It didn't seem to affect him at the KC.

http://www.totalrl.com/forums/index.php ... try2338208 Hmm, sounds remarkably similar to what we’ve had over the past two seasons. I did say a while ago, half jesting, the names of Goulding and Schofield were possibly being leaked by the club to make the appointment of Agar seem the better option, but if that’s the quality of coach the club have received applications from then Agar isn’t the worst choice. Can’t say I’m not disappointed, but should it happen it’s a fresh start and a clean slate in my view and it isn’t something hat would stop me from getting a season ticket.

That's what happens when people respond. It's called a discussion and is kinda what these boards are here for. Never mind, you seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder about something, so I'll let you get on with it. By the way, your refusal to actually answer any of the points in my last post is duly noted.

Which points are those?
If you mean your post on the other thread they're answered.

My point here is much the same as Pop Tarts, I can build a strong case against the appointment of Shaun McRae, stronger than that against Richard Agar. Indeed there's no reason to doubt that a change of club or role won't be the making of Agars career but McRae has moved around various clubs and competitions without significant improvement in fact he's got worse.

I agree that McRaes coaching methods are possibly out of date and undoubtedly don't work. From watching him on TV, you can see he knows a lot about the game. It appest to me that his position at Hull is comparable to most SL chairman. He'll be the director in charge of Rugby rather than a Jon Sharp role were the DOR is on the training field every day. In that position I think he's a great candidate. I'd wager he knows far more about RL than people in comparable positions e.g. Kath Hetherington. He's been brought into to negate Adam Pearson's lack of RL knowledge.
