Fully support AP in what he has done & the manner he did it. Style of play 20 years out of date, no clue or ambition in attack.
A style of play which takes its toll on the poor guys being run into brick walls again and again !!
AP been incredibly loyal & supportive of LR, he pays the bills & has bought an all star squad which was destined for an awful season. He has acted decisively & just might rescue this season, fingers crossed. His emotion & mixed feelings were clear for all to see, I really respect that honesty - he is absolutely showing respect for us fans & clearly shares our pain.
Thanks to both for the 2 CC's - can we now PLEASE push on to the next level ??
AP gets out of his seat to catch LR to sack him, then tells the tv world before LR had the chance to tell his team, even the official press waiting didn’t know. Zero respect for a guy who bled b&w

I didn’t watch the second half, so didn’t see Pearson’s statement etc. What summed it all up for me in the first half was when Fash iirc played the ball and Houghton was stood looking the other way and talking and Warrington took the ball 10 yd’s from our own line. Dropping the ball in our first 2 sets is one thing but Houghton has no excuse for that.

He then is asked by SKY to do an interview and he clearly is emotional about parting ways with a Coach he has backed continually and clearly not a decision he wanted to have to make. LR had plenty of time while to tell the players while AP was doing the interview. Its laughable to say he was sacked live on tv as even when you watch the interview AP states clearly that he and LR had spoken agreed to part ways.
Why would waiting until the morning make any difference when they had both agreed to part ways? Do you think Lee, the players or AP are going to feel any better for waiting before any announcement.
look from the outside instead of from a bubble. Few are disputing the decision - but look how many Players, ex players, coaches and other staff within RL are expressing the view the way that this was handled was poor form. The only ones defending the way this was done are FC fans. It’s tarnished the club but you are blind to see it.

Bullll shittttt, ap did the right thing, letting radford do the post match sky interview then sacking him would of been worst. That killed AP to do that, he loves Radford, but was left with no choice for the good of the club

Of course it hasnt you dont like Pearson after the Connor signing and you are looking to point score, most of those ex players where posting straight after the interview, without knowing the full story, which we wont until Radford makes a statement.
I bet you anything we get a whole host of applications who will look at Pearson fir what he is, a very ambitious owner who puts his money where his month is and backs his coach, even when most others are against. A man who has brought more success than most other SL owners. You only to watch his interview to see how gutted he was to make that decision.
The main stakeholders here are the Hull fans who keep the club going, this wont make any different for us getting a decent coach, anyone with half a brain can see the bigger picture and what a good owner Pearson is to work for.

You mean all the band waggoners knee jerking who are saying he was sacked live on tv? which he clearly wasn't. All people who are not involved in the club nor where present before and after the game either.
Anyone watching the interview can clearly see and hear AP is upset about the decision and it seems that it was a mutual decision or quite possibly even Lee himself that made the decision.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
