And the Over-reaction of the Day award goes to...

This is no quick decision. Its been in the pipeline for weeks, possibly longer. It lead to last weeks god awful performance. We can only hope it turns out well.
I don't believe we need an Aussie coach. Their training methods are not that far ahead of ours anymore. There is also no need to know the Aussie market anymore as decent Aussies who can get visas are no longer financially viable to SL.
I am though yet to be convinced that Radders is the man. I am though willing to give him a chance until the end of Feb

Just want to say that I think Blunderside have really outdone themselves this time. Farcical would be a compliment.

Allam probably sabotaged the O.B. truck

Why?

You would rather have Kath & co. back?

Because of "technical issues" they couldn't get the press conference out live. Took them about an hour to get something on air and all they managed was the opening five minutes. Couldn't hear the questions being asked due to distortion either.

Oh right, even hulfc live was behind hdm.

A delay is one thing but that was just ridiculous. Might as well have not bothered IMO.

Someone contacted them and said that this would never have happened if it was a Hull City (sorry, Hull City Tigers) Press Conference. I agree.

Some summary points

Pearson:
Were following the Wigan / Saints blueprint
10-11 senior pros coming from academy - unprecedented
In the 16's, 17's, 18's we have a unique talent pool from Hull that need to be natured
We will continue to add Marquee signings but the main squad will be from Hull
Radders 3 year contract
Natural leader commands respect, knows the culture of the hull people and city
Will coach with discipline and fear, to ensure the team plays every week and not just when they want to
Will bring stability and consistency
6th place and Wembley not bad, but gap between worst and best performances to big
Easiest and cheapest decision would have been to stick with PG for two more years
Playing squad is strong, can still compete for Wembley + top 4
Two SL clubs tries to get Andy Last
Watched and was impressed by Radders coaching ability of defence in last 12 months, peopler don't realise he has been involved in coaching for 12+ years
Objective is to achieve an attacking identity
Doncaster - negotiations are ongoing nothing agreed yet, but the link would be good geographically, have had discussions with Cooke
Recruitment will be Motu's responsibility, leaving Radders free to coach

Radders
Not been an easy decision to take role, massive job, excited
Have been coaching since age 22
There will be no excuses of "he's not my signing"
Players who don't buy in to what we are doing won't be wearing the jersey
This season we have been victims of our own hype
PG was laid back and likeable, certainly different to other coaches I've worked under
Spoke with PG yesterday, wished me well and thought best bloke for the job
Will draw an experience under other caoches such as Noble, still speak on regular basis

?? Sydney link might have been, started a few minutes late as had been tweeted, but was live, I was certainly hearing it before Smailes was tweeting.

It did go on a loop after it had concluded (less than 10 mins at a guess) so if you linked in late it will have been the loop replay
