Well I've just received my abusive PM from Radford's best mate. The sooner he's banned again, the better.

We need to clear out the whole of the coaching set up and (eventually) all of the players who have been involved during this frustrating period. The fact that 'just' changing the coach won't rectify the problems is not a reason to persist with a man who clearly isn't up to the job. For five years.

It is vitally important that the person charged with rebuilding the club/squad is capable of doing so, and that he is capable of getting the best out of the group of players at his disposal until changes can be made.



I haven't seen a single poster say that we have a 'great squad'. Not one. What most are saying is that the squad ought to be doing better than is currently the case. A good coach/manager would be achieving that. Look at what Tony Pulis did at Palace this year. They were one of the favourites to go down when he took over and hadn't been out of the bottom three for most of the season. He got them organised and playing for each other and managed an 11th place finish. A pretty immediate improvement without anything like a 'great squad'.

A good coach and 4 good signings would make us a top 4 side within 2 years, the gap isn't that big as Hudds, Cas and Saints have shown.

Warrington also did in a few years ago, Smith took over in the March 2009, they finished 10th that year, the next season they finished 3rd and have not been out of the top 3 since.

I don't disagree, but we seem to be struggling to even make above average signings, let alone good one's!

Sa is a good signing, if it happens, just 3 more IMO, two are halfbacks though which is a real problem.

Sa is bang on the below average marker.

You normally talk a decent amount of sense, but this is a bad post

Here here.

Powell made a huge difference at cas,dragging them from wooden spooners to mid table with the same players millward had failed miserably with.Coaches need the tools to work with but radford is clueless,after all this season he dont have the foggiest which is his strongest team,chopping and changing all the time except for his favourites.Confidence is built on having an extended run in the team,building partnerships and understanding with fellow players,not looking at the team sheet wondering if its your turn to be dropped. Being outcoached by fans favourite agar and his team of stars,just about says it all.

I'm not sure AP will be patient enough to allow him 5 years. The fans certainly won't be. We've had our first below 10k home attendances for years this year, people are glad that they can now pay for passes for 2015 in instalments but are already questioning whether they are going to bother at all. Much more of the type of performance that we've seen in the last 3 weeks and people will start voting with their feet. Will AP be forced to make changes if revenue drops significantly? Of course he will.

The whole club needs a shake up, and AP needs to set out that we can pretty much forget challenging for the next few years until that's done. We've seen it before of course, but a proper 5 year plan needs to be set out and sold to the fans, who must buy in to it.

Perhaps a "rev-hull-ution"
