Ha ha, joke.

Pretty much my take on the Radford point, I reserve judgement on the decision to bring Cooke in though.

this

If he's lost the dressing room, no. '[iHas[/i he lost it and if so, why?' are the critical questions, particularly the latter one, as the answer to this will give Pearson the clues he needs for his overhaul of the first team set-up.

If Gentle hasn't lost the players, which looks doubtful, his sacking could be throwing the baby out with the bathwater at this stage.

Is Humberside still claiming AP hasn't made his mind up on Gentle, yet?

first off if radford is a good coach (defensive)how come we shipped 76 points last week? . secondly if adam has given judas cooke a job i will never ever set foot in the kc or spend any of my cash on fc until he is history. kear on a one year rolling contract for me (performance related )

Attitude, not ability. Are therein lies the biggest problem.

Totally agree, however for me Radders has been part of the coaching set up so I am not sure what evidence there is to suggest he can change that problem.

still reflects on his ability to get the best out of the team. as a number 2 got no probs with him if the new head coach is agreable

Exactly. Particularly if he's part of the problem. I'm very worried Gentle was left high and dry in the last month or so of the season by those who should be most loyal to him.

Well it all looks positive to me. When Gentle was appointed we all went mental about how great it was going to be (me included) and its not turned out as we had predicted. So all the negativity towards the rumoured incoming team can only be a good thing I reckon.

Exact same thing happened with Agar, the lads all liked him (suppose it is easier for the 2nd in command to build that buddy relationship).

They may all like Radders now & indeed decide to play for him, however once any-thing goes wrong & he has to become a leader and it upsets one of them the same boil will re-emerge!
Lots of people saw Radders down Prinny Ave last night with several players, & I believe he was in Blackpool with them, O'Meleys wife put on f/book that he had been on a 3 day bender. Not the best start for a head coach of a SL club, very much what a National Conference League team do and that is exactly what Radders was.
Radders was trainer until Hay parted company a few months ago it was only then that Radders stepped up to 2nd in command so in essence he has even less experience than most on here are claiming.

So we have another players revolt to support their drinking buddy getting the job ?

The number 2 coach who must carry much of the blame for performances ?

Judas ?? FFS the man should not be allowed near the club - he damaged us massively for several years.

Local talent ? Oh yes cos Superleague & the NRL are littered with Hull born stars...............aren't they ?

And we dont want any more aussies cos they get paid the big bucks & behave more professionally.

I suggest we keep PG and show the door to those causing this unrest - players & coaches. Give the man a chance - he must be amazed at such an outrageous coup perhaps succeeding. A bit like the French revolution this - will we drive out Miller, Holdsworth & McDonnell as part of the purge ?

Absolutely gutted & at times like this I really hate being an FC fan - it really shouldn't be this hard.

IF predictions come true I will withdraw to my Premier Sports NRL next year - light years ahead of the SuperLeague poop.

Come on AP do the right thing - biggest decision you will ever make at FC.s

Let us not forget the Crookes court case when Radders was cited as sending 23 txts to the girls father, no idea what all that was about!! maybe he was trying to help out one of the lads but to be quite honest I would want my head coach taking a different course of action!

If any other club in Super League (or even the top half of the championship) had a head coach's vacancy, does anyone seriously think they'd be considering Radford for the post? We need to get the best man for the job, and not select a candidate based primarily on the postcode they happened to be born in.
