| Two years ago, having finally taken the decision to dismiss their very own (far more articulate) version of Rich Agar, the Warrington Wolves board made the inexplicable decision to effectively continue the inept regime by appointing the assistant Jimmy Lowes. Warrington promptly lost the opening three games of the 2009 season.
At last coming to their senses, the Warrington board replaced Lowes with an available Head Coach with a proven track record of achieving SL success. Lo and behold they went and won the Challenge Cup that year. And the year after that too. In one year less than Rich Agar has already been with us, Tony Smith has turned Warrington from serial underachievers to one of, if not [ithe[/i main challenger to Wigan in SL.
The definition of madness is supposed to be doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, thats exactly what Hull FC are doing with Agar and we are also refusing to learn lessons from history.
The board must act now.

It would seem to have worked for them & may be if our club try it, it might work for us too.

Do you think Manchester United were mad to hold onto Alex Ferguson?

Of course not, but then here's what Alex Ferguson had won with Aberdeen before he arrived at Manchester United:
The European Cup Winner's Cup
3 Scottish League Titles
Four Scottish FA Cups
One Scottish League Cup
If you can show that Rich Agar has a similar proven track record of winning trophies to justify being given more time, then I'll be able to agree that you're making a worthwhile comparison.

Scottish football wasn't the joke it is now back then though, and doing it with Aberdeen is an amazing achievement in any era. TBH I think the 'stability breeds success' mantra is a myth, success breeds stability.

Whilst that's intended as a witty retort, the last 7 words are actually very apt.

Let me give you a geography lesson -Warrington is in [u =#FF0000Lancashire[/u not Cheshire -Same as Hull was not in [u Humberside[/u - If your wanting to get things right ? At least get the Title right -You've fallen at the first hurdle.
The season has only just started and I know your frustrated -Believe me as a Warrington Fan I've been there - It might turn around soon -just hope not against us.
Yours Warrington =#FF0000Lancashire

Well, no it's not the same because 'Humberside' no longer exists, unless you are claiming that Cheshire doesn't exist anymore?
I actually did check it was in Cheshire on Wikipedia when I wrote that title, but [i'you shouldn't believe what you read on Wikipedia'[/i I hear you say, and quite right too.
I do find it odd though that Warrington Borough Council list their address as:
Warrington Borough Council
Town Hall
Warrington
Cheshire
WA1 1UH
www.direct.gov.uk/en/Dl1/Directories/DG_10011713
You'd think they'd know wouldn't you?
