Ultimately, in ANY profession, a manager is responsible for the failings of his/her subordinates...?

I posted earlier in the season that I renewed my pass for this year to support Adam Pearson, despite the fact that last season was shambolic and I had no confidence in Lee Radford.



After reading that article I won't be giving him my money upfront next season.



As the old saying goes, there's none so blind as those that will not see.

I stand by my post a while back, saying that I wont be going next season if radders is still in charge. I have 4 kids and a missus id rather spend my hard earned wage on, then the dross we have paid to see in the last 2 season

"I didn't hear anyone calling for his head when we won 8 out of 10."



I didn't hear you saying the players weren't performing either, funny that.



So to summarise. The 8/10 run was down to Radford. All of our losses have been down to the players.

He needs to listen to what he's saying and give his head a bang.

oh well, at least its not our fault

If we were playing well and had a new coach would you rather spend your hard earned money on rugby than your 4 kids and missus ?

Just wait till next season it will be. We will be to blame for not buying season passes, match tickets, merchandise etc.

To be totally fair though very few did call him for a while. And the fans were taking credit for our change in style.

Some of us were actually crediting our senior players for our change in style. From what I have heard since it was the players who instigated that change of style. Sadly we are reverting to type now. We have a coach who simply wants 13 props and second rows on the park and feels brawn is the way forward.

So those of us who blame Radford were still around. Frankly now it's reached the point were I for one can't even be bothered with saying I told you so.

LR has changed the philosophy and direction of the club back to Bradford circa 2002. It's the only way he knows and he has managed to convince the one man with no knowledge of our game, but who controls the club, that his way is best.

The gulf is now bigger between us and Leeds from when AP took over. They were the standard bearer when he took over and still are. Yet we are further from them than ever before. AP went to the play off match against Leeds after he had taken over and said never again.

We have gone through loads of bang average players and now have a bang average coach, but sadly an owner who doesn't want to admit any mistakes.

The only half decent decision AP has made since sacking Agar was to appoint Gentle, who may have had faults but he was taking us places. Wembley and play offs. But LR convinced AP that brawn was the way forward. We now see the results over two seasons NOT a period of 8/10

In 2013 Darryl Powell took over a Castleford side who were languishing at the bottom of the table, had little money or resources, and were seemingly going nowhere. Also in 2013 Lee Radford took over a Hull team fresh from a Wembley appearance and 6th place finish.



Radford has overseen 50 competitive games. He has 20 wins, 2 draws and 28 losses.



Powell has overseen 67 games. He has 38 wins, 1 draw and 28 losses.

Let's not forget Powell' s L**ds days , Then a stint in RU , Then Fev

Radford Resume ... East Hull .

Its clear AP wants us to get worse, "this playing roster is top 4"



Cant see any top 4 club wanting to sign Washbrook
