If he's not, Pearson isn't a fraction of the businessman I had assumed he was.

Joke appointments by a joke club. I hope you all know they've just set us up to expect bang averageness for the considerable future whilst the local lads come to fruition. Pearson hasn't got a clue

I think Pearson's got financial issues. Why if you truly wanted to build a club and achieve top 4 finals would you make a decision on the coach so quickly without finding out who else is available?
Personally the Motu Tony appointment is also supporting evidence that this is the case.

I hope I've very wrong.

Season pass sales are going to be down on last year.

Obviously he wouldn't get the full 2 years worth. There may be a notice clause in his contract and he could have got payment in lieu of notice. There could also be a discount for accelerated receipt. It sounds like PG and AP came to an agreement fairly quickly and easily, which is good news for all concerned.

What would you have done, oh great oracle?

But you have? I'm not overly keen on the appointment but if AP hasn't got a clue we should shut the forum down.

And the Over-reaction of the Day award goes to...

This is no quick decision. Its been in the pipeline for weeks, possibly longer. It lead to last weeks god awful performance. We can only hope it turns out well.
I don't believe we need an Aussie coach. Their training methods are not that far ahead of ours anymore. There is also no need to know the Aussie market anymore as decent Aussies who can get visas are no longer financially viable to SL.
I am though yet to be convinced that Radders is the man. I am though willing to give him a chance until the end of Feb

Just want to say that I think Blunderside have really outdone themselves this time. Farcical would be a compliment.

Allam probably sabotaged the O.B. truck

Why?

You would rather have Kath & co. back?

Because of "technical issues" they couldn't get the press conference out live. Took them about an hour to get something on air and all they managed was the opening five minutes. Couldn't hear the questions being asked due to distortion either.

Oh right, even hulfc live was behind hdm.
