Pearson has always delivered the cash for new signings

I’d like to see Evans sent back to Oz now or, if that’s not possible, then played in the reserves until he goes a run of games without giving a penalty away
On the odd occasion we do put some effort into our defence he invariably gives a six again away or a penalty
We then have to do it all again and usually end up conceding.

I don't necessarily think "atrocious" is right. It's been, 2016/17 apart, not much different to the Hetherington/Rule era in terms of on the pitch delivery?

Signed some good players in 2015-2017 but then he ended up signing the likes of Danny Langtree, Matty Dawson-Jones, Levi Nzoungou, Jordan Johnstone and Lewis Bienek.

And we are still paying for affects of Radfords tenure with ooor recruitment and old boys club much like Cas will.
Sadly Pearson had taken rugby advice from the wrong person starting with sacking Gentle then appointing Radford backing the wrong guy. If it hadn’t been for Motu and the players he brought in I doubt we’d have had any success as it was more the core group of leaders we had on the pitch rather than Rsdford that lead to the cup wins.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Yep worryingly it's been the same story under Hetherington and Pearson, a few good years with cup wins and promise followed by disappointing years missing the playoffs.
Shaun McRae once talked about a cancer at the club and I still don't think we know what causes a culture of poor performance (though McRae himself didn't help with some duff signings in his 2nd spell) players just seem to underwhelm at this club.

It was a damn sight lot more entertaining than the sh!te we've been served since he's gone.
