Gentle and their team had many faults, and he wasn't the answer. But this picture that the club keeps trying to build that Radford inherited a disaster of a squad and has had to start from nothing is simply a myth. The team would not have finished 6th if they were that hopeless. The team he got was much better than the one Gentle inherited of Agar for starters. And let's not forget Radford was assistant to Gentle anyway!

No-one from the club has said that, unless you can show otherwise.

"There will be no excuses about this not being my team. Everybody knows expectations of this club and I'm fully aware of them." Excuse-making, arguable. Goal-post shifting, definitely.

Pretty much agree, along with the way an 11th place finish under Radford seems to be used as a yardstick for improvement over Gentle.

To be fait to Rdford he did inherit a joke squad. Any team with Arundel, Miller etc on big wages would struggle and hes had to weed all these out

Again, not many (if any) has said that, a few have said that Radford has improved us this year from last. If we can finish 6th/7th with a tougher set of fixtures then Radford will have at least matched Gentles league performance.

Daryl Powell inherited a far worse squad , than Radford, and lost 2 of his main pivots as well.

Didnt hear him saying - "Not my team".

Yep and he's saying if he doesn't improve on this year next year he'll be failing.
I agree with him and he'll be got rid of and he knows that.
