The obvious measure is whether we survive in SL or not, as to how successful Agar has been. We were in all sorts of disarray when he took over from Furner.

I think the players and other senior staff will have seen enough from Agar to make the right call either way. He might not even want to job anyway.

I don't know whether Agar is a title-winning coach or not; but I do know we'll need some new players either way.

Managing the squad must be a nightmare. Every time a hole is plugged by signing someone a new weakness appears. It really shows how awful so many of the squad were that started the season.

Agar may have steadied things a bit but he's hardly set the world on fire, with actual results only marginally better. We've just lost 2 on the bounce at home that we looked like a chance in, and there's really only Ward left who would add much, so there aren't many excuses left now.

To me if Sinfield's role is an issue stopping us getting a top coach then the answer isn't dropping our standards, its changing Sinfield's role. Part of him showing he has what it takes is getting the right coach and then letting them do their job.

saints will announce a top coach within a fortnight. we've been dicking around with a totally unsuitable, poor coach for months.
all I hear is he steadied the ship. we will probably be bottom by Monday with 5 games left
incompetence.

A good coach would make a massive difference but my God our players are poor. It'll be Agar no doubt

A world first in club management / coaching masterclass, a first anywhere in the game, a symbiosis of academy pathways from under 16 right through to the first team.

There's no doubt a really good quality coach could make a big difference but the utter collapse in morale, indiscipline and general mediocrity will take some shifting.

Just think how bad the culture would have got without JJB and Ablett in the squad. They must be contributing something after all....

Agreed. The head coach is the most important person at the club and the most influential. Getting this right is paramount for the future

The Club has swiftly gone downhill and is supposed to have reached rock bottom , it can only get worse by relegation or appointing Agar as full time coach .

There is certainly o leaks coming out not even rumours

Probably because we have yet to find one or Agar has the job.
We had a half decent coach in Furner.
Not saying he was my first choice but he probably had more ideas than Agar and Sinfield put together but wasn`t given the backing.
Could be why we are struggling to find anyone who will take it on now.
