Don't think it's fake news. I just believe that his relationship, trust, belief in Radford is that tight it would take a lot for him to dismiss the coach.
Only when on field there's no return for his investment and crowds start to dwindle will he act.

Lee will be here next season and so the wheel rotates again and again and again.
Hardly inspiring stuff.

AP on sports talk tonight at six.

Im always happy for Pearson to show passion for his club, and positive signs that the club are planning to grow the coaching team as that has been a big weakness in my eyes.

But I dont agree with his comments that this was a transition year and didnt expect to make the playoffs. The message from the club this time last year when they were trying to shift some passes was that the 'class of 2016' still had 'it' and would be having one more shot at glory. At no point do I remember the fans being told to lower their expectations. Even in recent weeks we've been told the Grand Final as a target, every game a playoff tie etc

I understand the club is a business and they being honest and saying 'next year will be a duff one' doesnt sell passes, but he cant have it all ways. If they hype it up and have to deliver.

On the increasing crowds point some of it is obvious, we need to play better at home. We have several freinds and family who are what i'd describe as 'floating fans' due to either finances, work commitments or only being interested in the bigger ties only go to a few games a year. Apart from the Derby everytime these extra fans have come with us this year it has been a complete and utter letdown, theres little to no incentive to splash out on a pass.

Theres a few smaller things the club can do to try and improve the matchday atmosohere. Do we need the same music booming out each week before kickoff? Some weeks you cant even hear the person next to you, nevermind getting a chant going.

Handing out flags for big games seems to work for some clubs, it gets people off their seats and just makes a game a bit more special.

Also if the SMC allow it, can they reopen the East/North corner with cheap tickets? Overtime more people have moved from the East Stand to West Stand and this has further cut the atmosphere. The East stand is the first thing the players see, its what the cameras see, its meant to be our 'Kop' and we need it buzzing again.

I dont sit in the South stand so maybe not best placed to comment...but viewing for a distance, the reserved seats they put in a few years ago dont seem to have boosted sales, and Unreserved seats always means people get there earlier. So this could do with a review.

Let’s just be honest, as much as we are all greatly appreciative of what Pearson as done for the club, he’s talking a load of old horse poop. I like Pearson a lot, but this is just rehed nonsense

I thought his passion came through again.
He acknowledged the coaching team needs strengthening, and alluded to a change of playing style.
Have a feeling he may change things next year if things not going well.
Very interested to see who strengthens the coaching side.

All well and good changing things if Radders tenure isn't working out, but a full pre-season with a new coach would surely be better.
It would seem AP shows the same sort of loyalty to LR as LR does to his players. From an employer/employee relationship this is just what you need, but sport isn't a normal business.
I think LR's loyalty to his players has backfired on him a number of times this season.

AP told me exactly what message Masi had been sent and believe me, he wouldn't make it up. I doubt it was even from one our fans, it was both racist and sick. There's some head cases out there.

Two things struck me from the interview with Adam Pearson

1) Speaking about the terrible home form and blowout results,Pearson said Radford had gone to him and asks how can we improve
So you have the coach who really doesnt know what to do about the clubs form and asks the Chairman for advice.
Sounds more like can i have a vote of confidence Mr Chairman

2) Pearson said that both Radford and himself regret moving Watts out

So do all the fans Mr Pearson
Ironic he is now in the England squad for the first time

Another season down the pan but as we know its jam tomorrow so dont forget to buy your passes

Well if it is racist its one for the police surely

Just had a listen to his blunderside interview and have to say I'm not very convinced connor will still be here next season. Interesting what he said about watts

You were an unlucky semi final draw away from yest another Wembley appearance might have been 5 in 8 years and 2 wins at Wembley. Top 5 or unlucky 6 this season....under the volume of injuries once again...most of SL would love to be in FC position.
I don't think Radders is doing too bad myself.

had it not been for the now admitted mistake in moving Watts out i would agree with you .
The problem He has is do we move him on or take the gamble that Radford can sort him out.
I think a lot will depend on how he and the team performs on Friday.
Another outburst from a frustrated Connor and Pearsons first phone call will be to Sinfield

Connor will be Hall of Fame. However if he can't be managed properly then it won't be as a Hull player and we will all cry into our scarves.

LR has lost the dressing room. The performances suggest they don't play for him. What other conclusion can you draw ?

Soooo, Lee Radford is going to turn fans into supporters now. I don’t think after 60 years of supporting FC I need him to tell me how to support. I could tell him to play open exciting Rugby and make me sit on the edge of my seat instead of watching his version with my head in my hands. FFS get real!!!! This coming after AP’s interview just piles bs after bs.
