I really do think next season is a really crucial one in the clubs history, there is plenty to be positive about at the club, but now is the time to get it right on the pitch.
I agree with most of what the OP said and as you say would pearson spend all that money on new players if the club was dying,well he spent a lot of money last season on sneyd and to be fair have we seen any real improvement.The pack signings next season look very promising but we are back to the old chesnut of is radford the man to take us forward.The answer has to be no,one win in the super 8s,as hullfc1865 posts you can buy a ferrari but if the driver is no good its a waste of time.Didnt we say last season radford has while easter and he said "if I cant do the job I will walk" well im amazed if you think he's done a good job. We had a lot of injuries at the backend of the season which in someways helped blood our youngsters,but what if we had the injuries earlier in the season? I doubt we would have made the 8,because a lot of the season we had a good run with injuries and luckily we had made the 8 before the injuries struck.Until we get a proper coach like powell we will remain on the edges of the top 8 at best imo. Still COYH.

Feel free to bring up any quotes Dave's made (or anyone else) saying they're happy with Radford as head coach or that they think he's doing a good job.
The only "Radford Cheerleader" I can remember on here (I forget his username), was the guy who said he was his cousin, and even he changed his tune earlier this season.
Aren't you banned anyway Martin?

Find me examples when I have said that I think Radford is the right man for the job? In fact you will find that I have been critical of him on many occasions, just because I don't mention him every single post doesn't mean that I think Radford is the right coach for us.
I await your response and quotes of me being a Radford cheerleader?

Fair enough, I have no inclination to go through posting history, FC need to kick on, and I think we all agree an attacking coach to help Radford would be a definite improvement.

Definitely.
I posted a couple of weeks ago that I'd resigned myself to the fact that Radford was staying for 2016, and the best we could realistically hope for between now and then would be the signing of at attacking coach for pre-season.

The massive question is "who", and I hate myself for this, but I think a certain Mr P Cooke could be the answer (I now need to have a shower for even contemplating that!)

Personally I agree ... Cooke has good game vision and good passing technique & skills, I'd rather have Cooke than Horne on this basis(as Horne's name has being rumoured) as attack coach.

Horne is already in the set up, if he had anything to offer surely he would have done. A nice guy, but no real brains to mentor anyone else.
