Sorry - I know that's what you meant although it follows that if all the supporters bugger off then it's also the last chance saloon for AP. No supporters = no club I would imagine - a fairly simple equation. As I've said many times though the idea of some supporters leaving the fold when times are tough isn't a new one. It's always happened. Some fans have more of a stomach for tough times than others - it's peoples' own choice and whatever they decide doesn't make them better or worse than anyone else.

I can easily believe the last bit as one of the national dailies got hold of it before Wembley. Pearson isn't stupid and wouldn't have needed many reasons for getting rid knowing that the likes of Jacob Miller was one of our top earners and Joe Arundel was nicely secured on a highly lucrative 4 year deal. If Radford thought the same and did speak out he was right to do so - hardly back stabbing.

The papers said he would be sacked but not that Radford would be taking over IIRC. Radford didn't just bad mouth recruitment he was bad mouthing training sessions game plans etc etc which AP laterally also started doing. No way did AP wander down to the training ground one day and think to himself "that ex Aussie national Assistant coach doesn't know how to run a training session".

If the club eventually does get turned around then even more credit to Radford in that case. It would be hard to get away with bad mouthing a high quality setup - even to an owner new into the game. One man's backstabber is another man's whistle blower etc...

Well on the performance of the team so far the logical conclusion would be training and game plans have actually got worse and maybe the highly experienced ex National Assistant coach actually knew slightly more than the East Hull coach with less than a years professional coaching experience as an assistant. Maybe. Guess time will tell.

Nice one, I think I'll back myself on this one.

Probably not a good idea to embarrass the likes of Crooks and Miller at team meetings especially Benny Boy if you really want him to sign a new contract.

I'd like to here more details of these 'off field issues' before I take them seriously, obviously the club can't talk about McDonnel as he has legal action pending, but I struggle to think what issues could have caused a whole squad of approx 30 people to play so badly.

Our owner is not even meeting him and his agent to start extension talks till the middle of next week.

Ok then, well when he is playing for Huddersfield next season you can apologise.

I don't wish to know amounts. Just how you know. PM me please. See if we know the same way

You really need to focus on the drink and clubbing culture that's got a hold at Rovers. After all, you're paying them to sit in the stands nursing hangovers. That's not good. I thought that had been stamped out when Cockayne was sac- oh, wait, you [ibought[/i him back.

How much did it cost to bring Ulugia over and to pay off Walker?

Obsessed by us again i see

Try concentrating on the troubles at your own club

Crooks is back training with the club, after a few issues, hopefully it will get sorted as we are desperate for an attacking centre with some pace and flair.

Good luck in your new job Tony.

I'm not claiming to be Mr Sutton, just because I know how our cap is spent.
