I dont think you could be further from the truth there Gotcha. In the clubs opinion Agar is a very good coach.

The club arent actively looking at the moment for a coach. An opportunity came up to speak to someone 2 week ago and Sinfield had a very informal chat with that person who expressed he really wants the job, but this came out of the blue and wasnt from an approach by Leeds.

Sinny has stated for months now that it will be reviewed at the end of the season and is therefore very non-committal at this stage. Super League survival has been the priority and rightly so.

Its Agars job to lose as it has been from the start in my opinion. As I said the club believe he is a good coach. If the club think he will be accepted by the fans I believe he will get the job full time but that is the concern for the powers that be.

Agar has asked for no distractions and that is how it is.

From what I have been told the only 2 options being looked at right now are the 2 I've mentioned but it will all be reviewed at the end of the season.

There is a huge difference between having an high opinion of him, and him been right to take us forward. He was brought in specifically to do a job, because of that high opinion, and they were right on it. That job he should continue to do. To be the head coach though and take us forward requires far more, and he is not right for that, they would be completely wrong to go there.

These people running this are not stupid. They are simply taking risks, because of the money tied up on the playing rosta, and saving it on the coaching. I don’t believe for one second they are truely doing that from choice.

He won’t be accepted anyway by fans, so if you were correct, they are gambling anyway.

You have no evidence for this whatsoever.

By what standard are they suggesting Agar is a good coach - against other British coaches e.g. Watson, Chester or against Holbrook who schooled him once again on Thursday.

If results improve he'll be accepted.Ive said before unless we can get a Grade A coach it's too risky to swap like for like.I disagree about saving money I think the club would move for a coach if they feel that's the right thing to do.At the end of the day we are outsiders looking in and have no idea what goes on the coaching side and day to day of running the club.A month ago I was speaking to an ex player coached by Agar and he couldn't speak high enough of him.

fact is he may be popular but he has hardly been a success wherever he has coached. he's a good stand in. that's all

Re: New Head Coach - who's it going to be? : Sun Aug 18, 2019 12:32 pm  

Ian Watson should be our primary target.

He's hardly had a club that he could have success at.

Not sure there is any evidence the club is being stingy financially, far from it to be honest.

I am not sure I said that did I? I said as a result of the extra on the playing rosta.
