Quote Lang Park="Lang Park"Can't we all draw a line under this now and agree to evaluate Radford's performance at the end of the season?
The league table after the top/middle 8 games will show without question whether he's been good enough.
It's not enough to merely make the 8. If we aren't in the running to make the final 4 with two games to go I'd say we haven't achieved our goal for the season.
Before anyone jumps on me, I'm not a Radford hater, neither will I be calling for his head if this objective hasn't been achieved.
The buck stops with AP, Radford is his appointment and in 2011 he said that he will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst he is the owner of this club.
I think that 4 years is long enough for him to have made substantial progress towards this goal, so I don't think I'm being unreasonable.'"
Very sensible post. Radford is coach till the end of the season and if we make the 8 I think he will keep his job because its a considerable improvement on last season. If we don't make the 8 I think he should go but I will back him until then.
Despite what Pearson said I think financial constraints may have caused him to moderate his ambitions.
