Putting out the spin is fine. Its the decision that's the problem.

And if it turns out to be a good decision?

Maybe see how it goes, there’s no guarantees with any appointments in sport.

Of course I'll see how it goes - we all will. Right now I think its a bad move. If I'm wrong great.

Apart from that I'm worried that the bar to define success will be set so low that a season barely better than this one will see Agar get another year.

I think the bar has to be set realistically

And you could argue Tony Smith, what were his coaching credentials before joining us?

Didn’t he get Huddersfield relegated?

Challenging for the playoffs

In a 12 team comp with at least three really poor teams what is a 'realistic' objective? 5th? 6th?

Its hard to say. My worry is that we'll keep making excuses and find 8th or 9th or worse are acceptable as that's not really a long way from 5th, player X got injured etc etc.
