I know rugby players aren't renowned for their intelligence, but surely they can all understand 5 plods (I refuse to call them drives unless it's Ellis, Mini, Watts or Paea on the ball) and a high kick with no one chasing?

Jesus wept reading that we as a club a royally being bummed by both AP & Radford. Has AP actually got any grip on reality??? I thought he was a sensible man but the longer this utter farce goes on the less I think he has any clue what so ever.
He should be as angry with the Coach as he is with players!!!
Just don't understand his logic in firing a Coach who got us to Wembley and 2 x 6th place finishes as the perfomances weren't deemed good enough (even though Radford was an assistant) yet steadfastly backs a Coach that has got no where near that and is taking us down quicker than the Titanic.
We are well and truly FUBAR'd

Wasn't there rumoured to be the same problems with Gentle regarding the way we play, not understanding it & not wanting to play for him. I don't think Radford is up to the job but if this is the case of player power & not playing for him then how many coaches are we going to go through before they find one they don't mind?

| Pearson is letting personal pride cloud his judgement.
He dug his heels in so hard about Radford he knows he looks a fool now if he sacks him.
As a successful business man I would have thought he would be able to make those difficult decisions?
No point no anyway, season is over, hopefully he will do what's needed during the break. Regardless of where we finish we won't be relegated, I'm confident of that, but like every year for the last 8 it's now about next season.
If he gives Radford next season, I fear by round 7 we will be in a dogfight again.

They are contractors who should play to the best of their ability. If they don't it's partly the Coach's fault and partly their own lack of professionalism. I suppose at least we did better at Leeds that Saints did.

Would be lower number than that. Houghton, sneyd, shaul and westerman would not be bought by a top four side

If all these players were available on a free, there would be lots of interest from top 4 teams for all of these players.

| I've been reflecting on this interview for a while before posting as I found it to be quite strange. I know that Adam is a businessman who has no real emotional connection to the club and that all his decisions have to be viewed in this light.
What I can't understand is his continuing insistence that it's all down to the players, fans, him, and that LR is absolved of any Blame.
Sure, he may be reluctant to sack him due to financial pressure but there comes a point (and IMPO we have passed it) that it becomes a sensible business decision to put him on gardening leave and appoint a new coach, no matter what the financial situation. Otherwise he stands to lose more in lost revenue than he would from sacking LR.
It just doesn't make rational sense.

I know its not my business before you tell me,but this season is the team radford built,last season it seems he was excused because it wasnt his team,but which other clubs including rovers,would have accepted mediocracy over such a long period of time.The worrying part for you,is the fact pearson seems to be alone in not recognising the gravity of the situation.I feel it is the time to hold his hand up to the fans and say sorry I have got it wrong and try to put it right,instead of blindly backing radford.

A sensible post in my opinion,which epitomises what a lot of our fans feel.

Before the game he looked pretty cross but I didn't look during. He cleared off pretty quick at the end too. Normally he has a chat with a few but had gone by the time I went inside. Good to see Dowesy there though.
