Coming up on Look North.

Could be wrong but didnt Anderson have a few issues at Saints before he left and anyway he'd rather be in OZ than the UK anyway. Wouldnt trust B Smith to stay the course either.

It might help some of supporters who are still pass holders [next year may be different as some may not re-new their passes].

Mr Pearson could consider sending the head coach on gardening leave and let his assistant show what he can do until the end of this season [I am aware that some class the assistant coach in a similar light to the head coach], but if nothing is tried one will never know if James Webster has it in him to be a head coach at this level.

I do not think that anything can be lost. I believe unfortunately that this season is now a lost cause. Mr Pearson and James Rule should then spend the time etween now and November] looking for a seasoned head coach.

If Mr Pearson puts his faith in Richard Agar for the future I think that he [Adam Pearson] may find that attenences will drop alarmingly.

I got the same impression tbh...I feel a bit better for watching it and I pretty certain we will get the changes we desperately need to get us competing again.

beat wigan,wire,cats,cas,crusaders to make top 8 and save your job,big ask.

'Crazy' ask

But TBF, he's at least partly put himself in that position (it's arguably entirely his own doing).

I thought what he said about his asperations for the club and his feelings about being better than Rovers was good and showed he was already 'getting the idea'.
He can't be making what appear to be knee jerk reactions after 72 hours in charge he will wait hear what the fans and the administrators feel is wrong, get an angle on it and then make a decision. If he reacted to the fans at this point he woukd be expected to do that evrytime there is an issue which might suite some but is no way to run a business. looking at the way he has operated over the years he will, have no fear, be looking already at getting season ticket holders that are disenchanted signed up again and increasing gates for next year and he will do whatever he has to do including changes in personel and big name signings to get that!

spot on wilf,i agree with all you say,he will be well aware of the low attendances and unrest with the fans,he will deffo not take the risk of season passes falling next year,he his here to make money not lose it,im sure he knows what is needed to make the club a succesfulll one.

Shouldn't have been so shoite for the last 3 years then he wouldn't be in that position

spot on

Exactamundo. If he wasn't so e earlier in the year he wouldn't have to win these games to keep his job. It's entirely his own fault.

I can comfortably live with that.

It would be a very shrewd move indeed if Pearson were to wait until the end of the season and then publicly ask Agar to be true to his word and walk. Agar certainly doesn't deserve a payoff of any kind and the money saved could be put towards getting a proper coach in to start putting right the mess that he's created.
