Agree.

There isn't a nice way to sack someone but Adam Pearson did go out of his way to give respect to Radford and said several times that he took no pleasure in this at all.

I doubt that the next coach will get as much time & patience as Lee Radford got.

Hudgell offered Pearson a swap deal.
Tony Smith in exchange for Lee, and AP thought yeah....

Like what?

You'd have to be pretty thick to think what happened was a live on-air sacking.

Plenty of people did, it was even perpetuated by RH

Pearson clearly says that he'd had a discussion with Radford but people like George Riley (who admittedly knows all about sackings) jump onto Twitter wringing their hands claiming he'd been sacked live on TV.

Yep. But he didnt look angry or disappointed Pearson a bit shocked.
Good media management that interview.
Think the sacking had to happen...

Pearson's eyes were a bit watery. I felt his emotion.

Pearson in The Yorkshire Post

"To me, the chemistry between Lee and the side wasn’t there... some relationships in there could have been better."

No

Sanctimonious ehawks.

Indeed, it seems all parties behaved professionally, Lee was part of a setup that brought b2b Challenge Cups, that will never be forgotten. I am certain we all wish him the very best for the future, we all move on now.

All I have seen all over Twitter and Instagram is players saying how gutted Radford is leaving but what strikes me is they are all saying “Thanks mate, sorry mate, been my mate for years, yes mate, no mate” etc. shows the issue straight away IMO!

Yep theres a right little Radders cuddle crew going on on instagram - Shaul, Taylor, Houghton, Griffin - all saying bye to their 'mate' and three of those have been dog54it for quite a while - says it all really

Thought it was too comfy and too pally for a few of the local senior players for a while and think it has shown in the performances. From the off Radford when he took on the job had to seperate hinself from the player to Coach. The responses from players saying mate does say an awful lot unfortunately and whether intentional or not the lines got blurred and it does not look like a unified team themat are prepared to dig in for each other.

There seems to no real accountability for the players under Radfords tenure and certain players have managed to stay in the 17 despite their form not being as good as it should be.
