Why should Wakefield refute this ? we have never come out and said we have signed Agar, unlike the Guardian, what's that old saying no news is good news, my concern is we seem to be signing a fair few players, but i would prefer the head coach to be the one doing the signing not JE and AG, after all the new coach will be expected to produce results with the team someone else has chosen for him ? Strange ? unless the new coach is been consulted b4 we sign plaers ? who knows.......

According to AG on twitter there are 3 stand out candidates and an announcement could hopefully be made by the end of next week.

At least he had his boxer shorts on!

So, does all this mean that there has not been a coach-to-come selecting our goings and comings ?

TBH I don't see this as a major problem. We have signed a number of players who are better than those they are replacing (a move we had to make whilst these players were available - if we waited till the new coach came in they may have gone elsewhere). I expect there is some left in the budget for the new coach to sign 3 or 4 himself.

This seems to be what's happening and I hope that budget will include a quality SO, winger and prop.
