You don't have an argument. You said I'm kidding myself if I think it's easy to find a coach. I don't think it's easy, and have never claimed it to be.
I don't work in rugby league. I'm not on familiar terms with any coaches or agents in rugby league. Therefore I don't know which coaches are willing/looking to move clubs, or how much they cost. That doesn't mean there is none. You don't seem to be able to grasp the concept that people in the game will know more than us about such matters.
Adding in your seeming requirement that our new coach should not be someone who is currently out of work after being sacked is just strange IMO. Plenty of coaches are sacked at some point in their career, it's the nature of the beast. A coach being sacked somewhere has absolutely no bearing on whether or not they are better than Radford.

Care to expand?
I don't want Horne to be given the job, but the sooner Radford and Last leave for me the better. If that happens Horne is pretty much last man standing, so if he acts as caretaker for a few months with a proven replacement coming in at the end of the year then I'm fine with that. He certainly can't do a worse job than Radford is doing.

We can reiterate that it's his fault, consequences of his decisions, team not good enough/entertaining enough, blah blah blah. I totally get all of that. But from his POV he thought he could get results quickly for a limited investment. Cash has clearly been pisssed away on (in many cases) the wrong things. The supply of cash is not infinite, you'd assume and whatever the reasons for the current position, we are where we are. I personally doubt he's got the appetite or resources now to pay off another coach and his entire staff and bring in an whole new set-up with more people who are better qualified with attendances now settled under 10k which is what people on here seem to be suggesting is a reasonable, practical and instantly deliverable piece of change.
Spoken like a true accountant but pearson is an entrepreneur and he knows his only chance of getting his cash back is by us having some degree of success
What I don't appreciate is this implied threat that we won't have a team to support if we don't keep turning up in huge numbers. How many other clubs supporters would put up with the dire standard of rugby we have over the last 8 years , and still keep turning out in the numbers we have?. Not many. The mantra of "just give us one more year" has ran out now. We've waited for coaches to assemble "their teams" and still nothing's changed. Going to rugby is not a cheap hobby anymore. Especially in these difficult financial times. I just feel we're reaching a tipping point this year. People are going to start walking away from the game, and the club will struggle to get them back.

No mention of Radford.
So you're arguing a point I (nor anyone else, I think) never made then. Fans thinking we need a new coach does not equate to thinking it's easy, it's just exactly what it is; thinking it's necessary. It's not easy, but neither is it impossible. I don't understand why you seem to want to criticise fans over it, tbh.
