| Yes - if you hover over it, it says "Post", and in IE right click gives me the option to copy shortcut.

| You said I read your question as an "accusation", and my reply was "defensive". If that's how you interpret responses to such a simple question, then you really need help.

Another breach of the AUP, when will you people be held to account?
I bet you would never question someone's mental state to their face?

| Anyway back on topic.
My answer is no.
A club like Hull operating at full cap with a good fan base deserves more from a coach then Radford has delivered.
If coaches could be dual registered similar to injured players or players not performing then Radford would have found himself at a league 1 club if he was lucky imo.
We all know his faults, they have been well documented on here and discussed to death. I don't see how he will or can change things around. He does not instill me with confidence and I think another season with him in charge will be yet another wasted season, I would however like to be proved wrong.
I've decided I will not renew my pass or take leave from work to attend all our home games and some of our away games next season such is the effect Radford and the team performances has had on me. I'm not happy with my decision and am wavering but the disappointment and frustration of last season has had a big bearing on me.
I will still attend as a paying customer as and when I can now, as no longer as a pass holder will I feel compelled as a chore to attend games.
Like I said I want a pass, feel awful for not renewing but not sharing Adam's faith here so will not waste my time and as much money.

| My answer is I don't know.
I'm willing to give him 2015 to see if he can get us pointed in the right direction.
Plenty of posters who don't think he's the man have relevant concerns.
The small handful who obviously despise the current set-up I find to be churlishly detrimental and a little bit sad.

Sums up my thoughts. Some positives (promotion of youth, dealing average players on big contracts set up by predecessor, recruiting genuine halves), some negatives (lack of attacking structure, support runners, speed of PTB, blunt man management). Let's see how it pans out in the early season, mithering endlessly has no impact on anything but your own well being, it certainly won't impact AP's position on Lee Radford in the short term.

| For me it always seemed like a bit of a short sighted appointment, in a way that Spurs seem to operate in football with coaches/managers. People saying that Pearson believes fully in Radford, I'm not so sure he's not just putting his trust in the trends that have worked well recently in SL. Before Gentle was appointed clubs had sucess with appointing coaches who had worked as Assistants in the NRL, Micheal Maguire being the main one at Wigan. Us, Rovers and Catalans etc followed suit with Gentle, Robinson and Sandercock. With Gentle deemed not to be successful, we went the other opposite direction in appointing a no nonsense type British forward, which had served clubs like Huddersfield with Anderson, Wigan with Wane and Leeds with McDermott well amongst others while we struggled under Gentle, I'm not sure AP has seen something that special in Radford in particular, more likely that he fits the profile.

It makes me laugh when people say Aussies make the best coaches, I wonder if Maguire would have gone on to do a superb job at London or Wakey? With no disrespect to the two clubs, but the town of Wigan has & always will produce some of the best players to play in SL, no matter who's coaching them, McDermott & Wane & Anderson are doing a half decent job, maybe the game needs less imports in all departments for home grown talent to get a chance, & prove that they're good enough.

I think that is the last laugh, ears is clearly a better coach than any of them.

HAven't you just made yourself laugh with that comment. Would McDermott, Wane or Anderson have done a superb job at Wakey or London (one of those has been answered).
I suppose you can look at Brown at Hudds (Smith had some bearing on that) and Powell at Cas as examples of doing a superb job.
There is very little proof of an British assistant with no 1st team experience taking an under performing club and turning them into winners. For me they need a term in lower league rugby then the step up to SL.
I actually think Radford will do ok for you next year, Top 6ish which is probably as much as you can ask for.

don't be silly, professional RL coaches with a single focus fall short of someone who runs a pub. FC finished a mighty 11th, don't you know?
