That is the claim I was getting at, but I worded it badly in a rush. We have persistently been told by Pearson about how Radford is turning the club around, yet for all this club rebuilding he's been doing 2 years on all we can really say with certainty is that we're now less s**t than in his first season. And this after spending a small fortune paying off players who were apparently the root cause of our problems, but would actually almost all be out of contract in a couple of months anyway.

You're right that it hasn't actually been specifically stated, but my personal perception is that Pearson has at times attempted to lay the abominable 2014 season largely at Gentle's door, and thus treat the improvement since as some sort of vindication that Radford is fixing Gentle's mess. So that's where I agree with UllFC, that the situation Radford took over has been overemphasized to how bad it actually was.

So much heat and light generated by an article that basically says "Next season we'll have a better squad and will be expected to do better".

Grips in short supply on here as usual.

nail on head

Good summary. 2015 better than 2014. Squad upgraded and Radford in last year of his contract. Pretty straightforward to see what the scenarios are next season. We improve again or Radford is replaced.

Far to difficult for the hard of thinking on here.
Can you make it a bit simpler?

We are still bottom of the league
