Regardless of the performances on pitch, from Pearsons point of view I'd have thought 2013 will have been a bit of a bumper year cash wise.
There's lots of changes seemingly afoot but that is most likely from a pride point of view (pleasing how he has become passionate about us), looking a right twonk on the telly (no one likes that), and to placate the fans. On the last point I'm not so sure it's the right strategy but you can see his thinking "get rid of the perceived overseas big earners who havent brought success and go down the local lads for local fans" route. Time will tell but apart from trying to keep pass sales up for next season I wouldn't have thought IMO there's much more financial reasons driving his thinking.

Is there any reasons the players would play for another coach.....or have they been told by Radders play for me or I will kick ass!!!! hahahaha

I don't blame AP for wanting to cut costs he hasn't got an endless pot of money to throw away.

Shaul, crooks and lineham are the three bright sparks this season.

I partly disagree here Seb. I think judging by reactions on here and elsewhere that people are sensing there's more that needs doing than simply hiring a proven coach so I doubt that passes would fly off the shelves. That said, I think that a proven head coach in charge would see more passes sold than if/when Radford is announced.

I already have my pass by the way.

If you were coach of another SL team, would you sign any of them? I'm afraid until someone comes clean and says what actually happened, no-one will want any of your players in case they are buying in trouble, and no coach will want to go there either for fear of getting the same 'support' from the players Gentle got.

I doubt that will happen, although it did as rlSunderlandrl, perhaps
