Pretty much. I don't think shifting Agar to yet another role in the club should prove too problematic.

Precisely the decision to appoint Agar if true will be based on GH and KS daily observations of workings of the man with the squad.

I’ve posted about Agar already but I will say again, if he’s got the players on side and after a period of gelling like a full pre season I think it could work as long as we have have a decent assistant! There is no point throwing money at a top name coach for it to fail because the players don’t like him or they wanted Agar, or Kev doesn’t like him. End of the day whether we like it or not Kev is in charge here and he will be the next CEO. We as fans should back him and give him a chance, they will have taken their time on this. Let’s hope it works.

So we should pick the next coach based on who a bunch of failing players think they can work with?



That just perpetuates the problem, not solve it.

Results business at the clubs he's coached

You failed to quote the very nxt sentence saying his CV backs that opinion up.

Or a relative of Hetherington and a puppet for Sinny. Not to mention another cheap option. Likeable guy mind who could lead us towards mid-table if that's what your after!

Surely it's in the best interests of the club both on the field and also off the field commercially to get the next coaching appointment right as so much revenue rests upon the business?



Leeds Rhinos is by far the best run SL club by a mile and they know only too well how much extra fans per game bring to the party over a season



Hypothetically speaking an extra 4,000 fans at each home game which is plausible if we were successful and @ £25 per ticket is £100,000 per game on the terraces alone is well over an extra million quid per season



Surely the next head coach will be chosen because they believe that he can bring a successful side and also the fans back to the ground by being successful/playing entertaining rugby?



If the club choose the easy and cheap option then surely they will lose big time?

Maybe it’s time to get a bit humble. Leeds is a great club but it isn’t the only great club. We simply do not have the pick of any coach (or player) in the game, which I think some posters forget.



If Richard Agar is the best available candidate for what we need next year, and this appointment may not be longer than that in practice, then fine. Let’s get behind the team and give it a chance.



We could have the love child of Tony Smith and Craig Bellamy coaching us and we’re still not going to win anything without some better players for me.

Dont think anyone thinks we can just pick any coach in the game and theyd come, they just think we could pick a better coach than Agar, theres a massive middle ground between the two...Thinking we can do better than Agar is different to thinking we can have anyone we want.



Not important now though, he's getting the job, we'l get behind him and hope he does well.

Well yes then who? Watson and Ward have done great jobs this year, but does that really translate to Leeds?



The Aussies are either assistants with no head experience, already well settled, or have some kind of cloud over them.



Powell ruled himself out and I feel he was the main hope at one stage.

Up to this week if the season had started when Agar got the job we would be 5th so that for mine shows improvement.
