Imagine our Board had sacked Agar for finishing bottom last year and then appointed McGuire ....

This rumour came about when he was asked at a sports dinner in Wigan, "if not wigan who would you play for" and he said he wanted to follow his dads footsteps after wigan but never mentioned Hull in person
as it stands he is contracted to wigan end of story really

and ??

We didn't finish bottom,we don't make enough to pay his wages.

I don't agree with the we dont make enough quote, we pull in a good crowd each week and if we had a good season were we were challenging for top honours those crowds would be swelled even more. Like the saying goes you need to speculate to accumulate

Tell Leeds United fans that.

It doesn't matter what we agree with. The club will never be run to make a loss.

That's includes bringing in a coach on a big contract.

And nor should it be.



Do you know for a fact that we couldn't afford to pay more than we currently pay for a coach, or are you just surmising?

Yeah but there is speculating within in reason and then there is throwing all your in eggs in one basket alongside a couple of heavy rocks





I know and don't get me wrong they have done a cracking job turning the clubs fortunes around, but there comes a time when you need to invest that little bit extra in the team.

The coach would have to be on a hell of a lot of money for us to be running at a loss. Considering we seem to have paid off all our debts over the last few years we must be making plenty of money?

Summarising mate, there's not alot I know as a fact!

Are you talking about our full-back?

True, haven't the board paid the debts of with whatever profit we made? Now there gone it will be interesting to see what we do with the extra cash.

Build new training areas etc

I'd agree with you that throwing silly money at a coach would be a foolish thing to do, particularly if it was going to land us in hot water financially. I reckon we must have a fair degree of leeway however, given our current relatively healthy financial position.

I've heard that Kath is building a Scrooge McDuck style money bath and that her and Rule will be taking regular skinny dips.

But why would we want to get a new coach anyway, were sat 4th with 5 to go !!
we have a decent coach

In your opinion

not my opinion, thats the opinion of the SL table mate!!
if you take a look from time to time you will see we are sat 4th having done a double over HRK and Saints to boot... sat in 4th with a play off beconning, what else would you like sir??

We've stuck by him up to now it would be pointless to get rid now were doing ok.

To be fair to Agar he has more than earned his contract extension this season. I was completely against the decision being made so early in the season but if the decision was being made about now (as it should have been) I dont think most people would argue against a contract extension based on the current league standings.

He has done enough for me to get another crack at it next season and with further recruitment I would hope we progress again. One thing to consider though is that next season it wont be so easy to improve on this seasons showing so Agar will have his work cut out.

Only decent?

well said Sheldon, and he has done what he said he would do.
He has brought in the right people, and taken us from wooden spooners almost to 4th in the table with 5 games to go in one season, now excuse me but that to me is a serious step in the right direction!!
you know there are some Sheldon that would complain about something if we won the whole trophy availability !!

I agree with that...I hope next year he can improve consistency e.g Salford, Crusaders games etc...
