I really hope that our current failings are not down to players not wanting to play for Radford. As much as I never wanted him appointed and would love to see the back of him, the club cannot continue to let player power rule. If rumours are to be believed that is what saw off Kear,Agar and Gentle.

At the end of last season we were told the players didn't want to play for Gentle. Now we are told they don't want to play for Radford. Who the hell do they want to play for? Maybe it's time for a tough no nonsense coach in the style of Wane who tells them how it's going to be and doesn't ask them whether players who have been loaned out should be allowed to play against them.

This. We need to stop doing it on the cheap with head coaches. Spend big on coach and reap the rewards

Strange how opinions become facts within a couple of posts.

Who said it was a fact?

Well you did, for a start.

When people talk about a coach losing the dressing room and the players don't want to play for him I always think it's rubbish. They maybe don't respect Radford but these guys are professional players and they want to win for the fans, their team mates and most importantly themselves. They aren't just going to stop trying because they don't like the coach. However there may well be an element of the players deciding they don't agree with what Radford is saying so they all do their own thing instead, which would explain the shambles that is our attacking structure.

If only it was that simple. Sport is littered with coaches/managers who having been successful at a club move on and cannot repeat that success.

Cant remember last time, we appointed a successful Head Coach before.

maybe... because they had no experience.

I was merely commenting on this statement. "Employ a proven first team coach, - everything else will fall into place". If FC appointed a proven head coach it would improve the chances of success, not guarantee it as the quote suggests.

Er no I didn't. I said "now we are told". How is that an assertion of fact? I was merely commenting on what another poster had said.

Sorry, but when an opinion... becomes it sounds like fact to me.

The fact is that semantics should play no part in this.

Move on....

we had a decent coach, some of the players stopped playing because he was being undermined by the encumbant and a couple of kn0bheads on the playing rosta.
Radford won't be able to garner ANY respect from the players because he's shown he has no morals and is a lying backstabber.
I'd rather prefer someone within the club to show a bit of backbone and name and shame those behind what happened at Huddersfield and the binning off of Gentle.
Get Pearson to admit he made a hash of employing Radford, get shot of them (including Andy Last for me as well) then we can start afresh.

The club is in a shocking position and it needs someone with a pair of boll0cks to get the club cleansed..starting with the cancer that is Radford, nothing else will do IMO.

So you have all the inside information then about what is going on inside the club except the names of the miscreants at Huddersfield. How come this vital bit of information has escaped you ?
