If the club announced Morgan straight away, I reckon there'd be quite a mixed reaction. But if they drip feed us rumours of Radford taking over for a few days, then announce Morgan, we'll all be so relieved that we'll welcome the appointment with great joy! Sorted.

Sooner have Radders over McBannana...id take morgan with Radford and Last as assistants,bring Cooke back for u-19s and employ other coaches...sprint,kicking coaches on p/t basis.

Agreed, but I think Gentle was gone after the Saints game. AP's had some average advice on recruitment from McRae (and Howes), I hope he's taken external counsel on our new coach.



The reality is the first quarter on Thursday will have tipped some wavering pass renewers over the edge, who wants to pay £200+ for another year of that? AP knows visible change is needed. Whether this is the right replacement, I'm unsure.

The exact same 'give him a chance', 'young English coach', 'players respect him' twaddle has already started on Twitter. It's like viewing the Sharp/Agar transition through a time warp. Do people never learn?

If we got morgan we'd just replace howes with riolo



Not the best coach in the world but noble is a cut above any of the names touted here and was desperate to come when we appointed gentle. If we'd gone for noble we'd be in a better position now than we are IMO but I still think powell would have been a smarter chocie

To be clear, I'm ambivalent at best about Gentle going. Lovely bloke but increasingly doubtful he could turn things around, for whatever reason. But Radford? Deary me.



Pearson needs to bear in mind what happened the last time we replaced an Australian called Peter with his young assistant...

Apparently not. Radford has only two years of experience as an assistant, and that in a set up that is now deemed to have failed. Appointing him to the top job seems, at best, ill-advised and at worst suicidal.

So, Here we go again with employing yet another unproven assistant.



We should employ an experienced Director of Coaching, to instill team unity, and to guide the incumbents to take over.



Terrible appointment, IMO (if it happens)

Maybe someone need to remind AP that there's relegation next season. Now is not the time to be rolling the dice.

It get's worse, average recruitment humilated in the play offs now this.

I don't know, maybe getting relagated would be good for us.





Like everyone that joins, I'll give Radford a fair crack of the whip before judging. But then I'm an eternal optimist.

if gentle is to go were not going to see any benefits within the next 5-10 years with the new club hull scheme so we will be in the same state this time next year so whoever takes the coaching job is going to have there reputation dented i wouldnt even apply if i was a coach were turning into chelsea!!!
