Pearson has just been on BBC humberside. basically he said the parting of the ways ocurred after the game and was agreed as a mutual decision. After this radford obviously couldn't do the Sky interview, so Sky asked Pearson for a comment and he tole them what had happened. Categorically said it wasn't done live on Sky, and he was angry about the suggestion when it was put to him. Not defending how it was done just paraphrasing his bbc humberside interview

Ridiculous behaviour from the chairman of the club. He should be saying to Radford no decisions are made straight after the game and they’ll discuss it tomorrow.

Pearson can spin it however he wants, he still comes out looking ludicrous.

Why not just wait until after the interviews rather than announcing it straight after the game?

Shocking treatment of a coach, I hope prospective targets watch that & despair.

There have been complaints Pearson sacked Radford on live TV, he didn’t.

The owner stopped Radfor in the Raich Carter suite, the two had a discussion and Radford somewhat reluctantly agreed it was time to go.

Pearson then went to see Andy Last to inform him he would be taking over in teh short term, then Pearson went out and spoke to Sky Sports. " According to James Smales HDM Hull FC reporter.

I bet there's been more complaints about the appalling way Pearson announced it on live T.V.

Probably, still 12000 of us paid to watch us lose 13 in a row and break our own record defeat in a week. Poop happens, Radford is no snowflake he will be ok. But if Lee agreed to go why would he do the Sky interview ?

Because the initial conversation between Pearson & Radford could've waited ten minutes surely?

The discussion shouldn’t even be taking place. That’s the problem. Pearson needed to be a big boy, curb his ego for a day and be professional.

If he wants to change the coach he calls Radford into his office tomorrow or on Saturday and discusses it then. Not straight after a game when public duties are still required of the head coach.

You wouldn’t sack a coach at half time. It shouldn’t happen straight after a game either. It’s daft and reactionary.

We will never know what's gone on behind closed doors, let's be honest if your entire fan base is out the stadium with 20 minutes to go your going to want to make a statement to show them things will change.

I don't know and I never saw the interview as was driving home from the game. They will be more to it though, this isn't a reaction to one bad result, Radford probably knew he was on borrowed time.

Maybe I'm just not an emotional person but don't see the problem really. Why did he have to wait ? Lee went be surprised and agreed it had run its course, you all forget Radford lost 13 in a row and was still allowed to keep his job, hes hardly being shat on by Pearson at all.

I fully agree with the decision, just not the manner Pearson went about it. Why would you want to publicly humiliate someone just to make a statement to the fans?

The bloke has no class.

Let's be honest the players did a good enough job of that.

I honestly don't see the problem and really am surprised at the reaction of most fans. Pearson gave Radford his shot and stuck by him through thick and thin, this is more a joint decision IMO. Whether it was tonight or in the morning who cares ? He was leaving timing is irrelevant.

And how do we not know Radford didn't just put his hands up and said I'm done. It makes no difference at all if he announced it straight after or the day after, they've both agreed it was Radfords time and that's that.
Announcing it the next day would make Pearson classy would it......no it wouldn't.
Anyway Hull were 5hit and completely self destructed from the moment the whistle blew, and we were average at best and only scored more in the second half because Hull got worse. Utterly awful game and if we'd played anyone else we would have been in for a real fight. No real positives to take out of the game except 3-4 players played very well for us.
