My worry is that should Radford chuck it Pearson would promote Last and appoint Horne as assistant.

Last wont be the next in line , I was told he didn't want the assistants role .

dont get me wrong i think radford in last chance saloon,next 3 matches will decide imo, but every other thread is about slagging radford off, cant we just have one thread ?

MacNamar is on his way back to Hull

This might help...

He's from Hull. Family visit for Easter?

Would like Powell, Brian Smith, or Daniel Anderson..

Realistically Morgan or McNamara

Apparently more than a visit

How times change , Most wouldn't touch Macca with a bargepole a couple of seasons ago .

I'd still be hesitant about him being much - if any - of a trade-up from Radford.

Thats all we ask (and deserve!)

This just about sums it all up.
Posters can hurl abuse and obscenities at the club, coach, owner and fans, something the mods seem quite happy with, because we deserve success.

i just hope that anyone coming in is allowed to decide who they want as assistants and not be forced to use what we have now. they should be given a clean slate to completely revamp the coaching side of things. if they want to retain any of the current staff then fair enough, but it should be their choice

Any club with our volume of following deserves at least a decent coach and a little success!!

Was willing to give it the first 6 games but I am going back on that. We are poor. Worst attack in the league. New (and good at that ) half backs high light the key problem we have had for years, our back line is a not really fit for purpose in SL. We have not had SL standard centres for years.

I really hope Pearson is not playing the waiting game on the derby. It should not take 8 games into the season to realise we need a competent coach. I fear if Radford wins the derby it would be the mother of all crack coverers and he would be here for at least another month.

Realistically who should we be looking at? Sheens is in the UK without full time work. A possibility? Never thought I would say it but Noble would be a district job in coaching quality. And out side possibility would be Steve Folkes.

I dont think changing the coach will make any difference to be honest , I dont think we have the players to do much better even if we had the best three coaches in the world.We have some decent players but some very mediocre ones as well and before you come back with its Radfords squad its not all his.But the biggest factor like i have said before and say it again the expectations on the side to perform is to great,we play with fear we have for a number of years.Defeat on Friday and Radford will be gone that I have no doubt the fans will demand it.Whatever I will continue to back the Club how long Club will survive is another matter

I honestly think it will, it isn't just the players but team selection, use of subs and tactics are poor.

We don't back up, offload or seem to have any moves, a decent coach would improve that straight away.

If we brought in Sheens now, we would finish in the top 8 IMO, he would also be capable of bringing in a higher quality caliber of players from the NRL.

You just have to look at history to see the impact of a new coach, Cas and wakey are good recent examples.

So based on your logic.
If only the fans of all the other SL teams expected them to perform at a consistent level be competitive and moderatively successful then they could all be as cack as us and then we might stand a chance.
Fancy the cheek of us fans expecting professional sportsmen to perform week in week out to a certain level. The shame.

You miss the point yes every other Sl fans have expectations but IMO the pressure at FC is greater,the pressure on every FC coach the last 8/9 yrs has been growing even more .Whether you agree or not will not change my opinion .I have watched Fc for over 50 yrs and even in the dark days the pressure was not as it is now with social media and if you think players dont read the negative comments and does not effect them then your not in the real world.Yes the players ,coach ect deserve flack when they dont perform but for me its to much

We did have a young lad selected for the`dream team IIRC - ' apparently needed `bulking up'
(nice to see Abdull embracing Radfords `big is best' Philosophy btw) What the heck is he eating?
Re Tim Sheens.
when last over there, he said would consider a superleague gig if the right offer came along.
After the transformation at Salford over the last 3 weeks would be surprised if Koukash isn't thinking long & hard - - - -
Probably too late though, think he has since been reappointed as Oz coach - can't see him giving that up.

Do you really think the pressure on the FC coach is greater than Wigans or even Saints. Social media doesn't have the clout I think your giving it, most message boards, FB and twitter are the same people trotting out the same stuff time and time again, although not ignored it certainly wont be taken that seriously.

As a lot have said, and as much as I'd like to say you lot aren't loyal etc, you generally are, you still turn up, buy stuff but just moan a lot about it. I'd be surpirsed if your fan based income isn't among the highest in the league so this in itself will deflect pressure.

The fact that any real sustained success is a distant memory must also be a pressure reliever, if a coach comes in and fails will it be such a blot on his copybook? I personally think its a job a lot of coaches would want as if you fail its expected, win and you'll be worshiped.

for a rovers supporter you dont half talk sense
