Absolutely he's a far better coach than last

Radford wasn't the best coach in the world but he won us back to back cups

looking more than likely atm, Radfords' recruitment was shocking close season, but Last may have bit off more than he can chew as head coach

Not sure they would have stayed up had Radford still been there. The signs were there last season as to the similarity to how Cas were to us during the last 2 seasons under Radford. He seemingly got his band back together and had seemingly not learnt from the mistakes he made with us. I be forever grateful for the 2 Wembley wins but think it was the players rather than Radford that we achieved those.

Think Last has bitten more than he can chew such are the state Cas are in, really do fear for them.

Disagree. Radders isn't relegation fodder. He's a succeder.

Andy Last not doing the press conference at Cas. Looks like he's got the chop

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Fri Aug 04, 2023 9:32 pm  

Last sacked

Wonder what the odds are for Powell to be announced as their next coach

All the panic buys they’ve made as well.
Look an organisation in disarray at the moment. Even if they stayed up, then what?

Feel for Last but that job was too big for him.
The Radford effect.

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Fri Aug 04, 2023 9:59 pm  

Last won back to back challenge cups at Wembley with his beloved Hull Football Club. And he'll have a few bob in the bank from this job. He'll be doing fine. No sweat of his sack.

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Fri Aug 04, 2023 10:11 pm  

Last doesn’t deserve the vitriol he’s received. The club was a mess before he was head coach.
Anyone that takes over has got a big job on.

When Radders went there he ended up on changing room painting duty. You could see then that they were on the slide. Their star player, the Yorkshire rimmer, then set the tone for this season for them. The club is in a mess. It all went downhill the week of the Grand final when Hardaker got suspended. They never recovered from that.

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Fri Aug 04, 2023 10:23 pm  

Time will tell but for me the wrong decision by Rovers to rest a full team. Often does more harm than good. Look how flat and disjointed both us and Huddersfield looked last week after a week off. They've took a pasting tonight and took a huge hit to their points difference in a league that is already so tight. Resting a few players is fine, but a whole team is too excessive. They have to win next week, or little Willie will look a bit of an idiot.
Also hearing mutterings that Abdull will play next week which would just be ludicrous if true. To throw a player in after months out and months ahead of schedule would be a disaster waiting to happen.
