| Quote: carl_spackler "There's a possibility that Pearson might have trust issues with that now after the McRae issues, though (understandably). Especially can't see him bringing an Aussie he's unfamiliar with over to do it, not least because they'll be incompatible with his plans to bring young players through, Aussies don't do that.'"
I see your point Carl. Smith or whoever would be employed as an 'external' employee..
McRae & Gentle on the other hand , was hired by the same agent, who we signed half of his clientele.. |

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |

HDM say he was injured. |

It's OK. There's a queue a mile long to take over a position which allows you to spend your own cash on various projects such as paying players off, building dedicated training facilities, setting up youth structures etc. whilst at the same time receiving regular vitriol from intellectually challenged morons. |

Absolutely right Staffs. Mr. Doom and Gloom would certainly fit this criteria. |

Yet, we're worse of than when he took over.
Also, you've no idea (other than him saying so) that he's dipped into his own pocket to pay for the things you've listed above, of which, the most expensive (paying players off) was his own doing. |

He was right in the end: |
|
| Quote: Jake the Peg "pearson only has himself to blame for sacking gentle and appointing someone worse. I'd take a hammering in the end of season games for a top 6 finish and a wembley final now.
The squad is hopeless. Only 2 props, 1 hooker, 2 second rowers in their mid 30's and the slowest back line in superleague. He's trying to emulate bradford circa 2002 and the game has moved on. We offer nothing whatsoever in attack and the defence has gone from excellent to abysmal over night.
I honestly think if something drastic doesn't happen we'll find ourselves outside of SL next season. Easily the worst side in the comp on those last 2 performances'"
I posted last season about the new structure and how we'll be playing in front of 5k against Batley and the like. Again the club apologists and sock fillers said NEVER, no way will we be outside the 8..... |

Until 9.40 last night we hadn't been.
Make no mistake, last night was shocking, but the season isn't over yet FFS, or maybe for some it is. Out of the 320 minutes played we've been good/great for 200. Results in the other losses haven't gone our way for whatever reason, but certain socks will be filled at the prospect of not making the 8 whatever we do. |

Yes Chris, there'll be many on here who will be filled with joy if we fail. Fortunately there are many of the other persuasion. |

Indeed - after a quiet start to the season the club antagonists are back down the launderette with a sack full of socks this morning. |

They were gutted after the first couples of games although they'll have more of a jaunt in their step now. |

I may have missed it, but I haven't read anywhere that these where injured?
What about BTW and Howarth? |

Lots of the FC dedicated FB sites full of very unhappy fans. I think Pearson is gonna get his resolve tested as attendances now drop off and after a loss to Wigan we'll see a very low croud against Catalan.
