£1.00

Wouldn't argue with that.

Careful what you wish for!!! If Adam Pearson went we probably wouldn't have a club

This is the point people fail to grasp, I'm unsure why when the facts are:
1) The club was up for sale for years with no buyer, and that was with recent major final history and gates touching an average of 14k at one point.
2) Most clubs at the cap lose half a million a year. So you need a benefactor willing to put that much in in the long term. Cash down to buy the club and £5m over 10 years means you have to be a pretty serious supporter. Realistically who are the people fitting this bill and forming a queue?

I don't want him to go, I just want him to get some better advice and appoint a quality manager and coach.

That's my view too. He doesn't help himself with some of the comments he comes out with though.

The "top four would be a good season" comment looking particularly stupid now.

Of the middle eight? That looks a stretch right now.

Yes, me too. Why would you get rid of dry rot by nuking the building?

He should step back and appoint someone who knows the game to take care of the club and make important decisions starting with appointing a suitable head coach and assistants

The east hull ambulance chaser would buy us in a shot. Buy some old players let some good players go hire a cheap coach run us into the ground and then merge us with another team who he's pals with........oh

I find him quite arrogant and patronising to be honest.

Do I want him gone? i don't want him gone, I just want him to stop pratting about really. His off-field appointments have been a bit of a joke & seem rushed; as we know too well the multiple failed signings and payoffs were idiotic; our commerical setup doesn't seem as good as it was; we've had about four training basis.

All this talk of him 'investing' too? He's been paying out for his own mistakes basically.

As someone else said earlier on the thread, he needs to carefully appoint some people who know what they're doing to run the club properly. At the moment we're a laughing stock.

He did this when he first bought the club and appointed McRae. After his fingers were burnt down to the knuckle as a result he stepped up himself - trouble is, there was only Radford left within the club to offer advice.

As Radford had at that time an agenda - to oust and replace Gentle - that advice was inevitably tainted (my opinion based on how I saw events evolve at the time). And so we have the "local boys for local clubs" nonsense, as Radford tried to paint an analogy between himself and the likes of Wane - it's a compelling argument if you're not fully au fait with the sport and it's complexities, and unaware of the diminutive size of the ball pool that represents available talent at this isolated end of the M62. Not many big fish in that small pond two years ago - it'll take years to develop it into the thriving lake Wigan and it's close neighbours collectively have available. The clutch of tiddlers available to us nibbling at the heels of the sleeping giant isn't going to rouse it in the timescales Pearson hoped for.

So Pearson's been badly advised, twice. After the costly first time he's grabbed the reins himself. And appointed Radford with his weaker arguments for success as chief whisperer into the ear. And firmly pinned his badge to this strategy. (It's cheaper and sounds plausible to the newbie.) I agree he needs a mentor. Question is, after McRae, will he have the stomach to trust again?

I don't think Pearson should go. I would be extremely worried about who would buy us - Allam? And then get rid of us all together. I trust Pearson, I don't necessarily agree with his decisions all the time but I do believe he does what he thinks is best for the club.
