I wonder if AP has forgotten that we have relegation next season.

Looking around I can see us in a battle with London, Wakey, Widnes & Bradford to stay up.

He's taken a big chance appointing an amateur coach, fans will turn quickly on Radford.

Discipline I can see the point of, but fear? Is that really what he said?

Do you think Gentle brought in all his players?

Agar?

Some RL clubs have followed the soccer route.

Des Hasler has nothing to do with his recruitment! Noel Cleal does it all for him.

He was impressed with the way Di Canio went about embracing the harmony within the Sunderland squad.

That was why I asked the question.
Edit- It's on your website that he did say it.

Yes, we are all pleased to hear that. Unfortunately I think you're lying

Those names bring back memories.

We've had some great players play for our club.

Seriously???



Good bit of business by AP though, getting Radders to sign on the dotted line without paying him

Hes too busy blessing people

I said it was a cheap signing didn't realise it was that cheap

You wont walk away it's in your blood otherwise you wouldn't waste your time posting on here.

If the club talks about Top 4 and marquee signing this pre-season, and all the spin that comes with it, a lot of people will be leaving though.

I do unfortunately.

But that's if we go with what we've got, I'm hopeful our recruitment improves (Paea aside), and we see another 2/3 players come in.

"I need a leader who people naturally look up to and who can instill a little bit of discipline and fear, get some consistency into our play and make sure the team turns up every week and not when it particularly wants to. It’s very important that the leader sets that tone and I think Lee has those qualities."

I'd say in context that the use of the fear word by AP here is more about shaking things up regarding the players attitudes.

By walk away he means he's dropping Sky Sports.
