Certainly not ours.
Like I've said before who knows who would express an interest should there be a vacancy?
Point is we can't carry on like this

| Quote Sebasteeno="Sebasteeno"Seen as you seem pretty obsessed with me at the moment ill give you my feelings.
Last few years FC have been rubbish, mine and a large number of fans optmism had dwindled and tbh hit rock bottom last season. You know how much i critised but tbh didnt lay the blame all at Radfords door - i very rarely critised him as he was dealt a bad hand after what Gentle and Mcrae had done to the club. I was prepared to give him a chance.
This year we have two new half backs that were supposed to revolutionise the club, earlier than every pre season, better consistency, talk from the club of much improved performances with no more hammerings. On this basis im prepared to give teh club my full support, ive bought both home and away shirts, one for the mrs, one each for teh kids - £230 outlay.
We play Hudds - thats more like it, the team played for eighty mins and played for each other. Finally we seem to getting it right. Room for optimism. Next game I take my family to the Warrington match. Not a bad performance but i felt that Warrington won at a canter and never got out of first gear but still a galant defeat (as usual). Salford - oh dear - back to the same old same old, lazy defence cant be d to get up for the so called 'lesser' teams attitude that has plagud us for years. Are we any different to previous years i start wondering? Leeds game, tbh i though we looked poor from the off saying to my brother that Leeds have a much better intensity. Leeds mess it all up with continual knock ons and forwards giving us nearly all the ball yet we go in only 12-0 up. The second half starts and they score immedately. What follows is absolutely disgusting. Nothing has changed in any way. Were as appauling as ever, possibly worse than ever and thats it my already very fragile confidence in the club is shattered AGAIN and i start going the offensive in voicing my opposition as to the appauling attitude and lack of ability the team, coach and club have. Radford hasnt got a clue as was seen by his after match talk to Sky.
And thats where i am, Radford has had his chances and is clearly not the man for the job - he has to go and now, Tbh id like Pearson to sell the club to a rugby man as his continual poor decisions are ruining the club as much as Radfords coaching. I know that wont be easy as FC is a poisoned chalice but possibly only so because of continual poor decisions on coaching. Bring a top notch coach in, turn performances around and nobody is bothered about the owners though. Until this happens im abstaining from being a supporter. Ill always be a fan but the club gets no more of money whilst it continues to be appaulingly run from top to bottom. Slate me all you want, i dont give a flying one, thats where i am and i suspect there are a hell of a lot feeling exactly the same'"
Warrington never got out of first gear and won at a canter? what game did you watch? be critical all you want you pay your money and you have your opinion but be real . I have yet to see you post anything remotely positive even when we win.Your not the only one who has bought shirts ect I bought four passes eight shirts and go to every game home and away including friendlies because i am a fan and whether they play good or bad thats my choice ,if you feel its not worth spending you cash then simple dont.But dont come on here talking garbage to justify your hatred Radford and Pearson.Take away the second half last week and i would defy anyone who say the players have not put a lot of effort in.Yes Radfords interview after last weeks game was not the best and after that performance what could he say?The only thing he could have said to please you was "I am off".Am i happy were we are No I would love to see us at the top .You have a dig at Pryce and Sneyd ? Pryce for me has looked really good and Sneyd a part from his shocking kicking game last night will get better.I know you probably want what we all want a side what can compete with the best but do you really think all this constant negativity is doing the club any good ..Rant over

| Maybe we just need to bring someone in alongside radford, maybe an attack coach or someone in the tim sheens mould at salford. Whatever, we need to do something and do it fast. 13 tries in 5 games is very worrying and we seem to be getting worse rather than better

They need to do more than express an interest, they need to be immediately available I.e. unemployed because no team will release its coach mid-season.

All this talk of bringing a top class coach in is pie in the sky. All the established decent coaches are tied up to clubs. Expressing an interest is a world away from someone leaving a club to come here. There've been vacancies before at this club and as far we know (with some confidence though) that no one "decent", the kind of name people are clammering for, has applied. If any of these names had applied we wouldn't have ended up with failed NRL coaches or assistants elsewhere or cheaper rookies. Some folk seem to think that just mentioning Hull FC would be enough to have a host of Wayne Bennetts knocking on the door. We are a name in RL but no more so than Wakefield or Fev' or Leigh. The Hull FC brand doesn't have the value or appeal a lot of posters think it does. And stumping up big cash doesn't necessarily buy anything more than a coaching mercenary.
And some of the blame has to lay with us fans. Why would someone leave themselves open to some of the vitriolic bile that's written on these forums ? Criticism does come with the territory of a head coach but some posters need to take a long hard look at themselves.

Customers expecting a return on their investment, how very dare they, we should keep paying £25 a game to watch players whom, in some cases, don't care. As much as I hate to say it, oh to have Horne/Manu and Tickle back, at least they tried. Radford needs to go, otherwise we'll be away at Dewsbury before we know it!

Your post had some credibility up until you blamed the fans on this forum for deterring would be coaches. What utter codswallop that is. Do you really think this forum even registers on the consciousness of those involved in the game, really?
Wayne Bennett was going to take the job but then read this forum and changed his mind yeah I can see that happening.
All would be coaches would be interested in is salary paid, contract, squad investment/recruitment and club infrastructure. Not what's being said on here by a minority.
But just incase you're right I better go stare in the mirror right now as yes I'm ashamed to say I have questioned Radfords coaching ability.
I'm not suggesting a top class Nrl coach would come here neither is anyone else but look at the make up of SL coaches all have been assistants in their own right and have either come through the successful structures at clubs or proven on merit they've been good enough to step up, neither unfortunately Radford can claim.
If a promising assistant or decent first team coach did express an interest in this club then contracts in sport as we have learnt aren't worth the paper they're written in at times.

| 1 out of 5 is probably were everyone expected us to be, isn't it? That's why you were all predicting 7-8th??
Everyone was surprised to see us beat Hudds 1st up, so out of Leeds, Wigan & Warrington, which was we expected to win? Because we've been damn close in all but one of them.

So what are you saying then? Because we are an 8th placed team it's quite acceptable to lose to every top 7 team? You don't ever play the top 4 teams expecting to win, but you do expect to turn one of them over every now and then.
