Taxi for Chessy

Think most coaches would struggle with injuries and that squad.

Isn't this at least in some part Chester's fault, he chose the squad and didn't address problems they had with their pack. Also if you choose to sign players with bad injury records (Campese and Lunt etc) you reap what you sow.

And that Chairman

Isn't Mike Smith the guy who travels the world to sign players ? Was it Chessie's shopping list or someone else's? If it was Chesiie's then looking at their team strength overall he has fallen short.

Any make any money at the bookies? He was favourite to be sacked first

Didhe resigned or was he sacked

BBC website says sacked

Whoever takes over at rovers will have an uphill struggle to get them into the 8 with the squad they have, a fully fit a quad or not. Big part of the wage on 4 players meant they could only recruit poor or lower quality players

Who cares really

Gutted. If he'd stayed they would have been staring down the relegation hole

Wow. Imagine claiming you've just started yet another five year plan (glossing over the last failed one) so telling fans to take the long term view, then knee jerking into sacking your head coach a month into it. What a bag of spanners.

Imagine being so desperate that macnamara looks like a good option

Yeh We turned his offer down and went instead for Lee Radford.



Sitting back and looking at it I would be very, very surprised if they haven't got someone already lined up to take over, after Friday myself, otherwise why get rid before the weekend I think there will be an announcement next week myself!?

Reckon Garry Schofield will take over he gets on well with the bar stool announcer.

Radford amd Chester are the same level but completely differing circumstances, to infer as your shocked emoticon says that we would be any worse with Chester is in my honest opinion incorrect.
Chester never stood a chance quite honestly and exceeded expectations and did well to get them to Wembley.
He'd do well to get a job as an assistant under a top coach somewhere or even a championship club.
Personally I think the trend of players hanging their boots and getting a SL coaching job with a year or so is a mistake and not helping the standard of SL as a whole.

You can't resist can you Bumpy. The differing circumstances are due to actions that have been taken by the Hull management, Lee Radford included. The thread was about Chester but you obviously felt the need to put your little anti-Radford spin on it. Let it rest, Lee's here, he's doing a decent job at the minute and he's staying. You need to accept that.

Can't see him doing that roader

That's your interpretation of what I've said but clearly your adgenda twists your way of thinking.
I'm defending Chester, I'm also saying that players that come straight from playing and spend only a year or two as an assistant are not good enough or experienced enough to be SL coaches and in my opinion this has had a detrimental effect on the overall standard of SL.
IMHO that has being shown over the last few seasons including the likes of Paul Anderson and Keiren Cunningham.
If you perceive that as an attack on Radford that's up to you but it clearly isn't and as I have said already on other threads I am more than happy with the way things are and have added my praise of the coach, owner and players.
