Quote: Dave K. "He has some fair points, but the title of the thread is way over the top. Would a club that is on it's death bed go out and spend all that money on bringing in 3/4 top players?
I really do think next season is a really crucial one in the clubs history, there is plenty to be positive about at the club, but now is the time to get it right on the pitch.'"
I agree with most of what the OP said and as you say would pearson spend all that money on new players if the club was dying,well he spent a lot of money last season on sneyd and to be fair have we seen any real improvement.The pack signings next season look very promising but we are back to the old chesnut of is radford the man to take us forward.The answer has to be no,one win in the super 8s,as hullfc1865 posts you can buy a ferrari but if the driver is no good its a waste of time.Didnt we say last season radford has while easter and he said "if I cant do the job I will walk" well im amazed if you think he's done a good job.
We had a lot of injuries at the backend of the season which in someways helped blood our youngsters,but what if we had the injuries earlier in the season? I doubt we would have made the 8,because a lot of the season we had a good run with injuries and luckily we had made the 8 before the injuries struck.Until we get a proper coach like powell we will remain on the edges of the top 8 at best imo. Still COYH.
