Quote: Bombed Out "I'll think you'll find Andy that you're sadly mistaken.
Radford is bullet proof, bomb proof and would probably survive a nuclear explosion.

I sent a similar e mail to him yesterday and got this response ;

Thanks **** your comments are noted...the gates are low and it is costing me money ...I do wish sometimes that the supporters would allow the coach and team time to develop but obviously thats not the case...

The coach continues to have my support so unfortunately I cant grant you your wish at present..the team actually needs your support at times like these but I suppose that only happens at clubs when they go into administration these days.

Genuinely sorry you are not happy..by all means organise a boycott if you want to bankrupt your club as trust me there aren't a queue of solvent people trying to buy a rugby club..

Sometimes in life the goings tough and you have to support ...whether it be a coach or your club.

Hopefully you will return when we are winning..although im surprised the catalsn game was the one to stop you coming...

Adam Pearson

So it would seem complacency has set in and that fans are being taken for granted something he said he would not let happen when I spoke to him prior to the start of this season.
He has no intention of getting rid of this inept coach.'"


Reads like a bit of a dummy spit IMO.

As for the allowing time comment, the truth is a little inconvenient. The further into a coach's tenure you get, the more it is about them and less the situation they inherited. It has to be. It's not just that we're not giving Radford time to bring about the necessary improvement, the further we get into the Radford era, the stats do show that we are we're actually still getting worse, particularly in attack:

Winning %:
2014 - 37%
2015 - 36%

Average points scored:
2014 - 24
2015 - 17

Effectively, that's 2 scores worse!

Total points scored in comparison to rest of SL:
2014 - 8th out of 14
2015 - 12th out of 12

Defence is slightly better, but more worrying is that whilst last year there was much pointing to our positive points difference as evidence that we were better than our league position suggested, that has now gone. To me, this shows that the decline in our attack is outstripping our improvement in defence. We were promised attacking, exciting rugby, that's where I think most people are most disappointed/angered. It's not just a sulk because we are losing games, we're fed up of paying to watch dull, repetitive 'rugby' that is less entertaining than you can see in the local park. There's a saying in sport that the way a team plays is a reflection of the coach's philosophy, and it appears that ours is 'defence is King' when the main job Radford was charged with was supposedly to make us more attacking. We've actually regressed.

Maybe Adam hasn't come across the law of diminishing returns. I'm amazed that he seems content to let his investment wither away due to his own stubbornness. Pride doesn't pay the bills and an admission of his mistake in appointing Radford will go a long way to regaining the confidence and support of the supporters.

If pearson wants to be in charge of a championship club then that's up to him but I won't be going to watch them. I was going to pen an email but I'm sure I'd just get a copied and pasted response along the lines of that one above. Shame, as I genuinely thought pearson would bring us some success but it seems he's blind to what is happening in front of him.

If he can't be 4rsed then, I'm afraid, neither can I

Really? You'd stop going to watch a club you support because they don't play in the top league?

Quote: Faithful One "Really? You'd stop going to watch a club you support because they don't play in the top league?'"



I will if that's because the owner is too stubborn to sack an inadequate coach. I've watched us since the late 70's so 2 spells in the lower leagues but that was because we were skint, playing in a run down stadium in front of small crowds. No excuse for it now

Quote: "The club hasnt had sustained success for a long long time..do we just keep changing coaches until we find the elixir..or do we try and give one the time and resources to build a club and team.'"


That was what Pearson said in his e-mail to me. I just can't help thinking that this is rich after the immediate sacking of Peter Gentle after one big loss... I know Gentle wasn't an amazing coach but doesn't the stats show he did better in his time than Lee has in his?

I would agree with him if the general trend was upwards but under radford it's getting worse. If there were even a glimmer of light at the end of teh tunnel he'd get my support but we're so poor and declining that there is no prospect we're ever going to turn the corner

The sad thing is, IF we beat Salford on Friday and get the much needed 2 points he'll be safe again. I personally won't be happy unless there is a 30 points winning margin, because more than anything else I feel the team needs to find a ruthlessness about them. Adam needs to show his ruthlessness and get rid.

He might be happy throwing his money away but many fans are normal working people with limited incomes. If people do not get value for money and are unhappy they will cease to go to the games. So AP thinks we should put up and keep investing in his idea of how a rugby league club should be run. Well by the comments on here for well over a year it is becoming quite cleR that even the most ardent fans are reaching the end of thier tether.
