If it's true, he shouldn't even be the assistant.

Don't want Radford to be our next coach but don't see why people are jumping on his back either. IF and it is an IF he has got together with the players and orchestrated it so Gentle gets sacked then it may be for a major reason. Maybe all the players are massively disillusioned with Gentle and the way he seems to be taking the club forward, training methods, tactics, new players etc and they realised they had to do something to get him removed?

IF and its a big IF that's true then surely they should have gone to McRae or Pearson to express their concerns rather than cheating the fans by putting in performances like that on Thursday night.

You couldn't make it up! .......Oh, hang on a minute.......

My eyesight is failing me then as I'm pretty sure I saw him at work yesterday after 5pm. My colleague said he had seen him earlier as well (He arose in a conversation as we were talking about Gentle leaving you guys and he mentioned he had seen him).

It's not their place to 'do something to get him removed', it's their place to play as well as they possibly can as per the terms of their contracts.

There are ways of doing this, and it's not on the pitch where it es in the face of the fans, undermines their own professional credibility and hits the owner in the pocket possibly causing an adverse affect on the future of the club that pays them. The way to do it is via honest communication between the senior players and McRae in the first instance, Pearson if that doesn't work. Radford, as the assistant coach to Gentle, should also be a body the players can express their concerns to, and even send those concerns upwards. But the moment he aligns himself with them [iagainst[/i Gentle, is the moment he undermines his own position in the coaching set-up and the moment Pearson should become very wary indeed. If, of course, any of this has actually happened.

Your way, Seb, is the way to anarchy and chaos. And also has apparently happened in the past, when it didn't work then either, as we are clearly where we are now for a reason.

He wasn't talking about the impact on our cap, he was talking about the amount of money involved.

Thats good to know, he isnt at Blackpool.

I'm not 100% to be clear (I do use glasses) but I was serving another customer and I looked up and thought 'Oh look it's Radford, Shouldn't he be in Blackpool?' (I saw it mentioned before I left for work yesterday).
I was just adding to the conversation that there is a very good chance he isn't in Blackpool so there is a chance he and Pearson haven't made quite such a blunder (If it happens) as is thought.

Im only suggesting a scenario and not saying its what happened. Besides McRae is Gentles mate so the players may be uneasy grassing on someone to the guilty partys mate. Again just a scenario and if so id agree its very wrong that they would do this in order to remove the coach at the owners and fans expense

I go away for the weekend and all hell breaks loose. Was it April 1st while I was away?

The conspiracy theory nutjobs are certainly in full swing mode.

Because people want success. To have long term success you need a stable environment.

I understand what your point in a way but in the sports I watch more emphasis has being put on defence which obviously takes away your energy for attack.

That's a good one McRae is gentles mate. Are you sure about that, would you like to phone a friend

There's was a great conspiracy theory surrounding the Bulldogs and a players wife. We haven't had anything like that yet.

I've heard all the players have fallen out with Whiting cause of his success with the horses and the love the fans have for him. He wasn't injured on Thursday, the players wouldn't let him on the bus cause he smelt of horse .

I heard this as well so it must be fact. I heard they told him to go shower and while he did they drove off. Redford was driving and Pearson was the conductor.

Pearson not made his mind up about parting company with Gentle yet, according to Gwilym Lloyd on RH just now.

Robert Redord? Now that is an interesting twist!

Like he'd know!

Brett unlocked his front door after a strenuous mornings training to find his wife, Roseanne, naked and being smeared in Deep Heat by his teammate and fellow countryman, the [iOgre[/i.
The half-back, in turmoil, grabbed a bottle of Marthas Vineyard from the fridge freezer and gunned his car wrecklessly towards the Humber.
Sandy O'meley, oblivious to the ongoing drama was quietly going about her business, doing the weekly shop at Aldis Hessle.
As she pushed her fully laden trolley across the car park she was screaming,, 'Hull FC are a fooking sham of a club' to alarmed fellow shoppers, and anyone else who was prepared to listen!
Meanwhile........

If correct, quite right too. The longer there is no statement from the club, the more I think Gentle may be staying.

I'm gonna throw another little conspiracy in the mix now: if as has been reported on here, James Clark has left the club, I wonder if his swift departure had anything to do with what and to whom he may have communicated?

Hmm wonder how everyone will feel if Gentle actually hasn't been sacked and HDM have done their usual and taken a rumour of here and ran with it.

I missed that too. No tweets from KCCLARKY since Friday morning

That's no conspiracy. Names please!
