Although i dont know what went on with the money side of things....i would have him back as coach as his record stacks up and is better than Agar ever will be........wouldnt he be better with a stronger board as well as i think you mentioned before that the board at the time wouldnt say no to him? |

People forget how good a coach he was .just as Wilf says he made mediocre players into world beaters.One player comes to mind is Eastwood who went on tour with GB keeping that little welsh out of the team .I think he was one of the highest points scorer of that tour

I wasn't actually advocating the return of Brian Smith to FC as coach in my original post (not that he would anyway). I was merely pointing out how a top grade coach can make a difference to any side, as he did with us 20 years ago.
I agree with you, it's not wise to go back, it very rarely works outs. |

Can't people just give Agar a fair and proper chance??
We are improving, and have gone from 12th to 6th (should've been 4th). We've beaten this years only grand finalists (so far) at home and away...
I takes a bit of time to sort out the mess that the previous coaches left behind!! but we're getting there!

I don't think anybody can underestimate what he did at both Hull and Bradford for that matter. We may not have won anything under him but as Wilf as mentioned his ability to turn less than average players into very good players cannot be overlooked.

In the two and a half seasons he's been in charge we've lost more games than we've won. We've only scored 40+ points four times and never scored 50+. We've never won a SL by more than 30 points. We've never beaten Leeds or Warrington. We've not won a knockout game in over two years.
As for Smith, he is a great coach although he does seem to have itchy feet. I have great memories of his time in charge. His final game in charge, for example when we beat Leeds to go top of the league. |
