Scraping in to top8 'Unacceptable' next year... : Wed Aug 12, 2015 6:51 am  

http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-FC-Scraping-Super-8s-unacceptable-2016-says/story-27590489-detail/story.html And here was me thinking Pearson said it wouldent be acceptable a good 2/3 years ago! Also if your taking part in HullFC bullshit bingo make sure to dab off 'blame Gentle's squad on your card' you know that squad the finished 6th twice and went to Wembley... Sick and tired for this 'next year is the one' stuff from the club every season, the fans have yet again paid hundreds and in some cases thousands following the club this year. I look forward to the '2017's the one' this time next year!

I agree with everything said in the article. Where does he blame Gentle? He just says his squad will be better next season than the one he got from Gentle, I have to agree.

I'm no fan if Radford, but you are making a big deal out of a nothing story.

As far as bullshit bingo goes, banging on about Gentle getting us to Wembley and 6th twice is right up there. You'd think it was some golden period the way some people go on about it. We were embarrassed at Wembley in 2013. It was a shameful performance, I'd rather we'd not got there.

I agree with the OP. AP said this years ago and as the article states "Two years on, 10 of the 17-man team who took the field that day no longer play for FC" so he's already got his own team, not Gentle's.
What will the excuse be next year, "It's almost my squad but we've still 2-3 players left over from the previous regime".
I'm no Radford hater but I'm sick to the stomach of this kind of jam tomorrow BS the club seems to put out all the time.

So Radfords job is under threat if results don't improve? Good. i think he's right that next year's squad is better than last year's. If we don't do better then he has to go.

I wish people would read the article properly, there are no excuses or blaming gentle in that article from Radford or Pearson.

Scraping in to the top 8 this year, should not have been tolerated, never mind next year.

Pritchard will bring something different, a ball handling back rower,

I doubt the backs, will get the chance to show their prowess, as our structure does not/cannot create space to supply early ball.

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!

The Hull coach believes the squad he has assembled for next season is much better than the one he inherited when predecessor Peter Gentle was sacked in 2013

Radford believes he has rid himself of the recruitment of the previous regime.

"With improvement comes the goal that you are aiming for. We made improvement this year by making the top eight

Come on Dave, you must be able to see through the bullshite, excuse after excuse, same old rubbish. Just because he hasn't said its all Gentles fault, think its pretty obvious what hes getting at

I agree with him, recruitment overall was poor under Gentle and McRae, as it stands now Gentle was the better coach, just a shame we can't seem to get the right balance in a coach.

I still hope next season Radford proves me and others wrong.

Total nothing story.
