| Quote: Ian P "I think that being the coach of either Wigan or FC as an hot seat, Wigan where the fans have always been demanding and want success now, not next week or next season and FC has developed that way due to the constant spin and false promises we have had in recent seasons. We are under performing and have been for year on year, with a little bit of glory here and there to keep interests higher then was really due. The difference with then and now is we are out of rope, no time left we either start performing PDQ or thousands will walk away at the end of the season. A lot of people threw there weight behind the present set up in our 150th year, a final act of faith for many and I do not think the same fans will back it up next term.
The next few weeks are so vital, I am struggling to find a win amongst our next four outings. I do not think our squad is as good as it looks on paper'"
As several fans have pointed out we are short of an aggressive front row and with the exception of Shaul and Lineham the slowest back line in Super league.
Ellis and Mini are up there with the best but Westerman looks to be overweight and off the pace which is disappointing.
Its a bit scary when the coach has to recall Howarth from Doncaster.
Whats next for Pearson? Well he has dug a deep hole for himself with his public backing of Radford if it all goes pear shaped.

| Quote: knockersbumpMKII "The thing is though Ian, it is AP own mistakes and impetuousness that are the reason we are in the position we are right now.
We HAD a coach whom was taking us in the right direction, two solid 6th places and a Wembley appearance in Gentle's first two seasons with the youth system only just starting to kick in and on the back of Agar's tenure and the lack of investment in the club it was a near miracle.
Totally agree about Peter Gentle, he has a great rugby brain. The reason we lost at Wembley and Huddersfield in the play-offs was because he was told by some players and it was reported in the National press that Adam had decided to dump him. His heart had left the job. He told Adam exactly what he thought about him in their last meeting! It's a quandary Adam has only himself to blame for. If Radford was to leave tomorrow I wonder which super league team would be queuing up to make him their head coach?

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

| Quote: Diogenes "I didn't want Gentle to be sacked and didn't want Radford to be appointed. Like others I believe he got the job too early.
His win ratio is pretty poor but some of our results and performances have made me think perhaps he does have what it takes but needs more time. The problem is the new format doesn't allow us to give him more time.
There is a very real risk that we could be going back to work after Easter with one win out of 9 and over a third of the season gone. We would then have no chance of making the top 8.
Pearson could hold his nerve and we might turn things round and be 4 from 9 after Easter Monday if we beat Catalans, Cas and Rovers but that's a big if (when did we last win 3 in a row?)
Alternatively Pearson could decide to pull the trigger after the next 2 or 3 games if we lose them all. However the problem then is, who does he appoint? Who is there who is any good who is immediately available?
His predicament is largely of his own making but I don't envy him having to decide what to do next.'"
August 2013. Coincidentally, it was right after the run of 5 league losses that Pearson said made his mind up about getting rid of Gentle.
We've actually only managed even 2 consecutive wins on one occasion since (competitive games).

| simon moran spent a huge amount at wire in every aspect of the club except coaching and it got him the square root of feck all. He spends big on a proven coach and all of a sudden they have 3 CC wins, a league leaders shield and 2 GF appearances. It's not rocket science. You won't win anything without a good coach in place. I've said all along that appointing yet another untried coach was too much of a risk for the club in the situation we were in.

| A supporter from another club summed it up pre-season about both clubs - we both go out and spend the full cap bringing in decent quality, we both have a large fan base, we both play in decent stadiums (might be pushing it with Craven park but it is much improved) then its like we have no money left for a coach so go scraping down the back of the sofa and find a few old boiled sweets and a couple of coppers - that then gets you Radford and Chester

| Radford got shot of miller due to the fact that he didnt have time to develop him, he needed wins and instant success , as his job could be on the line otherwise, and anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves, miller will be a top player in my opinion,

Radford couldn't afford to give Miller more time and Pearson may not be able to afford to give Radford more time. Quite ironic really.

| Jesus H. Miller, again? Really?
Did these people not watch the 2nd half of Wakey v Saints? They saw the ONE AND ONLY decent thing he did all game and big him up as the next JT.
Miller, despite me desperately wanting him to be, wasn't, never was, nor will he ever be a top HB. He's at Wakey for a reason!

| Pearson - So what next?
What's next is he carries on and sees through his plan of action, as anything else would be complete lunacy and a sign of real panic & weakness.

Its more our fans loving to criticise, so any former player that has 1good game automatically becomes a mistake that will come back to haunt us.
