The obvious difference is that I'm not making any claims precisely due to my lack of first hand knowledge. You deal in unsubstantiated tittle tattle all you like.'"
If someone who does have first hand experience of Radford's man management skills tells me his view of them, how is that "unsubstantiated tittle-tattle"?

There have been a number of extensions and signings recently. If the place was such a nightmare to work at players would be looking to get out not the other way around.'"
Or it could simply be its a much easier life at Hull FC than at other clubs on decent money to boot.
What we have seen this season on the field and peformances shows an awful lot of failings and does beg the question what is happening at training & how long they spent there. I must say i have seen groups of the players during the week at a local coffee shop mid afternoon before going home so you do start to question the stuff behind the scenes.
I do believe that Pearson has compounded the problems by employing Radford as head coach as we needed an experienced coach not one that is learning from his mistakes as he goes along. This i believe has lead in many ways to the apathy in performances we have seen this season. In the same way i would feel in my job &performance if i had a manager in charge who wasnt upto the task & learning as they went along.
I just see next season as another of abject failure under the current coaching set up & nothing i have seen throughout this season has given me any hope. We started with a very poor preseason & have not improved since. This for me speaks volumes about the chances of success under Radford.

Because you're reporting one person's unsubstantiated [iopinion[/i of Radford's man-management skills. What he says might be true, or it could be coloured by his particular relationship with Radford, or by any other of a number of personal biases that we all carry around.
While I expressed strong doubts in this area as soon as Radford was announced as coach, none of us have any [iproof[/i to substantiate our opinions.

No. We need proof to assert something as being a fact. An opinion is necessarily personal and subjective. If its genuinely and honestly held then its a valid opinion.

| Quote unknownlegend="unknownlegend"My friends daughter is dating one of our main players, obviously I did a bit of digging as to whats been going on. He says all the team are just playing really steady, not trying anything flamboyant or pushing themselves incase it does'nt come off because of the fear being dropped or bawled out by the coach. There are a number of players not happy with the present set-up.'"
Or maybe they are just not good enough?

| Well I asked a simple question about what was meant by "playing wise", and I just got a rant back which
a) didn't answer the question
b) involved personal abuse
Not really called for - some people need to grow up !
So I ask the ONE simple question again - what does KnockersBump mean by "playing wise" ? I just don't get it, as Radford isn't actually playing any more.

So if it was Shaul he would say radders man management is good...Crooks or Pitts would obviously tell it different...so realistically different views all round from the squad I reckon....
