It will take a mass boycott to have any effect and I am not too sure what is going on, clearly they are sticking two fingers up at the fans and no mistake.
This is all a bit odd, this lot have been very much finger on pulse with any negative effect on sales/profit margins. Now they have hacked off a large section of there customers that could well now dump buying a pass for a policy of match selection. Coupled with the freebies, poor games etc this season a pass could well have proved more expensive. I mean how many would actually go to the next two home matches if they had to pay 2-3k.
I am quite concerned as to why they have suddenly grown bollox and stood by a coach who is clearly struggling. I think we need to keep a very close eye on what they do in the next few months.

His answer:- "Without a doubt, yes we would" I laughed down the phone and told him he can't be serious, but he assured me he was!! They just don't see it I'm a afraid, no good complaining, domoing, ringing or emailing, Agars the man for the unforseeable future I'm afraid and there aint nothing gonna change that! You either go to watch or you don't the choice is yours!

This is a joke, even if you take all the factors, injuries, Luakai , Crocker it still does not answer the team selection and interchanges which have been a grave area of concern even for fans who do not have the greatest knowledge of our game.Morgan and other coaches get this area right, even if players are getting dropped for things behind closed doors there is still no answers for interchanges.
The biggest thing Agar lacks for me is the ability to motivate the team, even with [ihis[/i own team next year will he be able to motivate? I fear not. Tony Smith and Nathan Brown have proved a good coach can motivate any players even if they are not theirs

| Quote ="unknownlegend"I rang him at 5pm (I was playing golf at the time!) was on the phone for 25 minutes!! Asked him how long Richard Agars contract had to run and then asked how much did he think the club would lose in revenue during this time (1 year). I told him he would struggle to sell 6,000 passes for next season. Got all the usual spin about bad luck with visas and injuries, he did say that there was going to be a clear out of players that have not pulled their weight this season. But he made it very clear that Agar WILL be in charge for next season no matter what! So any demos, forums or emails are just a complete waste of time!
I told him he made a big mistake not interviewing for the vacant post when Peter Sharp left & that he had taken the cheap option, he always has an answer, he reckons all the top coaches have assured him we have a top coach! (?) and that the new players coming in will not stand for any unprofessional conduct. We agreed to disagree at the end ( I was 3 holes behind!) and I wished him luck in his plight to sell next seasons passes. My parting shot was that this coach WILL be shown the door in the end so sooner rather than later and next time please get someone who is a strict disciplinarian with some idea of game plans! and interview more than 1 personicon_rolleyes.gif'"
he must be having a threesome with kaff, and Rule thats all i can say
Anybody who knows anything about the game must see he is not up to the job, they are only putting off the ineveiatble and early next season he will walk the board will be wrong, we will have another season wrote off and they will go get the cheapest copach who is out of work at the time
Grow some balls hold your hands up and admitt you got it wrong and give us the world class coach our support deserves

| So if Rule states that Agar is here for next season, surely the 'out after the 1st 8 games if nothing changes' is utter bo11ocks!

Sound like you put across the majority's opinions but were faced with the wall of flannel. Things just don't add up. Why would any Chief Exec at a big club allow a coach with a horrific win ratio to continue when it is so transparently alienating the fans? There has to be more to this than meets the eye, or simply Kath's way of ensuring a team that 3 years ago was a title contender is unable to threaten Leeds. The question I would ask, which you sort of did with the Morgan one, is whether he believes we have played to our full potential with the players available in any game this season. Because we haven't either through poor selection, rotation or complete absence of a gameplan. This is utterly depressing.

| He is adamant that the new players coming in (and he took 10 minutes describing every one) will not stand for any e (he's words). I told him it sounded like he had made a mistake but there was no turning back so he now had to believe he was right. Your right it is depressing but there is absolutely nothing anyone can do to change things, like I said you either go or you stay away. We can only hope he IS right, but after the last 2 seasons my faith is beginning to pale!!!

It is, as has already been said, pretty depressing!!!
Well i'm making my own individual stance and that is not to renew my pass for next year. When i get the renewal form i shall be sending back with a well scripted letter outlining the reasons why i won't renew for the first time in 12 years. That my fellow fnas is a sad thing for me to say!

Warrington did, I know we have discussed it but we really do need banners which will attract some media attention, we need to keep hounding the club about this.
Thats it

He will be on KCFM next week spouting the same stuff I had to listen to last night. He really is good at spin I'll give him that. He did'nt seem fazed about the "challenge' of selling passes for next season "it's always a challenge, but we are confident". Brick walls and head in sand was going through my head all the time he was talking.

The problem is there are numerous ready made excuses that the club can use for this and last years poor league performances and if they don't sell the same level of season passes they can blame the current economic climate...all in all anything is to blame apart from their appointment of a poor coach!

Correct, but not just that, he has more reasons/excuses up his sleeve than anyone I have ever talked to (even scousers!) The gist I got was, these new players are gonna swing it for them, everyone (he thinks) will want to watch these new players in black and white. Also there will be new payment schemes for passes and a lot of marketing coming our way. Watch this space!!

I dont think JR, TS and the newly recruited board member(whatever his name is !) have a say in anything really.
They are just the spin machine at the coal face(to coin a Hutchie phrase!).
In his heart JR must know Agar is wrong and the club are sinking but if Kath and the real decision makers have told them that's how its gonna be then if it means them keeping their job they are gonna spout whatever 'shyit' they need to !!
Im sure a lot of people on here have come across bosses that have said "its my company and its my way. Anyone who doesnt like it can leave when ever they like !"
Monkey and Organ grinder springs to mind !

| Another pathetic attempt to try and pretend they listen to the fans. What fooking use is someone ringing in and talking 1 to 1 to a director? Do they record the calls and pod cast them so everyone can hear his responses? Do they bollox
Call a director - 1 to 1 spin
kcfm - scripted spin with our media manager staging it and the calls being screened
tell us - more like tell us something we want to hear or we'll ignore it.
The propaganda machine is in full swing
Set of w@nkers
Where are these fans forums we've been promised?
