I've put my point across many times both highly critical and supportive. I don't feel the need to trot out the same boring crap on every thread day in and day out like I read on here from the likes of yourself, bumpy and knowledge-free standee. You're as boring as our early season attack structure and tactics. The best thing about winning isn't the 2 points gained it's the fact that you lot go quiet for a week. Hope that means enough for you.

some of us do have work to attend you know...

Just a few of Adam Pearson interview highlights over the last 12 monthshttps://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Adam-Pearson-Hull-FC-Q-2015-pivotal-year-want-win/story-23056073-detail/story.htmlrl

if you're still not convinced he's Pearson on film, first question will do the trick...

'Do you regret sacking Peter Gentle?' "No I wish I'd done it earlier really, because obviously Radders is having to sort out quite a lot of the issues he left behind"

Its clear to me in that both interviews are attempts at deflecting blame from himself and Radford by making out that 2012 & 2013 were poor, disappointing years for the club. When the reality is 2012 & 2013 were much better seasons compared to what we had under Agar and last year under Radford. That excuse was already wearing thin back in October 2014 when the HDM interview was given, but for the club to be still trying to paint the same picture in August 2015 is ridiculous IMO. Judging from the mixed opinions on this thread I am far from alone in thinking that.

Not too keen on Gentle either, by the looks of it. Why do you bother??

I think the squad is looking good for next year, and I hope LR get's it right as I yearn for some success like everyone else.

I won't be buying a pass though as I'm tired of being let down every year (for the last 7/8 anyway) and I fear LR simply hasn't got the skill set to turn the squad which is good on paper into a team that can challenge for trophies.

Articles like the one in the HDM is just more of the same for me, every year its the same old rhetoric.

I guess there isn't much else they can say though.

I really hope I'm proved wrong next year and LR blossoms into the coach AP thinks he can be, and we can play an entertaining brand of rugby and challenge and compete with the top 4 (I say challenge and compete - not better before anyone jumps on that)

you went all the way through my history to find that, you stalking me?

I'm also happy to admit with hindsight I was wrong! He wasn't the right coach for us long-term, but how was I to know at the time we'd replace him with Radford!

you know full well I was paraphrasing, anyone with half a brain can see what Pearson is implying with his comments

It didn't take long, about a minute, knowing full well that I'd find something.

Mr Gentle wasn't so popular in 2013, you're not the only one to mention it.

Anyway, I thought making excuses wasn't allowed?

Still a bit creepy though isn't it, trawling back through 2 years of someone's post history, still if its what you want to do with your Wednesday nights...

But it's OK for you to trawl back for Pearson quotes?

So I'll read between the lines, Pearson basically says that Gentles recruitment was poor, can anyone argue with that?

As I said, it took about a minute, probably as long as it took you to amass all those AP quotes.

The trick is not to believe everything you hear/read, particularly from football club chairmen.

With the best will in the world, success is never guaranteed, but some on here seem to think that because AP said it, it will happen. And when it doesn't (which is more likely than not), they just love to complain.

His recruitment WAS poor, but as the HDM article that kicked this thread off states only 7 of the Gentle team that got hammered in the playoffs remain, and I don't see anyone suggesting we get rid of Shaul, Watts, Houghton, Ellis, Green & Westerman. Only Yeaman attracts mixed reviews. So why is Radford still talking about Gentle's recruitment?

Looks like you will be tearing your hair out then over the next 6 weeks ( if you have any) responding to all the criticism as its very likely we will not pick up a win.
If that happens it makes Radfords second year tenure with his own squad really poor.
Who is Knowledge free standee?

.... because AP recently said that he wished he could have given LR the same financial backing that he had wasted on Gentle and Macrae.
