I told a couple of people that 2 weeks ago Ma'u and Satae had gone to Pearson asking to leave

To me, Radford’s problem was he followed the Bradford model from when he was a player. Big players all over the pitch but when that stopped working, he, like Bradford has no plan B.

I always had a feeling about Ma’u and his thoughts on our training techniques. How true is it that both players named did actually go to ask for a release?

I’ve heard Radford nutted Albert Kelly after the game

Yeah right.

Can Liam watts come back now?

Absolute class mate, the moon is made of cheese as well. Pearson was bang out of order in my opinion imo. Lee Radford whatever his failings deserved better than that...

Once again totally wrong, had a conversation with Radders, Radders agreed to depart, then went to Andy Last and told him he was taking temp charge then went outside and explained to Sky and us.

So get it right.

Ultimate respect to Pearson for what personally must have been a difficult choice.
As he alluded too though the chemistry wasn't right between the coaching team and players and that was clearly evident tonight.
Right decision has finally been made for the good of the club.
I was so ecstatic when I heard the news and so relieved that this mess has finally been brought to an end.
I see the usual suspects are conspicuous by their absence now, hard to defend Lee and criticise those of us that wanted change now isn't it.

the most telling comment for me was...

"what do you think the players think of the decision"

"I'm not sure they earnt the right to have one"...

Would love that.

The smokescreen of criticism of AP from other clubs fans smells to me of them being afraid of what we can do with a decent coach.
AP is passionate and shoots from the hip, like it or lump it.
I’m sure Radford has been equally circumspect with players in the past (I.e. the sacking of Watts)

Reading these comments I’m embarrassed to be a Hull fan.

WhatsApp screenshots flying around, made it all the way to sunny Widnes haha. Apparently he had, let’s say an altercation with Kelly.

Instantly sacked.

There will be a few players under pressure now, and hopefully that alone will boost performances temporarily.

For example Fash is clearly a Radford favourite, but id say his reviews are at best mixed, a new coach may have a rethink on if he is needed.

Then youve got a few long term servers who arent hitting the heights they did before such as Shaul, Sneyd, Houghton and Taylor, can a new coach get these back in form or will they freshen it up.

I feel the squad is capable of better and all of the recent recruits have been good, but a few players have got to put some improved performances if they want to stay for next season.

after tonight ive no grumbles, sad news though and thanks lee for some fantastic memories, maybe it was time for a change but he will always be the man who gave us the holy grail, cheers lee and good luck

Hope not. He should have been sacked because his failings as a coach had long since been exposed, not because he kicked off once.

Indeed, our most successful coach in decades. Let's hope the new guy can top his achievements.

I've seen the What'sApp messages, seems the player the rumour came from said it in jest, or has realised that it's gone everywhere and is back tracking!

Hull Daily Mail reporting that the club dont have anyone lined up, unlike the last two sacking wheres Gentle and Radford were already lined up.

Albert Kelly has just put on Instagram that the stories are fake news and he actually gave Radders a hug and thanked him

Yeah some kid on a Hull Dockers group chat made it up and told everyone that Bowden told him

At last
I have always said we should name a stand after him and fair enough
Time to move on
The bookys weren’t wrong we’re they ???

To be fair, the bookies had us down as evens last night. They couldn't have got it more wrong!
