He is the first coach since Cooke left that has actually gone out and done something about our halfback situation which everyone on here has complained about so good on him.'"
Not true. Gentle addressed the halfback `situation' - but got it horribly wrong - Holdsworth,(crap) Miller(too young)
I am not convinced we've got right this season either, only time will tell I suppose - - - - -

| Quote: Mrs Barista "Good summary. The biggest disappointment to me has been our failure to compensate for lack of creative personnel by doing the things that give you a chance in close games - quick PTB, dummy runners etc. Hopefully we'll address the personnel issue via Sneyd and Pryce, but as importantly get the likes of Shaul and Naughton following up the playmakers to exploit their pace.
Happy with recruitment in the current market. Pleased with the next crop of youngsters coming through. Tying it all together is complicated so let's hope Radford's learning on the way and we can convert enough marginal losses into wins to get us up the table.'"
This is probably closest to my opinion. The biggest problem I've had with Radford is that he has done no better a job at addressing our biggest core failings than the last few coaches. He needs to improve at least some of these issues next season (and by that I mean improvement throughout the squad, not just via recruitment) before I'll start to be convinced he's up to the job.
The last few games contained some cause for optimism, I hope that continues as things coming together rather than a relaxed purple patch because the season was gone.

So we are the same size club as you. We have an engine (squad) car body (owners) and seats a plenty. Again explain to me why you are a BIG club.

Because we're a bugatti veyron and you're a dacia duster. Can I make it any more clear?

You are confusing "big club" with "successful club".
Newcastle United haven't won anything for decades but are still a big club.
You can deny it all you like but Hull are a big club.

| Quote: knockersbumpMKII "So, I'm sure many on here know my thoughts about Radford and indeed Pearson.
Yes we now have some good background investment but with the present coach we are going no-where.
he lacks integrity for one thing, he lacks knowledge, he lacks thought process, he lacks experience, he lacks man management skills..
Basically he is a disaster, how on earth did Pearson think he was the man for the job..why did Radford think he was the man for the job?
Please give workings out as to why Radford should still be here and not sat in a public park contemplating when to run on with the bottles where he should be?
discuss'"
I would be happy to discuss but not with a keyboard warrior who starts the "discussion" in that way and then slags off anyone who dares to disagree with their precious opinion.
What a waste of time.

| Hull are a bigger club in terms of support and have been on the pitch for most of the last twenty years except for the odd season lately both teams are in that middle group not troubling the big clubs but better than the bottom clubs the difference is Hull should be doing a lot better

| The way the OP question is written is a bit contrived, however, For me Radford was a surprise and a choice where I felt hope not confidence. Since then sink or swim tended more towards sink…. yet through all this I felt Radford spoke well to the media, always honest and spoke sense. After being pushed in at the deep-end he appears finally to be getting going, and I am looking forward to the new season with confidence. Good recruitment, youth showing up well (apart from Miller,) half backs who should be an improvement on last year. Radders has now cut his teeth, he'll better for that and I think we will do well in our 150th year. Scorelines suggested we weren't that far off last year, if we can get things mentally right i believe we can push for a top 4 spot.
