Can we please not start the "My Dad is bigger than your Dad" stuff?

Ok, (he is tho )

The difference being that in the last 8 years we have appeared in 3 Challenge Cup Finals (winning one) and a Grand Final.

We are a long way behind the likes of Wigan, Warrington, Leeds, Saints and Huddersfield but we have unarguably been more successful than you in recent years - except in derbies which are of course your cup finals. At least our new local coaching team should be able to get the players up for the derbies now.

Yes we are Newcastle United. Who are you? Stoke? West Brom? Norwich? Fulham?

For all our problems I wouldn't swop with you.

The king is dead , long live the king ....

I'd say they're more Middlesborough.

Nah, they got their ground done.

More like a Port Vale....

Agree with everything you say.

What a friggin' mess!

I am not sure who is advising AP but clearly they are relying on blind faith of the supporters however I fear this may bite them on the backside.

I am not shocked that Gentle has gone and from a personal perspective I have mixed feelings, I have witnessed some of the best rugby I have seen for years (semi) and some of the poorest. If the dressing room has been lost then unless Gentle got the support to root out the problem/deal with the problem then sadly he was on a loser and my understanding is he knew this and walked.
A lot of people supporting Radders and claiming he will take no te and players will play for him etc, well my problem with this is if this was true why has this not happened already ? He was Gentles right hand man ffs! so why did he not have the players playing ?
AP is either getting the wrong advice/does not understand what has gone on in the past/is just bloody ignorant/or is smoking crack!
If these rumours materialise I shall not renew my pass next year, I will choose my games and see how things pan out, I love my club however I have simply had enough of the blind following I have given year in and year out.

kear for me mate

Think Gentle probably didn't do enough in the two seasons and maybe did justify getting rid but just don't get replacing him with less experience whether from Hull or not. Also fed up of perceived player power if I was AP I would make certain players free to talk to clubs to show we wont accept poor standards set like Thursday. The attitude of some players is awful when they pick and choose when they want to play .

John Kear is an excellent technical coach and would make an ideal assistant. He was probably the best signing Bomber ever made.

I wouldn't have him within a bus stop of a head coach's job

So if Radford doesn't do better, he gets what? Sacked and we end up back at square one again. And then what?

What a bloody mess.
