| Why are people being so nasty about somone they don't know. Think about it, would you like someone talking about your husband/wife etc like this all over a public forum. It's totally out of order. Can't say he would been my first choice but I wouldn't dream of slagging the man off as I don't know him. If he has been chosen for the job he should be given a chance. After the previous regime I can understand the feeling that it's jobs for the boys or friends but if that's what has happened the JE & AR will be judged on the results on the pitch.

The way I heard it was that Crusaders bid was so weak that the RFL told them to pull out. This was done to save face for the RFL so they didn't have to admit their mistakes in bailing out Crusaders and to give them an excuse for writing off the money they were owed.
So actually had Crusaders been in a position to carry on I believe that they would still have been the ones to go, but this way it casts the RFL in a slightly better light.

I'm not in the business of making personal attacks on the fella - for me, it's about his suitability to lead my club.
I'm afraid that this type of scrutiny comes with the territory in public-facing roles like this; those people who can't stand the heat should probably exit the food preparation area, if you get my drift.

| I'm going to wait till the appointment is made before I form an opinion. All the statements from the club suggest it's not Agar, Elston reportably said it wasn't Agar and Andrew Glover seems too shrewd to alienate the very fans he has just asked to sign up to the 1873 lottery who also happen to be the 2,500 he wants to buy season tickets. Speaking of which, the £100 offer ends at the end of September, he knows some are waiting for the announcement so he can't wait till October to unveil the new coach, and if it's Agar he'll probably miss that target anyway. Based on that I can't see why someone in his position would appoint someone so unpopular with the fans when he needs them on side more than ever.
Another theory, people were praising Glover for his PR skills the way he announced the new signings last month. Maybe he knows (through James Elston) that Agar was to be released by Hull and knew that it would be widely assumed that he would be coming to Wakefield. This negativity would then make our announcement all the more sweeter when it's not Agar, again bringing the feel good factor back to the club? Just a thought.

I'll take a guess
Noble - too expensive/out of date
Gentle - out bid for by Hull also lots of ££££££££
Millard - out bid for by cas
Goulding - clueless
Cummins - Not ready (but id of given him a chance
Wayne Bennet- To enthusiastic and clever for his own good
Richard Agar - Talks the talk and cheapest salary
Anyone with facts willing to shed some light on the matter would be appreciated. Till then ............

| You beat me too it Mr Bliss i was going to post very similar.....what can the club do they can only appoint one of the candidates that applies...unless they were to approach a coach under contract...we have not heard they have done that or have been succesful in this approach (unless they approached Agar who had a year left on his contract) so we are left with Richard Agar. There have been numerous posts and topics dedicated to the appointment of Richard Agar as the debate rages on. The more it does the more i hope it works out for him.

I'm with you on that.
I'm quite prepared to say that I think Mr Agar is the wrong person for the job, but I won't get hysterical about his appointment because it hasn't actually happened; as you rightly point out, everything that's been said thus far would indicate that it's not him, so I remain hopeful.

| If JEs other half has been posting on twitter then I suggest to him he tells her to butt out of things that don't concern her, very unprofessional in my opinion and thats what put us in this situation in the first place. For what its worth I don't really care who the new coach is as I couldn't do the job myself and all I am bothered about is getting some success, however I still prefer English.

Can't see that been right at all - administration, stadium, fan-base - does any of these minus points for you lot matter in the scoring exercise ?
Any proof on this ? Any link ?

Yes, it was on the RFL website.
It said we were the best and Cas only stayed in SL due to Crusaders dropping out.
Didnt you see it?

you see this is the thing. i was talking to a cas fan at wembley who i have known for years. he's travelled all around the world working on major projects at a level of seniority that i could only dream of reaching, he's earned millions in the oil and gas industry in the developing world, but he simply will not listen to any counter point of view regarding cas's new ground that has any negativity in it at all. he's a clever rational man, and all he would say is that cas have a new ground nailed on and that wakefield are stuffed.
big blind spot.

There are no links to the submissions or assessments of any club's franchise application, as you're well aware.
However, if you believe that the RFL would bend any rules to favour keeping WTW in SL, then you're deluded.
I'd be concentrating on matters closer to home if I were you; yet another delay in your planning application, the Opus chairman having to dig Tricky out of a PR hole and the revelation that there are other sites in Cas competing with WR for the development. Not looking great is it?

Better still...can you guess the company behind the investigations into other possible sites in Cas???
