Those bagging James Webster need to realise he is not Richard Agar!! This is a huge step forward for us right now and one that needed to be taken. There was no guarantee it ever would happen, but now it has, flipping well enjoy it!!

Those pushing for Morrison should take note that he too took his initial steps into coaching under the teachings of one Richard Agar. Why would he be any better than James Webster? He has no first grade experience. If he was still coaching a youth team under Agar, would he be held in such high regard? It smacks of desperation to be clambering for him.

We have James Webster. Let's get behind the bloke!!

Hmmm I guess you are right.
I'm still feeling it after Bradford. Maybe the players knew there was a change coming.

I've no real problem with Webster and I've met him so I know he's a likable guy.
He'll get my full backing.

But personally, a well run professional club should start a recruitment process not just hand it to the next in line.
I've heard Webster talked about as a good prospect as coach but I'd have liked someone with experienced hands myself.

This was always my issue with the Agar haters. No one was thinking ahead to this day.

I should say after reading my rather negative post that I wish Agar all the best and hope he enjoysthe break and gets back into a new job soon.

And I wish Webster every success. Lots to do. Lets go.

Webster will have his own ideas and yes he was under Agar but for me the one important thing to do is appoint a good defensive assistant to work with him for me that is a must.Agar has now gone lets get behind Webster and you never know he just might be the man to make things happen.

Swap RA for WP

Backing Webster, best of luck, give it your best and get those players busting a gut. It will be very interesting to see his choices re players and if there is a change in style of play ie focus on defence. He is a half back by trade so will be very interesting to see who his first choice 6 and 7 are.

So, the Board knew Agar was leaving at the end of the season, for a number of weeks

.

If they knew his heart was no longer in it, and presumably so did the players, why the hell has he being left at the helm for so long?

What a sorry state of affairs

.

Don't have a clue how these things work but I'd guess Webster will have the players in and ask their opinions on why we've been so poor, maybe RA did but you're hardly likely to tell the guy that picks the team, plus he has 11 days to get the squad playing his style, all the best James, you're gonna need it.

At least we can see how players respond now. Feel more positive now.

Pleased he's done the right thing but dissapointed with going for Webster.

Gowerthegroap you don't seriously believe agar could teach Morrison about rugby league he gave him the job yea but come on

Anyone got MCs twitter?
Apparently he's had a sarcastic dig??

Must say I would have preferred a new look coaching team, but am willing to get behind Webster. He has two weeks to make some changes, get some players back and go to get a mni run of form together. I wish both all the best.
Interesting to know just how much stepping down and how much pushing there was, as presumably this would influence the compensation package and the funds which wouold be available to entice a new coach / pay compensation to another club.

lol, I do like Mr Carter. It's good to see someone say it as it is

I guess the four major investors will finally make themselves known too.

My young'uns bouncing around singing - Na na na na na na na na hey hey Agars gone

Relived thats he's gone but a bit disappointed if Webster is the replacement on a permanent basis. Having said that we all after get behind the guy. It's a fresh start 11 days to get the guys motivated. Thats all I want to some passion from a motivated team whoever the coach is

Only when he feels like it these days!

Amazing what a good Lemsip and olbas oil hanky can do

They must be getting on a bit now, they've been hanging around for donkey's years.

You should get an improvement in player performance with a new bloke in charge even if he used to be the assistant. It might not have the effect that a new bloke from outside might have for shaking things up but it was clear that Agar’s time was up.

Is Webster there until the end of the season or until someone else is appointed. If he’s just holding the fort then that’s less good for you lot.

I expect fans to expect clear improvements straightaway. I’d be cautious. When we finally got shut of McNamara it took a whole season before Potter managed to turn things around.

No idea Bullseye how long the appointment of Webster is. I guess until the end of the season would be a good choice with a review then.

If he can get 3 wins out of them before the end of the season then that would be good.

I'd find it funny if we managed to send Salford down. Now that would be a story.

Playing with some pride would do for now!

I reckon webster will do well, did well as head coach at Rovers and Hull made a big improvement when he came as assistant.
