Quote: Bombed Out "That is an alarmingly low number and shocking but unfortunately not unexpected.
Pearson has buried his head in the sand and doggedly stuck by a coach who has been instrumental in our decline on and off the field which in turn has driven away fans.
He's right that only winning will bring them back and I hope we do but do we have the correct infrastructure to do so?
The team on paper is the strongest for many a year let's hope Radford gets it right this season and the fans return.
Pearson however has been the master of our gates demise with his arrogance and contempt for fans at time.
Another and probabal final crucial season. Anothher repeat of the last 2 and I echo Barista's comments that to sustain the club at full cap will prove most difficult.'"
The three things highlighted
1. It cannot be shocking if you expected it to happen.
2. How has Pearson buried his head in the sand? A managers office with a revolving door would put us back to square one on a frequent basis. The cringeworthy line of "I need my players" or "Time to gel" cack would be reeled out time and again with yet another 2-3 year lead time. Personally I think Pearson should be applauded by sticking by a coach rather than being trigger happy in the fired button. Pearson has backed his man, at his own financial cost in the short term on the hope it works out. Its Pearson who stands to be a lot worse off than anyone else on this so I would say his eye are as wide open as you can get on this. Don't get me wrong, I have been a Radford critic, but this year he HAS to deliver.
3. Whats this arrogance and contempt for fans you talk of? If you think he doesn't listen to the fans (hasn't fired Radford at the bequest of fans disgruntlement) then good on him. A lot of very vocal fans speak out in the heat of the moment and most say irrational things.
