Enough is Enough.

Quote: BP1 "Abandon all hope all ye who enter here!

I honestly haven't felt this dispirited about the direction, future and prospects of our once great club since the very dark days of 1999.

As a club we look clueless, rudderless and directionless with no clear leadership from either boardroom or coaching staff. From the outside looking in, it's difficult to escape a feeling of in-grained accepted mediocrity being passed off as merely a transitory "we're a work in progress" ethic.

We need a fresh start, a total fresh start, not just simply changing the coach who then proceeds to further continue the same culture of missed opportunities leading to chronic underachievement and a never ending cycle of a club that cannot maximise its undoubted potential to be one of British Rugby League's great clubs.

We need a man (or possibly even a woman if that's what it will take) with clear ideas of the goals to be set and the knowledge and desire to formulate a plan to achieve those goals, whether it takes one year or ten. A man/woman working with their own trusted people in order to establish a winning mentality and a desire to be the best in all aspects of the club. That leadership and drive has to start from the top downwards (at both boardroom and coaching level).

If such a scenario was to come to pass (say in five years time), then I suspect that very few of the current playing roster will still be wearing black & white, and none of the current coaching staff will picking up a pay cheque at the Kc stadium. Due to the last 7 or 8 years of mistakes piled upon bad calls mixed with wrong turnings built upon some very shaky foundations of repeated errors of judgment, it may take the club years before any real progress is made, and patience is already growing very very thin amongst the faithful.

Who that person is, to revive the fortunes of a rapidly ailing club, I really have no obvious answer (probably because there isn't an obvious answer to the FC conundrum). The best man for the job is currently unavailable. It is widely believed he died some 2000 years ago, nailed to a cross on a hill. This was, apparently, as a direct result of his failure to get the People's Judean Front into the Hebrewian Play-offs. Although, in his defence, he did manage to get the very best out of an under-achieving half-back called Lazarus who seemed to cut a rather ghostly figure on the playing fields of Nazareth.

If we could find such a man, and he could turn water into wine at the KC stadium, then I trust we would show him a little more in the way of hospitality.'"

Spot On.......

for too long we as supporters have accepted excuse after excuse, season after season and now the sands of time are running out. Fans have had enough and voting with there feet we are on the slide downward, many of us have been here before and always knew we would be back again one day. It is vogue not to criticise the club or be accused of being faithless and not a true fan, most of these people have not been around a long while and will soon vanish into the nearest vacant anus they can find. I could not attend home matches for the last few years due to work commitments, now I can attend them all and too be honest I no longer feel the urge to go. I have found other interests that take up my time now and that the problem you break habits of a lifetime and you never come back. This time if the club slides down and down the hard core support is less then it has veer been, you only have too look at them streaming out five minutes to time win or lose or sit among them listening to crud being spouted. I rarely blame players, they do not want to play crap after all but too many of our crowd want a scapegoat for coaching/management failings. We see players giving it 100% the next week they are dropped, the current players look unhappy with each other almost strangers at times with moves/kicks right hand not knowing what left is doing

Clearly AP has had some poor advice and the last regime sowed the seeds he will reap. He needed time to learn and develop a team and he has now run out of time. He needs to act quickly and its not going to be cheap, nice and will split fans opinions. Radford will go its no a question if but when Friday's and Leeds ripping us a big new anus will do it because AP is no Rhino lover, anyone thinking Radford will continue beyond this season is deluded his attack on the fans was the end for me.

Radders may well have been a good appointment in a year or two, not now he is clearly out of his depth and that is APs fault a bad decision. The coaching at FC is one of the lightest in the game, all well meaning but that is part of the problem its all like an old boys network.

Get in someone who knows what they are doing to run the clubs coaching and player development.
