No idea how he will do, some mistakes and strange decisions in pre season, but lets see how that effects the season.

Someone has said the jury is out. If we use that analogy then the jury is only just being selected.

I come from the Gentle out , but oh no not Radford, brigade.

But he is the chosen one and he will get my support as I am Hull FC through and through and will always support initially at least the coach of my great club.
All we have had so far is 4 pre season games, which sadly he has stated only one was important and we won that. This smacks to me of the small mindedness we have accused Rovers of having over the Hudge era. Its not something I wish us to get into.
The other three games based on this were incidental. I may have read this wrong, but its how I read it.
Other than that off the field we have had almost a full squad in training since November 1st which apparently is a good thing. I would like to believe that if we didn't have an apparent rush to alter the squad with just 7 days to go to the big KO.
Maybe he has seen all he wants to see of some players since November and is not convinced that they will change. May I suggest that this may be a small failing in his management skills? (devils advocate)
But generally I believe AP selected him certainly over one other candidate because he felt that he could bring some discipline to the team / club. Discipline can be given out in many different ways and a good manager will know when a boll0x1ng should be given and when an arm round the shoulders is the appropriate form of discipline. Its a skill that is often sadly lacking in all professions. But when it is done well it works wonders. My gut feeling is that Radford does not have this skill. (its a gut feeling and I hope its wrong).
So whilst we have a small amount of evidence to answer the OPs question I do not feel the jury is out as we have not got enough evidence to prove either way beyond all reasonable doubt.
There will be some who will want top 4 and a good cup run or it will be failure. There will be others who will support him and the club whatever and will question peoples loyalty if they raise descenting questions about Radford.
Those of us in the middle want consistancy and commitment even from a less skilled squad. I believe if we get consistancy and 100% commitment to the cause, league position and cup runs will take care of themselves. More of the same that we have been served up since Peter Sharp's squad of 2006 and I suspect Mr Radfords association with Hull FC will come rapidly to an abrupt halt.
The next three weeks are going to be very interesting and may well if things go wrong put immense pressure on Radford and the team from the off.

Listening to him on radio he comes across very good talks a good game bit like Paul Cullen problem is he's a crap coach

Not actually read many positives or great attributes he has, though I have read on here and heard off friends he was pretty poor as captain. Now he has the chance to lead the team in another role.

Well on the bradford board you've more or less said he was Shiite!

Glad that Rovers fans know so much about our coach.

Which one - there are a few candidates

We'll See, We'll See

Who can forget the time he came out of retirement and inspired our team to victory over our poor neighbours?

(Nearly) everyone on this ridiculous thread, it seems.

And that tells us he will be a good coach how?

Fingers crossed he will do a decent job for us and at the very least set the club on an upward trajectory. However, I'm finding it difficult to ignore an uneasy feeling that we are into Agar pt2.

8 weeks should give him enough time to win over doubters.

What we HAVE to avoid is the old excuse we've seen for years - "Well, we'll judge him when he has his own team". A decent coach should be able to take ANY team and get something out of them.

Its the only tie that matters to him, stated so himself.
