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?

This is what I am saying, the one with the whistle barking out the orders on a training ground, is he better just because he has an accent? Or is it his calibre of players? Wane,McDermott & Anderson are all doing well with the clubs they're at, as Maguire did well at Wigan, but put any of them at London & see how well they go?

Why don't you change the record.

I will when you do

I'm not even getting into this over & over again, In your eyes if ever I post on any topic, I'm defending Radders? I was saying about homegrown players/coaching staff should be given a crack at it more often, rather then having a quick fix, (import).

I just reflect what you post, we give plenty of young players a chance.

RL IS A RESULTS BASED BUSINESS, is it not?

Yeah but without English players/coaching staff we won't have a competition, but you know everything don't you? Put it this way who would you want as your scrum half next season, Jacob Miller or Marc Sneyd? Not much difference in age, but Sneyd can kick, boss a team around the pitch, & he can change a game, the other talks funny.

Your totally wrong here, he owes a pub he doesn't run the pub.

I own a car but I don't spend all my time under the bonnet, I get someone else to do that for me but I do spend 5 minutes a week checking the air and water and I still find time to work full time in my real job.

nationality and ability are not linked.

But it's a results based business isn't it? But we both know with Miller playing we won't get many good results. you do talk tripe now & again buddy.

Is there actually anything you like about fc ?

I like the walk from Walton st car park!

Are you forgetting he was there? They finished 4th from bottom in all of his full seasons.

It's possibly a chicken and egg issue, but answer this: Who was the last British coach to have real success in SL without it being on the back of an overseas coach's groundwork? The 3 you pick out are all doing well, but they hardly took over poor squads, did they? 2 of them took over teams who had won the GF in the last 2 seasons.

And you can't separate the calibre of players from the calibre of coach, it's a symbiotic relationship.
