To reconcile respect with practicality, what is the optimum speed for a hearse?

Sort it out or sell up, 4 years of massive disappointment and its getting worse by the week. Ran out of patience, enough of the hype, prove your worth as the owner of this club.

I seem to recall 6th place and a cup final in that period, but then the coach got sacked so I suppose you have a point.

Im sure most of us would like to go back to the Gentle era with the benefit of hindsight, but let's not forget Pearson promised Top4, international signings and trophies when he took over and has failed.

Re: Adam Pearson: Save this club! : Wed Jul 01, 2015 11:03 pm  
i stopped counting how much ive spent supporting and following the club this season, season pass £255, shirt £50, around £220-30 on away tickets so far, £35 club coach travel to newcastle, £15 to sheffield, around £200-250 petrol money and match programmes, finally £500+ going to catalan, even though it was a holiday we base it around the game, usa 2017 for me now!

about a £1000 thrown down the drain believing promise after promise

no more now! after the 23 rounds i'll just be attending the home games be it bottom 4 which seems most likely, or top 8

unless radford goes the club wont get anymore money from me

Who's to say Top 4 etc wouldn't have happened if Gentle hadn't been booted out (and the rumours are pretty poor about why that was). AP has let himself be guided by others too much which is part of the reason for the failure.

Not counted properly but

£495 pass
£130 on shirts and kit
£70 train to Newcastle
£40 on Magic tickets
£200 approx on tickets
£200+ on petrol as every game is "away"

As I've said on Twitter, better things to spend my time and money on unless there's an improvement. It's more annoying because we have good times and then we have tonight. :WALL:

I agree. I'd also add that in hindsight some of the Gentle/McRae signings that have been much maligned aren't any worse than what we've replaced them with. Players like Arundel, Miller, Lynch, Pitts probably weren't going to win us trophies, but they aren't any worse than what Radford's brought in, and we could have saved a load of cash not paying them off.

Other clubs have grafters who do well, yet we seem to be after big names and then lack the ability or will to get them playing well every game.

Those 4 were never world beaters but were ok. I'm sure Miller hated every minute tonight. Nearly beat us on his own

I'm still clinging to the faint hope that Pearson knows deep down that he's messed up and has just been trying to save face and hope that we perform reasonably well (ie scrape into the 8) and Radford sees his contract out without having to pay him off. And that his investment in the youth system bears fruit to save the day.

But I am now wondering if he is just a bad businessman who struck lucky with Peter Taylor at City (after several bad managerial appointments let's not forget) and bought his way to success in the lower football divisions. He can't keep playing the 'blame Hetherington, Gentle & McRae' cards that's for sure.

Given Radford's clear lack in almost every department as a rugby league coach and him not using the youth when he had chances to over the last 1.5 years this has now put our youth system back in terms of development hugely IMO.

Cunningham is leaving & got next to zero game time, how many actual minutes have any of the younger players got this season, even last season Radford brought in Colborn (& signed Biggs, well he was assigned a jersey no. at least) when he could have used Lancaster earlier, brought in a useless/unfit/injured Carvell whom left shortly afterwards.

Abdul has had 10 games (with a fair few of those with not many minutes at all) and in a team lacking confidence and things clearly not right behind the scenes still gets the finger pointed at him by the coach (his radio comment was as clear as daylight!). We might have great facilities, we might even have a good coach in RH, we surely do have some talented kids but that's all pointless when you have a big steaming gap toothed turd in charge who doesn't have a clue about player development :x

Nail on the head, - Radford is incapable of (can't be @rsed) developing young players, & IMO is the reason most of our recent signings are in their 30's, - they don't need coaching.
Its a short term fix (to save his job?) & surely Pearson can see this goes against his usual `youth development' - `jam tomorrow' rhetoric, when pass sales need a boost.
If he can't, we are in deep sh** !

From an outsiders perspective - Hull players seem to go out of fashion and get moved on to be replaced by other average players who have just happened to have a good season. It's rare you sign any genuine class like Ellis.
