Even Michael Maguire said after last seasons Grand Final that alot of the ground work for Wigan's success was laid by the previous regime...I think Noble would be a good appointment but we need to get him in ASAP.

If our recruitment for 2012 is to be successful then we need the new man in place within the next month or so, I'd be far more confident of Noble tempting new players from Oz than Agar, Crusaders managed to bring over some decent quality while he was there so he must have good contacts.

I just can't see how the club would invest in signing Westerman (someone Agar had clearly been asking for) to then sack him a few games into the season.

Not sure if i'm happy about this tbh, even when/if Agar leaves the players will still have their differences. Or is it solely aimed at Agar?

That was the impression I got, told some interesting stuff about Berro, apparently he told Agar he was cr@p over a year ago! and got dropped for several game, which led to a very strained relationship apparently

You can imagine who Agar's backers are likely to be: Briscoe (understandably) and the likes of Dowes and Radford because of the wonderful contribution he has made to their retirement funds.

It seems Long isn't happy with him now but he's retiring, Fitz likewise (what must he think of Agar compared to some of the coaches he's worked with in his career). That leaves Moa and O'Meley as the two other most obvious candidates to have a problem with Agar.

I think Briscoe could easily be won over by another coach coming in.

I tend to pay little attention tbh, these sort of things always suddenly appear when there's supporter unrest.

I might give that a go myself, I could do with a break.

I agree, however it depends who is telling!

It ain't Dowes!!! And never has been.
I've said before a coach who brings players in to enforce discipline is always going to have a problem with splitting the "swots" and "blots". Discipline is the coaches job and not down to a couple of Aussie enforcers.

Just don't see it being true.

I'm sure it's 90% bull but if the story keeps growing it may just force the board to admit that they "would keep all options open and always speak to players and others that may potentially improve the club" or something similar. Cos surely as a professional operation they would be duty bound to check out Nobles availability just in case Agar should resign , be head hunted etc?????

OK the latter would only happen if he was wandering through some south american jungle!

Fair enough I was purely speculating, I don't claim to have insider knowledge or anything like that. And Dowes does have a hell of a lot to be grateful to Agar for



Completely agree with what you're saying though, and a similar principle applies to getting Long in and expecting him to be in charge of all our attacking structure.

If only it was true, the team really do need a pick me up and I am sure a change of coach would do it.

For me "Get him off" Moa statement was the last straw.

sometimes to get rid of an itch you have to peel off your skin,if agar the idiot is the itch well strip me to the bone

same as ive been told, theres something not right, for the good of the club, and if it brings the right man in, I hope we do lose!!

Just to clarify I was not told they were playing to lose or any-thing like that, just that there is a divide right now and the clock is ticking

same here
i was just stating my feelings, that i would take a loss if it came with Agars resignation/sacking

I hear what you are saying, sadly I think most fans share you sentiments, bad times 'eh

yup, even worse times if we win, the BOD may extend his contract even longer

I have fed and watered th pigs and they are ready to fly .................................

Why did they have a day off today? Its the last thinng they need in my opinion.
Things just don't add upp at the minute.

when is the 3rd round of the challenge cup? we need him gone before then or we will be knocked out yet again at the first attempt on the road to wembley

Try the 4th round.

several of the locally based players were in the gym this morning anyway on their day off all having a go
