Great post - I feel exactly the same way, and have done since I watched Radford appointed in dismay.

Too late already now. Didnt think Pearson would have kept him up to this far. Its obvious he is not going to get rid of him so you can forget that. Just down to preying before the game now lol

The unopposed sessions is such an important point. There is now so much research evidence that shows that practising skills that are not directly related to the actual sport doesn't work. The old view that using a smaller ball in football training sessions or making the defensive line closer in a RL training session is old fashioned tripe. All it does is improve skills related to the strange training technique. The very best way of training is to practice exactly as the sport is played.

Fc just seem so confused in everything they do, they look like they are playing a different sport.

If he keeps Radford in charge for the rest of this season we'll be playing in the Chamionship next season. Pass sales will be the least of our worries.

After seeing carney tonight I'm going to email radford and suggest he gets pryce and sneyd to start drinking their own piiss

You must feel very proud of yourself.

I do. Let me have your phone number and I'll call you to explain how to use email

I am considering it but need to word it tactfully

I honestly think Radford is being paid by Neil Hudgell !!'

I am certain information from fans comments is passed to Pearson but it would do no harm if you send him a link to this forum.
He also needs reminding that he promised us attractive attacking rugby under Radford.Ask him what happened to that and a direct question Is he still satisfied with the job Radford is doing as head coach of this club regarding the teams performance on the field.
We are not interested that he is good with stats and keeps a tidy desk.

Pearson changed his email address a few days before the game. Thats a fact.

I won't be going anywhere near the Challenge Cup game, no matter if we win next week or the week after.

Get f&king rid of the broken toothed time-waster. He sounds utterly clueless in post-match conferences.

Remember this from last October?

No, I recall this every year since 2006.

That email from AP is absolute drivel.

That is just a sales pitch to get extra season pass sales. Thankfully living in Oz means I cabt buy a pass but if I had one I'd mail it back to AP or nail it to door of our training facility.

I'll put money in it that LR will never be a successful SL coach. Once he eventually gets the boot, name me 1 club that would take on his services. I really want to know what he whispered into APs ear to get PG the sack.

Club Hull.......? Club Fail

What e mail address did you use or have?

Here's an idea: If Radford is so brilliant at the behind the scenes stuff, give him the CEO job and hire a proper coach, because the number 1 priority for the coach should be on the pitch and we're clearly s**t at that.

Good idea.

In my line of work the only way to deal with an incompetent manager is to keep promoting them until they can't do any more damage. Its called the Dilbert Principle.

Radford was a mediocre player, got promoted to bad captain, then became awful assistant coach, then disastrous head coach. The guy is a natural born CEO.

Maybe time to give Radders the CEO job and give Andy Last a shot at head coach?

That statement by Pearson is the biggest work of fiction to come out of this club in a long while


Or is it the case that Pearson and/or indeed the players wouldn't allow Gentle to change things..period

Depends. Doesn't say it's on a higher level.

We got Sean Rush on board to deal with fitness, now in his second season.

Oh and he used to be conditioner at City when AP was there

You're joking , right? You missed off the

?
He's a common denominator more so than Radford. He's one of the reasons that AP can't sack Radford , there'd be no point if Last was to come in. And then who is there? Horne. Another one who knows nothing other than mediocrity in Hull and has no experience of the wider World. How is Andy Last going to be credible when setting out his ideas to Minichello , Ellis , Pryce , Sa et al? Better to sack Last and spend on an attack coach/new assistant/rugby advisor call them what you like but someone with experience and influence that could just maybe drag this season out of the fire and provide a bit of impetus and positivity to spark the players into life.

You would think that doing lots of strength and conditioning work is a good thing, the more the better. At least we will be fit and strong.

This couldn't be further from the truth, there is a fine tipping point were you begin to get weaker and impair your fitness if to much of the same style of training is carried out. This to me looks exactly like FC at the moment. They clearly don't spend a lot of time on attacking drills and creative play, so the theory must be lets make them the biggest, strongest and fittest in the league. Unfortunately they are non of those things, likely because they are doing so much of it they are over training in specific areas, remember during the season you have to factor the impact of games in as well.

If anyone knows the strength and conditioning team at FC, ask a very simple question of them. Are any of the players this week able to lift or improve their one rep maximum on any of the major compound lifts. If not then serious questions should be asked.

Something tells me Cas may be his last game, no proof, just a hunch and a hope
if we get kicked out of the cup by our balls being strung up on the fence which is a possibility right now i believe Pearson will be simply embarrassed into action , I can only hope he takes the support coaches out with the same shot

agree we need a clearout, although to be fair horny seems to be doing a good job for the u19s
