Thanks, but it doesn't take a genius to work out that's what they've implied for 2 years now, at least he'll finally have is squad next season. Lets see how that works out. Not been funny, but I reckon every single person on this forum could have done as good, if not better job than Radford with the resources he's had. He should do better next season , with the way the squads looking, how much better remains to be seen

OK so you can't find such a link. In that case show me a link quoting any coach ever, saying he has weakened a squad since taking over a club.

There are certainly plenty of wannabee coaches on here, I'll grant you.

Are you smoking crack, do you honestly not think, pearson and Radford have not blamed the previous regime for the past 2 seasons absolute poop?

Can you not comprehend English?

Of course they have claimed the squad is stronger, as every coach does.

I've asked you and UllFC where they said Radford inherited a "disaster of a squad and has had to start from nothing".

They didn't, it's just typical of the OTT rubbish posted on here.

This article was unnecessary and unhelpful.

It has provoked a negative reaction on here and probably moans of "heard it all before" from fans who don't read this board.

There was no need for it at all.

Correct me if iam wrong,but didn't radford inherit a team that finished 6th and reached a challenge cup final,hardly a train wreck.

Can YOU not comprehend English is the question, if you cannot read between the lines then you've zero grasp of understanding the English language and what is being said in a non direct way, wake up FFS!
Radford and Pearson have effectively laid the blame at Gentle (and SM) door since Radford's appointment and in almost every single interview there has being a mention of it in one form or another, that you insist that hasn't being said is your failing to understand not others whom can clearly see through the BS being spun by both protagonists.

I hope Radford fails, and fail he will (oh we might nudge 5th or 6th whoopdefookingdo) but he's a man that goes back on his word, he's a bastabber and a bully. Secondly even with a 17 full of internationals we still wouldn't make a final as he hasn't learnt dick, still makes the same old mistakes every fooking weekend and still hasn't got a clue on how to improve basic core skills, still can't improve our attack at the critical points, nor improve players in areas they need.
He can't even accept the failings lie right at his door, he's utterly deluded and it would appear some fans equally so thinking this turnip is going to turn us around.

The boy who cried wolf..........

Tough words, care to substantiate any of that?

Was this deliberately ironic?

Got to say I agree with the ones saying that whilst there have never been any direct accusations aimed at Gentle (or Bomber) there has certainly been inferences that our problems are their fault.

Just for example, this is from AP's programme notes last year (
"Both of them are now making inroads into moulding their own squad for next season and we have some exciting signings confirmed and some close to being confirmed."'"

The problem is he said that about this season also

I fully agree with the others on here that this is nothing more then b.s. and spin. Still blaming the previous regime for our current failings and predicament and setting the bar of success very low.

It buys Radford more time and offers optimism for next season to the fans who fall hook line and sinker for the nonsense the club churns out at times.
Pearson himself has said to me via e mail that the only mistake He made was appointing gentle so fook knows what he sees in Radford to think he is the messiah.
Radford cannot improve himself or the players any further and all this improved recruitment will do is cover and hide his coaching deficiencies with better players and God forbid it buys him a contract extension.

Exactly.

If we finish top next year with improved recruitment that'll only be papering over the cracks IMO.
