointing 2 assistant coaches in kear and sharp, neither of whom were good enough. Another couple of years of the club going backwards could set us back for a long time to come. They should have appointed a coach with a proven track record at the highest level'"
This is one time I'm not glad I was right but it was bl00dy obvious it was a bad choice from day 1 |
