Him and the owner believe he's doing a great job so no way will he walk

Contract extension please,doing a great job,even if your not winning at least your playing attractive rugby and entertaining.

If we lose both games over Easter surely Pearson will see there is no future with Radders?

Rdford
Last
Horne

not exactly the brains trust of SL

He won't walk, no sane person would, you'd wait for the axe and the big payoff. Some players will think the same, why quit HullFC when Pearson will pop along with a cheque to get rid of you soon, I bet Arundle laughed all the way to Wakefield at how he got a ridiculous salary and then money to leave!

If we get beat on Thursday which I believe will happen, Lee has to look at himself, and concede he is not upto the job. as for Adam Pearson action will have to be taken one way or another, because it is his club, if we carry on like this the attendance will crumble next season, and Adam will be pleading with us to buy our passes and get behind the team, alas I fear by then it will be too late. We have a not that successful an amateur league coach, and an under 21 assistant in charge of our team and it is not working.

Salford just brought Tim Sheens in to help there young coach, maybe something that AP should look into?

Radford is the 21st century version of Len Casey.At least Casey realised he wasnt upto the job and quit.

As pointed out, why would he quit? It would have to be a mutually agreed decision with no further comment from either party, thus saving Pearson the embarrassment of going back on his word.

Don't know how true it is but I've been told a lot of the younger players dislike radford as he isn't averse to balling them out. Doesn't try it with the established players even if they need it

The quote in the Mail fro Andy Last says it all



We have a weak, inexperienced coaching set up who think tactics are them little white mints.

I'd like to know if radford thinks he's doing a good job . The full club is stale , the team , the coaching set up , the fans , everything . Only way to change this is have a full clear out of the coaching side , and if we do , who ever we appoint needs to be correct instead of making the same mistakes we have for years . This local hull thing will only work if the people are good enough . It seems to me Pearson isn't bothered if they are , as long as there from hull .

I think rumours around that theme are fairly common. Like you say, don't know how much truth they have to them.

What happened to the arm round the shoulder approach I wonder?

Said from day one the man-management of his former teammates and friends would always be an issue. Is with any newly promoted manager within the same department.

"Arm around the shoulder" and "treating all fairly in accordance with their efforts and performance" were always going to fly out of the window when things got tough. When necks are on the block one tends to stick to 'tried and tested' and keep friends close.
