Pearsons Mistake ! Pay peanuts ,Get monkeys .

Exactly - Motu Tony, Radford,& Last. cheap & hopeless.
My biggest concern is Radford recruiting the so called `better quality' players
from the usual talent pools at Bradford. Hull KR Castleford &Wakefield
before getting sacked, kickstarting the the usual scenario.

Any suggestions of anyone of prominence who would like to take
over the poisoned chalice?

I'm all ears Jake.
Magic one up for me?

I'd bring noble in for now, probably to work alongside radofrd until the end of the season then see how the land lies but I'd also be on a plane to Oz having a proper look at up and coming coaches who have worked with world class coaches for some time.

What would you do?

This is what we should do and we should do it right now

Against a patched up Wigan side they should have made a better effort than that.

Pearson isn't in it for the long term now , that is why he appointed radders.

Bring more Aussies in, as the goal is club hull.

so the plan is to appoint a cheap coach, who takes the club backwards meaning the club is worth less than AP paid for it, so this plus his big investment he sells the club for a big loss. Yeah I can see this being his plan.

Id keep Radford but bring him some support, totally against Noble as head coach, but I think he would be a good man to bring in to support Radford, same as Kear.

The 'bigger picture' is that the club's PR machine spent the entire off-season telling us that the players now had their man in charge, how things had been let slide for too long, and how the whole ethos within the club had now changed. Interview after interview appeared, with a succession of players telling us how they all wanted to play for Radford, and AP telling us how the effortless, lacklustre performances were a thing of the past. There were plenty of veiled digs at Peter Gentle's 'soft' style of management, and a number of not-so-veiled assurances that the Radford way of doing things would be so much better.

The reality is that there's now a very good chance we either won't make the eight, or, if we're lucky, we'll just scrape into it. This would be significantly poorer return than the 'soft' Peter Gentle achieved. If things looked to be improving, you could point to the 'bigger picture' and say that your mate deserves more time, but the fact is that all the signs are negative.

Really feel Radford has got himself in a very difficult position. He has tried to be the tough uncompromising disciplinarian like he sees Wane at Wigan and McDermot at Leeds. However he has failed to see how positive these coaches are for all things good instead of being really negative for all things bad. Makes such a difference to the collective mindset, he has misjudged it so badly not sure how he can rectify the situation and get the players back on board.

As I've posted before I didn't want PG to be sacked I thought personally he needed another season, it's nothing to do with me wanting Lee to stay in the role "cos he's a mate" the squad are at a low with some key players not performing, will some of the current squad perform consistently week in week out? Who knows, we are not beating or even matching teams with any kind of performances at present for a number of reasons, & I blame a few things & not 1 thing in particular.
I also see that most of the squads are improved to, so this is also making it harder for us to make the 8, a play off spot as got to be earned, no team as a right because we think our team is good or we have made it before.

That's because our players blame everyone except themselves for bad performances.

Seems fairly split that people see it either being Radford's fault and he needs to go or it's the players and he needs time to weed out the bad apples. Question I have though is there are slackers and bad apples in any organisation, aren't the best managers the ones who succeed despite these influences

I don't think bringing in someone to 'assistance staffers would work at all, he would see it as his authority questioned.

He knows the task ahead of him , and it says more about the players , the performances they are delivering.
