How bad was gentle to be sacked? surely his win ratio with cup games will never be improved this season or next ! his replacement was the man he trusted most to instil order to the camp yet had one eye on his job ! he was a good clean family man with no shady involvements ! he did not have the luggage of coaching a team he never supported as a kid ! and was ex green and gold assistant coach with good pedigree ! maybe mr pearson was ill advised somewhere along the way??

Good shout, but Wire have deep pockets if they want to keep him

https://audioboo.fm/boos/2129968-hull-f ... rsidesport 100% agree about the crowd , I grew up watching a pretty average side at the boulevard but one of my biggest memories of that time was the noise the crowd made . 10/11k at the kc and you can hear a pin drop . People need to get behind the guys in black n white IN ANY KIND OF WEATHER

Best part of £65 to come down and watch that dross, we looked like schoolkids making elementary errors and not understanding that just keeping it tight against Wakey would have seen us win at a canter, we didn't need to produce much outstanding today.

I'm not a Radford fan, I've made that clear, he isn't the man for the job and thus it has always been..however the thought process of the players to come up with stupid plays that are going no-where, lacking thought about positioning in defence and not being able to stop their offload is just crazy.

Yes the crowd was really off key today, not a single proper rendition of Old Faithful..I've never experienced that in 36 years of following, however players should never ever need the crowd to inspire them. They are professionals, they have set goals/targets for each game, each 5 or 10 minute stint..to lose after being 16-0 up is frankly a disgusting insult to the fans.

Honorable mentions to Crookes, Thompson & Azza

Lost to Bradford today, so no point taking him because if we lost to Bradford with him in charge you'd be asking for him to be sacked.

Gentle wasnt the answer, neither was Agar, neither was Sharp and apart from the cup run and the odd shock result neither was Kear.

time to stop messing about appointing unproven Assistants and get a proven Head Coach in

You let a good one in agar go.

Reckon they might want him out with the way he is going, maybe they need a fresh start too.

He is the coach we should have gone for, really made it worthwhile.

Wonder If Cooke coming on board in some kind of capacity would make a big difference, I think it would.

We certainly need some kind of change on the coaching side.

Agree with the point in general, but 10/11k? Those days are gone, its 8k but announced as higher and dwindling each week now.

The way its going the infamous 'pay little rent for crowds below 7.5k' KC deal will look like a good peice of business!
