Who is the next person on your radar. What you think is of no interest to me as all I have read things from you since you reinvented your self
The poster you are knocking is a true fan of the club which can not be said about you.
Good luck Lee and thank you for lifting the challenge cup for the first time in our history at wembley and to go Back the next year and do it again thanks for the great memories

Hey, thanks for your assessment of my fan credentials and hope you're enjoying the sun over there.

Just in case anyone doesn't understand what you're referring to, it's that I believe Mrs Barista and Comeonyouhull are the same poster.

In amongst all of the fall out I think it is important to remember that Radders has served your club for the majority of his adult life. Played for you, captained you, coached you. Very successfully too and in decades to come he will be remembered as a legend.

He can't just move away and forget about this, he is a Hull boy and both of his sons are Hull FC players at scholarship and Academy level.

Treat him with the respect that Adam Pearson didn't afford him.

All of the above, except the last sentence.
You obviously haven’t heard what Pearson had to say.

Sounds like a civil conversation between the pair, and Pearson has been full of praise. This is from the YP: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/r ... tv-2449038 "I went to see Lee straight after the end of the game and we had 10, 15 minutes talking. "I don't think he was surprised (by the decision). I told him 'I think that's it.' "And he said 'yes, I agree.' He always said to me he'd know when it was time to go. "And, looking at it, seven years in one (coaching) job is a long time in any sport especially with the power of social media and the way people are these days. "He's had a really good innings and we should always remember what he has done for this club; his legacy is winning at Wembley and winning back-to-back Challenge Cups which no one has ever done with Hull. "But aspects of that performance tonight were unacceptable and he knows that." "I asked him to tell the players and all the guys first. "Sky needed an interview so I said I'd handle Sky for him and he said 'great'. That's when I went out to do it. That is as clear as day. "It wouldn't have made sense to leave it another day. It means now we've got two seasoned coaches - (assistants) Andy Last and Kieron Purtill - going in tomorrow (Friday) starting fresh from tomorrow. "To have Lee going back in Friday morning to say his 'goodbyes' would have been pointless and to leave it another day, it would have got out in the media. "This feels the right time to make a change but I want to go on record thanking Lee for his efforts for the club and wish him and his family all the best in the future."

Last comment on this. Just read Paul Cooke's summary in Hull daily mail. Great piece IMO. If ever I bump into Radford I will shake his hand and tell him Thanks mate
