Quote: Rock God X "I'm gonna go out on a limb and say 'by sacking a decent, experienced (but by no means perfect) coach, and replacing him with an utterly clueless one'. The first rule of sacking coaches (or getting rid of players, for that matter) should nearly always be 'don't do it unless there is someone better available'.
Pearson failed to observe that rule, and now we're seeing the consequences.'"
I'd go as far as to say he's listened to poor advice from the wrong people with vested interests, but I'll be accused of imagining a conspiracy theory again. As opposed to reaching a logical conclusion from the available but compelling evidence seen.
Wonder who or what persuaded Pearson that Radford was a better prospect than Gentle.
