I've always said as long as the clubs putting the effort in I'll support them and you cannot accuse AP and LR of not. Good interview as always.

He is pretty scathing about Peter Gentle and his ability as a head coach and using that as mitigation for this season and the mess that Radford is having to clean up. Well that "mess" was 2 x 6th place finishes and a CC final. Just saying.

Having said that AP as always comes across really well and generally isn't afraid to answer a question. Let's hope we are heading in the right direction this time after so many false dawns.

And the next coach could well have an even bigger mess to clear up

Yup, 5 more passes here for 2015.

No-one can deny Adam's desire for success. It will come.

Look at his clothes they're so lovely

AP knew what he was talking about, and from what ive heard from him always knows what hes talking about.

thought it was a great interview, as said above, you can see his passion for the club, the desire and his aims.

long term plan yes, so maybe we should just stand up sing along and enjoy the ride under AP, LR and co, as I think if anyone is going to bring back the glory days, it will be pearson.

Can't help but feel Pearson is trying to deflect some heat off Radford by saying these things. He's probably correct that Gentle was a better assistant than head coach. However, there was no mess to clean up. We had a few embarrassments during his reign, but on the whole I felt he did a good job and helped to lay the foundations for what will hopefully be a successful future. I don't really like Adam talking that way about what he achieved tbh.

In recent weeks there appears to be definite signs of improvement. So hopefully Radford is learning from the mistakes he has made and can go on to be a really good coach. However you can't argue that this year (so far) is better than what Gentle got out of an arguably weaker squad.

No mess? What about the lucrative deals to bang average players? Take years or paid off to sort out. Gentle and bomber screwed us good.

I seem to recall exactly the same thing being said when Agar took over from Peter Sharp (who incidentally took us to the grand final and a 4th place finish).

Who signed the cheques?

"We are NOT a selling club".
"I've had enough of putting £500k in every year, this will be my last"
"Dobson's going nowhere".

Before you mention Emperor's, have a look at your own boardroom.

Theres certainly a mess! Macdonnall arundel pitts miller-300+k
shaul got his go on radfords pushing. Lineham got a go the same as gentle wanted to sign youngquest!
He assembled a small pack in the thinking small and mobile was the way and addmitted later he was wrong!
from early on ive been hearing 10out (wouldnt be suprised if more) that suggests mess!!

Got to admit he does come across really well. Lets hope some of the things hes saying come true

He'said Radford's his man and he isn't going anywhere.
Thought you and Knockersbump would be suicidal?

Ive never been a Radford hater. Ive said on a number off occasions that an experienced assistant alongside him (someone like Kear) would do him the world of good. I haven't been a massive fan of Pearson though as I think whilst he comes across well at times he is a bit full of and knows what to say in the right places which can come across a bit spinish. Forecasting were gonna win 7-8 of our remaining fixtures is a big ask and I wonder if he'll be held to account if this doesn't happen?

I must have missed where he said we WOULD, sounded a lot like COULD to me? (and it was a big IF)

Btw why do we need a new winger? Lineham and Talanoa with Lancaster as back up or is somebody leaving?

Rumours of Talanoa leaving although I can't see it. Lineham missing a lot of games every season and probably don't want to put too much pressure on Lancaster.

Rumour on Facebook it's Lancaster who could be off to the darkside as not on a full contract at FC

lancaster supports rovers. Shocking if we lose him now

Disappointing news.

Disappointing? If true then it's another amateurish error from the club to allow another promising youngster to walk away. I was told the other day he supports rovers so maybe it's true

Agreed, it's disappointing. He does support Rovers AFAIK. We have no wingers for next year according to the rumour mill. Lineham to Wigan. Lancaster to Rovers. Talanoa out. Yikes.

Can't see it being true TBH as pearson said it would never happen again when briscoe left for leeds so presume they must have put something in place to make sure promising youngsters don't just walk out on us

he signed a 2 yr deal at beginning of season
