Fair enough and can't blame you for taking that action.
It does feel as though threads on here are just going round in circles and nothing is really happening at the club.
AP is worryingly quiet for me and would like to know what he is doing to improve things.

| Quote: FCFaithful Stu "I have been one of the biggest critics regarding the impact that McRae had using Howes as almost an exclusive supply chain of players. However, I can't buy the argument that the recruitment has placed us in this position.
Many players are signed each season by all clubs, some work out and some don't. I have no idea if Pitts was signed on an excessive contract but one thing I do know is many on here were very impressed with his form at some stage last season. Just compare the signing of Carvell, which Radford was responsible for, and the contract he will have been on and tell me if Pitts would have been any less of a player to have in the squad.
My point is maybe some of the salary cap could have been better spent, but in reality we are talking about 20% of the cap. I am confident in thinking that Cas are spending way less than 20% under the cap and so are Wakefield. It annoys me that blaming the tools left at his disposal has turned Radford in to an apologist who doesn't seem to want to say sorry but I am not getting anything like what is capable from this squad.
If there are issues and weak areas in a team, play to the strengths that the team has. I see no tactical sense and structured play that would win games we are narrowly losing.
Radford was brought in to correct what was seen as player power and weak management. Well it seems to me that all Radford changed was to call players out in public and treat them like children with banishment to Doncaster. I feel like the so called soft approach of Gentle was misread as weakness when in reality it was probably good man management. You work with what you have and any problem players are slowly moved on while you still get the best possible from them, especially if they are key players.'"
I completely agree with you on every point about Radford. Apologies if my post implied it, but I wasn't saying it was solely poor recruitment that put us in this position, more a combination of Radford mixed with a few years of poor recruitment decisions and direction from our DOR's & Pearson.

I quoted your post as I agreed with your points. Just wanted to add that I think recruitment is being hidden behind as the main problem. Especially by the club. I couldn't believe I was hearing Radford quote that £400,000 of the cap was unavailable, as he implied it had been wasted on certain players. He has only himself to blame for not getting the best from those players.
If certain players are on £100,000 and they should be on £75,000, they are still £75,000 players, therefore stop moaning about what they earn and get the best out of them. Its almost like the first day as head coach for Radford was spent looking through personnel files at what players earned and anyone who earned more than Radford and didn't deserve it in his eyes went on to a black list.

do we have any player genuinely worth £75k, I don't think we do.

The way some of them have played this season I don't think they're worth 75p...

I can see why Ellis is paid more than that, in a strong competitive team I could see him being worth every penny.
If the going rate for a SL player is around £60,000 then in theory many of our players are worth £75,000 as they would find other clubs willing to pay them that. Although I agree with your sentiment that non of the team are worth that going on this years efforts.
It would be interesting to know what Tuson earns, he wont have moved from Wigan for peanuts and can do no wrong in Radford's eyes, yet to me sums up the abject averageness of FC.

Then we need to ask why. He was happy enough last year.

Last year he didn't have the accolades he has now and an agent telling him to cash in on them.

Good answer Kosh. If that is true then it's very disappointing.

Rumours have been circulating for a while that he wouldn't sign an extension and his agent wanted more money than we thought he was worth. Sounds sadly familiar TBH.

Players like that always end up fooked. Agents are not there for career advancement - they get their 15% and are happy to push paper.
You'd think his father would be savvy about it, but if he goes, it's no big loss. Wingers and centres are abundant, particularly ones who don't have suspect defence.

Maybe things have changed ? I just threw it in for balance really - not claiming to know owt but it's not always the club at fault in these situations.
