he had, but Steph has never worried too much about letting facts get in the way.

As a Rovers fan I would be the last to back Hull on this but it’s pathetic for fans of other clubs to be calling it embarrassing, out of order etc.

I was listening to local radio and Pearson clearly stated that business around his and Radford’s parting was taken care of before anything was officially announced. He took care of the Sky cameras so as Radford didn’t have to face up to them. That’s it.

Exactly the amount of people that either can’t listen and comprehend what has been said or even read and understand what was said by Pearson is astounding. No one was sacked on tv live or otherwise.
Both Pearson & Radford has agreed to part ways and Pearson let Lee inform the players and said he would do the media for him and also inform of the decision.

Announcing it straight away saved Radford from the barrage of stuff that would have been on social media as is the norm these days. Delaying the announcement would have just lead to a lot of speculation and abuse. Pearson and Radford have the respect of each other and that showed.

Well said

Did the players find out before the watching public?

I don't see how they could have done. Whether radford found out before the interview is irrelevant.

There was no good reason why Pearson couldn't have announced it Friday.

To me it looks like Pearson was trying to make it look like he was doing something about the clubs poor form and wanted maximum exposure doing so.

Even in football where sackings are far more prevelant you don't see events like this.

He stated that Lee knew what the deal was following the Catalan debacle.

You are clearly one of the iodiots wjo struggles with basic comprehension... but that isn't a surprise revelation.

To be fair, given his recent outbursts it’s obvious the guy just likes the sound of his own voice. It’s like he’s trying to be noticed for some reason :s

Pearson was asked if they knew and he saod something along the lines of "they'll be getting told now I presume"

It's all relevant, isn't that what's causing all the opinion on this thread, personally I'm indifferent to the sacking of the coach, it's the nature of the beast you stand or fall by your success, the fact that Pearson decides to do it in public and not in private as the owner is his decision to make, when Hull are on TV you don't normally see Pearson doing interviews so I wonder how much encouragement Sky gave him to use the Sky media circus to do it, as when the camera's panned in on Radford during the game he looked like his heart wasn't in it, so with a smidgen of hindsight I'd say that he already knew he'd gone.

Paul Cooke has wrote a very good article in the Hull Daily Mail. Sums it up perfectly imo.
