Ok put it this way he was sacked as Head Coach at every Club he held that job.
All of which btw were nowhere near as big as Leeds.
The players may like him but it isnt happening on the pitch so thats a mute point.
If they all "know" why not announce it?
To dismiss any concerns without any evidence to back it up are wishful thinking or just ignoring the obvious mess we are in.

Moot not mute, anyway pedantry aside, if they do know but they are currently employed they may have asked for it not to be announced, I’m not dismissing anything I am simply offering an alternative view point, I have no more knowledge than anyone else outside of the club.

We are clearly in a mess that’s obvious it’s just my personal opinion that the club is trying to sort it out and rushing a coaching appointment in now IMO would add to the mess not solve it, the club should be trying to do whatever is right for the club not trying to appease fans

Appease fans?
They are ££££ the Club need to operate & pay off those big shiny new soon to be empty stands.
So yes they do need to appease or better put "reassure" the fan base & especially the big corporate ones its a blip & not a cluster French Connection UK it seems to be.
How long is it since Furner was given the boot? Throw in a couple more weeks before that when it started to turn sour.
That's not rushing anything is it? That should be plenty of time to get the right man/staff in.
Surely you can see the longer this drags the more time it takes to fully stabakise the Club & start that Climb back towards challenging again on a firm footing.

You're assuming all fans feel the same way, personally it's more reassuring to me to hear they are taking the time to get the next appointment correct.

You see it as dragging on, I see it as the club being diligent. we have seen this week that players are happy to sign or extend their deals with the club.

The only thing that might be going on that we as fans don`t know about is that the coach has been identified and KS is running the recruitment past him before going public.
I just hope KS ego is in the best interest of the club going forward if not.
It must have been one hell of a fallout for Furner and KS to part the way it did considering they were best mates and he was Kev`s first choice.

Its not clear why they did fall out.. was it just performance of the team? Intriguing...

The time its taking and looks to be a while yet to announce the next coach, to me points to someone in a job currently as head coach..Agar doesnt want the job.. it has to be surely.

I'm glad Tony Smith is back in the game even if not with us.

I am too. He was out of this world for us. Some of the rugby under him was astonishing.

Good luck to him.

Probably my fave coach we’ve had, given what we were when he came in. Oh for a 2020 version of Smith.
A real gentleman too, quality bloke.

Interesting interview with Agar at half time. He's a very intelligent and articulate bloke. According to Agar all the signings mentioned were purely Sinfield's decisions.

Aye. Had plenty to work with though. Not sure he could have got much of a tune out of the group we have had last few seasons
