No surprise and a relief to Hull fans I reckon

Only just caught up with other thread. Turned the game off after it finished. Bad form to do it on telly

Robert Redford?

Robert?

Should of happened a while back.

He did not get sacked on TV, it just got announced albeit a bit quicker then it should be. Lee knew he was one bad performance from going.

Should have been at latest end of last season so we could have given a new coach a full pre season to work with.

Sky viewers knew before the players....shameful behaviour. Unless they were watching it in the dressing room....

and you know that, how?

Pearson himself said in the interview that the players were finding out at the same time as he was on air stoking his own ego.

It’s a shocking move from the Chairman of a big club that should know how to go about things with more dignity and professionalism.

The players should have put a stint in then. Been coming a while this.

no, he didn't, but hey ho.

Yes, he did

A few players will be following him I reckon, they've stole a wage for long enough.

Spare everyone the faux outrage about how the sacking was done. It was long overdue.

Maybe, but it was still crappy behaviour from a Leeds United director.

For all I didn't rate him (what do you expect from a HKR fan), he did guide the club to two challenge cup victories and had them in the top 6 for a lot of his tenure. However, is his record good enough for him to get a gig elsewhere?

I wonder if he fancies living in Ottawa?

You may be right but, isn't Radford FC's most successful coach in the SL era ?

I agree that most people would think that Hull should be doing better and regularly finishing in the top 4.
However, there are some good sides in the comp and nobody is going to move aside without a fight.

There are 8/9 sides with genuine top 4 aspirations and although FC's results do blow hot and cold they are certainly capable of winning trophies.
It wii be interesting to see how Wire's season goes, a club who have stuck with their coach, compared to Hull, who have swung the axe.

I'll gamble that Wire finish further up the table than Hull.

The way people are talking you'd think he's been sacked after a couple of bad games....
He's is Hulls second longest serving coach I think. He kept his job after a club record losing run, club record defeats. I think Pearson has been quite restrained in all honesty.

Wasn't it 2 years ago after we beat you that pearson came out and complained about the squad, and how he was going to invest majorly in it?

I'd say he's had a 2 year stay of execution.

Radford's been a dead man walking for a while now. A change will benefit him and Hull. My guess is his next club won't be a top side, more likely replace someone overseas or take over at an ambitious Championship side with some kind of budget to work with.

Im not sure he has the skills for that level. He's failed with good players and high spending.

It has confused me for about 15 years that a club with the potential of Hull hasn't found a world class coach to properly cement them as potential champions. For me they are the only club in our country that could remotely aspire to 30k gates (not every week). Radford is a grafter and probably a great bloke, but him being head coach at Hull always baffled me.
