I'm not going to attend a home game until he's gone, I'll still go to away games though, our problem is the board are quick to remind of us of our grade A licence, one of a few SL teams making a profit, big shirts sales and big sponsorship deals etc. All of this is in spite of three poor seasons, I just feel the board don't feel they have to strive for a successful team on the field, as the revenue will keep coming in.



After the very harsh sackings of Kear (Challenge cup win, first play off win in the Sl era in his first and only full season) and Sharpe (Grand Final and then a fourth place finish) we were all underwhelmed at the appointment of Agar but he was young British and is a nice bloke, the fans gave him a chance, since his appointment though we have performed poorly throughout,.



In 2008 we were poor, although that was blamed on Sharps previous decisions, fair enough really he needed the benefit of the doubt. In 2009 we were simply terrible, awful in every way, the board said it wasn't Agars team and he needed time to re build, again fair enough although Kear and Sharp were not allowed this time. After big recruitment in 2010 we saw a slight improvement, although we were still average at best, we lost every game we needed to win when it mattered, the board told us we were only 80 mins away from a fourth place finish and with a steady side 2011 we would really kick on and challenge again. After a poor start the board are still saying he will turn it around, bearing in mind he has had three years, two assistants have left under him, brought in numerous players and even spent transfer fees he has failed miserably, being a big family friend of Kath Hetherington makes him untouchable though.

Which means they were never "superstars" in the beginning!!!

You mean the Leeds model, copied by St Helens and then in turn, copied by Wigan 25 years later when they realised Aussie journeymen nearly get you relegated?

How does it?
