I will if that's because the owner is too stubborn to sack an inadequate coach. I've watched us since the late 70's so 2 spells in the lower leagues but that was because we were skint, playing in a run down stadium in front of small crowds. No excuse for it now

That was what Pearson said in his e-mail to me. I just can't help thinking that this is rich after the immediate sacking of Peter Gentle after one big loss... I know Gentle wasn't an amazing coach but doesn't the stats show he did better in his time than Lee has in his?

I would agree with him if the general trend was upwards but under radford it's getting worse. If there were even a glimmer of light at the end of teh tunnel he'd get my support but we're so poor and declining that there is no prospect we're ever going to turn the corner

| The sad thing is, IF we beat Salford on Friday and get the much needed 2 points he'll be safe again. I personally won't be happy unless there is a 30 points winning margin, because more than anything else I feel the team needs to find a ruthlessness about them. Adam needs to show his ruthlessness and get rid.

| He might be happy throwing his money away but many fans are normal working people with limited incomes. If people do not get value for money and are unhappy they will cease to go to the games. So AP thinks we should put up and keep investing in his idea of how a rugby league club should be run. Well by the comments on here for well over a year it is becoming quite cleR that even the most ardent fans are reaching the end of thier tether.

Ah I see, apologies, I just assumed it was a dummy spit

| I'd happily give Radford time if the signs were there that he was a good coach and improving is, unfortunately neither is happening, in fact I think we are worst than last season with better players. Same mistakes on the pitch and off it by Radford.

Here's hoping, even Harold from Neighbours would be an upgrade on what we've got now!

| I'm starting to think that one reason why he's keeping Radford is that he will do as he is told? Perhaps an experienced coach might challenge Adam? I do wonder why last year Tony Sutton left after 14 years? Perhaps as is written he did want to leave??? Guess we'll never know?

Bit like Agar and the Heths?
But this is Pearson's [ibusiness[/i. By his own admission he knows little about the game. A 'yes-man' is a liability as a coach in this situation as Pearson doesn't have the knowledge to call the right shots. And that would be a disastrous business decision.
Lang Park (I believe) suggests Pearson is a micromanager. Well, that's up to him if he wants to control the "business" side of the enterprise, but it would be a disaster if he exerted the same sort of influence over the playing and coaching decisions. He's no fool, so I'm sure he'd realise that.. um, wouldn't he....?
