Not exactly an apology, but as someone has mentioned, if he apologised for every substandard performance he'd be at it every other week.

I agree, as I said, I hadn't read that comment from Agar, hence the ? in the thread title.

If we'd got beat by 50 points then I can understand the need for an apology, but we were beaten by a better team (on the day!) and weren't exactly hammered.

Just out of interest does anyone know what Agar's win to loss percentage currently stands at? I reckon that needs an excuse in it's own right never mind an apology.

1%

As high as that Jake. The BOD won't get rid with stats like that

Is that after rounding it up, or rounding it down?

That's with 'US' aiming up

Still be about 42% wont change much unless we win a fair few or lose a fair few in a row.

If he really wants to thank them he knows what to do

I think this coming weekends fixtures may have a bearing on longevity of Richs job unfortunately
definately a very unhappy place to be right now

Spot on, all games in charge (including cup and 1 play off game) 81, won 34, lost 47 - 42%

he now knows how the rest of us have felt the last few seasons then.

everyone feels it standee , no one enjoys losing especially like the weekend
no excuse but lets be fair were not the only team they have done a number on recently , better than they are given credit for

I think you're right, I always said he would be judged around easter and should we lose to Rovers the pressure will really intensify, add then defeats to Wire away and maybe Saints at home and his position could well be untenable.

I see you're still indulging in making excuses for his pathetic coaching record, he is not good enough as a first team coach, we have known it for some considerable time.

as much as I want to see a top quality coach at the club - and losing to rovers would bring that one step closer - i still cannot bear to lose to Rovers and would love to give them a beating, and will be praying we do

Where is the excuse in that?? What about that statement was incorrect - they have beaten the champions and cup holders in their own back yard in the last 2 weeks

from what I have been told about the game Catalans were poor, again we didn't put in the performance required.

Thought you said he was a good 'technical coach', would love to know what that means?

I am told his analysis of teams strengths and weaknesses is solid, as is his attention to giving individual players targets of areas to improve etc. he is a a coach in the strictest sense of the word, that doesn't mean he is a disciplinarian, a motivator or a leader of men.

No excuse there , maybe your reading a different post mate!
what i said is actually fact , they have tubbed the best recently and were another notch o their well earned bedpost tally!!
neither team were very good but cats were much better second half , their speed at the play the ball was awesome second half which placed us under pressure that resulted in panic footie..
certainly no excuses tho, i feel as gutted as anyone

so is he not the best young british coach in SL now?

It's not just about the result against Catalans (I expected to lose due to their recent form) it's more to do with his overall record and especially this season. 7 defeats from 10 is simply not good enough and just 4 wins from the last 14 is appalling, he should be long gone.
