No ones even mentioned that unless we win something, they'll stop going, people just saying they wont pay to go watch the thats been served up at the minute, i;m one of them, its , boring, my £10 a month for premier sports gives me my rugby league fix. No pass for me next season

I've got premier sports but still going to KC next season, maybe AP shouldn't be saying we will be back at wembley etc..but he has got aspirations for the club I suppose, it's far from perfect at FC everyone is under pressure, but the production line of youth is up & running & we will be seeing the fruits of it in the next few seasons, for us all this season but I'm keeping glass half full.

Whats the point of having great kids coming through when we have a coach who doesnt have a clue, until we get a qualified 1st team coach, nothing is going to change, i know you "ears" are bff and all that, but even you must be having your doubts! you still think hes the man for the job?

A first team coach stays in a job not long unless very successful, I thought he could have served a bit longer as an assistant, he knew this himself but couldn't let the chance pass, he's either not developing the current squad to the best of their ability, but I also see the teams in & around us are developing too, it's not for me to say he's the man to steer us forward I'll leave that to AP.

| To be honest, nowadays, if you gave all 12,000 tickets away free, that team and performances wouldn't attract me.
Radford must go for the sake of the club.

Christ, no. Get Andy Hay back. He clearly knew Gentle and Radford were clueless. Even Motu as caretaker.
Can you imagine if they gave the job to Horne? I'd go support London in the Championship.

simple really, the rugby isn't entertaining and most people's living rooms are warmer, comfier, and have a much better atmosphere than the KC.

| Quote fc baldy="fc baldy"Shaun McRae........had arguably the best squad we have had in SL but couldn't deliver the silverwear the squad merited and took the team as far as he could.Played some very good rugby but couldn't cure the "cancer" in the squad.
John Kear........took over a youthful team with experience and deliverd us the cup but results and performances was somewhat inconsistent,didn't stand upto the board and lost the dressing room and paid the price for a horrid start to 2006.did he address the "cancer" in the club.
Richard Agar.......stepped up for 4 matches as caretaker and did ok steadying the ship.
Peter Sharp......came in,altered our attack and defence...took us on a big winning run,battered Wigan and Leeds along way...took us to OT in his 1st yr.....brought through some youngsters,instilled discipline off the pitch but was over ruled by the board.Had to contend with a horrendous injury crisis and the Cooke affair and ultimately cost him his job.
Richard Agar......what can be said but put us back years.Ruined the youth set up completely.
Peter Gentle.........made some funny 1st signings but the proved to be bang on....in his 1st season we played some good stuff and things looked roses then lost the plot in 2nd year with a light pack that got bullied.......took captaincy off Lynch and gave to Ellis which was big mistake... gave youth a chance and unearthed some gems.
Out of them all....Sharp was the biggest mistake we made by sacking him and I'd love to still have him here.'"
Good summary.
McRae deserves a lot of credit for his first spell, he signed the players that formed our success for the next few seasons, with unknown youngsters such as Raynor & Carvell mixed with proven quality like Swain. We also played some outstanding rugby in 2004, and without the horrendous injury list at the end I feel we were in with a good shot of getting to Old Trafford that year.
Kear was good for one-off moments like the CC Semi and Win, the Playoff win against Andrew Johns' Warrington etc but lets not forget we were woefully inconsistent too, we were either battering a team or taking a hammering! Exciting to watch though I must admit.
In hindsight sacking Sharp is looking a bigger mistake as time goes on, we had one bad spell in 2008, with arguably the worst injury list in the clubs history. Had we known Agar was round the corner i'd have rather he was given time to turn things around.
the only thing I will say in defence of all of the coaches during the Hetherington era is that it is quite clear that the board had a massive say in our signings, you do wonder how many of them the coaches actually wanted to sign or if they just got lumbered with them!
As you say Gentle cocked up 2013 massively, with most of his/McRae's signings working out badly. I still don't think he was the right man for the job long-term and he appeared to be a broken man after the playoff defeat at Huddersfield...but he would still have been a better option than the clueless Radford!
the above list does show that gambling on unproven assistants repeatedly hasn't worked for us. Getting this club back on track is a job for a proven head coach and that isn't Lee Radford.

He won't walk he's no quitter, it has been the worst start it could possibly be for him & his staff/ squad, it will make them more determined to succeed, we are in a massive hole as much as to say we are miles away from sorting it, us fans are very unhappy with performances/results, we are at rock bottom so to me there's only 1way from here, which is up, got a splinter in my ars!
