Were we going to spend the full cap under the previous owners?

"It is a case of us having a look at what is in the budget to spend. We have a change of ownership and it is fair to say our plans have been re-assessed," added Agar.



"We have a bit to spare on the cap and have room to move. I am confident before the season starts we will have some new players in."

What is interesting is agar's comment " He has been in great form"

Guess it depends on whether the 'plans' that have been 'reassessed' include not signing some players we previously were planning to - Long and Gleeson are the obvious two candidates. That would free up a big chunk of cap.

Sounds that way Jake. The old board would of claimed holding money back due to players coming on the market mid season I guess. Lets hope we really splash the cash now then.

I just hope that not spending to the full cap is not accepted as the latest reason for our underachievement rather than Agar. Most of us agree that the current squad (regardless of what it costs) should be good enough to be challenging for the top 4. There are also at least 2 teams above us who I would expect spend less than us.

Another excuse for Agar to use, same as if Westermen doesnt play tonight.

It could Jake is right and we were not planning to spend the full cap or it could be your theory?

Either way we need more players so having room to move is a good thing.

"The Mail understands Hull gave Lauaki and his agent permission at the start of the month to speak to other clubs"

Does he speak English?



And for Shergar to say Lauaki's form has been "good" says he's willing to accept mediocre displays and performances so long as he's "a great guy to have around the place"

Peease please please Mr Pearson sack Agar now and get a new man in so he can at least take a bit of control on retention and new signings

Yup - I was just offering a possible alternative rather than denying the other possibility. No easy way to tell.


As long as we get the [iright[/i players...

He has already given the usual excuse of 'a short turn-around' this week in the Wail.



It pains me to say, that I hope we get hammered tonight, to show Adam Pearson,
that what can be achieved ,by top coaching., and also hopefully another nail in Agar's coffin.

I also hope the crowd, chant Agar Out, at the end of the game, if there are any fans left.

To be honest, I feel a lot more relaxed about Agar now (& a lot more positive about the club in general).
We now have a new owner who will not accept mediocrity & underacheivement. I have faith that Pearson will do the right thing. I don't expect that to be before the end of the season though.

I hope we don't get hammered tonight. Its not good for anyone. However if we do I will be chanting Agar Out! - but not till the end of the game.

whats all this i hope we get hammered

i hope agar goes and i think he will ,but never ever will i go to a game hoping we get hammered,if people want to chant agar out thats there right, you pays your money so thats up to you,but to go and sit and hope we get hammered, sorry could never do that,

I hope we get hammered ONLY to hasten Agar's departure.

i recon if its 26-0 at ht then agar could be booking a 57 pronto

I don't reckon he'll go before the end of the season regardless.

Agreed he ain't going anywhere until the off-season, then I expect him to be replaced. His departure now won't change anything, this season is already over. Hopefully behind the scenes things are happening regarding his successor.

Pearson has already shown(with city) that he is willing to pay compensation to any club to get who he wants.........Nathan Brown?

I agree - however the noises from Pearson, that Agar hasnt had sufficient resources
is a tad worrying.

IF Agar starts next season, it would be difficult to recruit a quality coach during the season, and
also another season wasted,

However, the good thing, is that Agar is no longer 'bulletproof'!!!

Not with Pearson in charge,but it does sound like we [iperhaps[/i weren't at full cap,and Agar may have been told who the club were signing( ala;Kath?).It also might explain about how Wire and Wigan manage the cap?It would be interesting to find out,how much we really were spending compared to the other 2 teams mentioned?

Hopefully the number of fans falling for this, the latest in a long line of sorry excuses for Agar being a complete loser, will be minimal.

Adam Pearson has already stated Agar won't be going anywhere before the end of the season.

Fully agree. Try working. Agar should try working with what Terry Matterson has to spend. Literally.

Mid September suits me
