I agree. Sometimes I feel that when they lose they just shrug it off and say "So what?" and all we get a PR pieces from the club saying they're hurting and putting more effort in at training.

| Quote Sheldon="Sheldon"With up grades to Crooks, Lineham, Shaul and others and with us signing Paea, Feka, Thompson and maybe Biggs how much do you think we've got left?
Do you honestly believe Galea was on 100k? Tickle, Briscoe, Lynch and O'meley will leave us with a little but only for some project from the WC.'"
I've no idea what the young lads increase is but if the signings of Paea, Feka and Thompson leaves us with very little left on the cap then we really do pay over the odds for mediocrity.

| Quote Sebasteeno="Sebasteeno"So do I, AND?'"
Wtf are you talking about? You said you're going to walk away. I said you don't go.
I never claimed I go! The fact I've put Sydney as my location gives it away.
You then asked me how I know all about the club. I said I don't (and never claimed to btw) but I watch the games. suggesting that's how and why I can pass comments about the games.

| Quote Sheldon="Sheldon"But was that said?'"
I've no idea but in the tweet list Baxter replied to someone asking that specific point.
Which do you think is the most likely ? Radford accepting the job based upon having absolutely no involvement whatsoever in who plays for him or the Baxter clarification that he will be heavily involved ?

Because it didn't come across like that to me.

As I listened to it and read Baxters comments it wasn't, to me, a true representation of what was been said.
Alot of ccoaches don't have a say in recruitment nowadays.

| Quote AirlieBird82="AirlieBird82"I don't think it will be as simple as Tony signing players and Radford having to work with them. There's bound to be some communication between the pair so that they're on the same page about the type of players the club wants. I think it's more likely that when it comes to the intricacies of making the actual signings (negotiations and contracts) that Tony will deal with all that and Radders won't be involved.'"
This is exactly what's confusing me. If this is the case Why have Hull got an ex RL player doing the contracts and not a man with business acumen. I know at Rovers Sandercock identifies the players he wants and then it's up to the CEO I.E Mike Smith to get the player across the line. I'd have thought Hull would be doing the same, So for the same process you'd have Radford identifying players and discussing this with Tony but that's far from what was mentioned in the press conference.

To be honest I have not heard the press conference I just read what was in Baxters post and just wanted to clarify just what involvement Radford had with Tony over signings.

| Quote Anakin Skywalker="Anakin Skywalker"I'm sorry but can I ask what did he mean by he will coach with discipline and fear?'"
Was quoted by Pearson not Radders, maybe not the best adjectives to use but I guess it will mean that players can expect the hairdryer treatment if they don't perform, rather than the Gentle laid back approach, worked for Fergie......

They haven't set out a lot of it in detail either. It surely makes sense that the arrangement will be what several have now set out.
I can't imagine the scenario Airlie Street mentioned (players etc. turn up to training and there's a new face there) would happen. If it does, we're in more of a mess than we thought.

It seemed pretty clear, I might not be hearing it as intended.
That scenario does happen though.
