Making statements like he won't sack Radford no matter what suggests he's lost his ruthless streak, but of course what he says to the media and what he's actually thinking could be different.
That's what is needed from Pearson . The only difference is at Hull City is wasn't all his own money he was putting in . The worrying thing is who at the moment would take us on !

I've said before that even scraping 8th and getting 3 more SL home games is worth more than the wage of a decent coach. Even just getting say 2k walk up fans per game at £20 a head is 40k a game. Whereas a Championship super8 game will be passholders and a minibus full of away fans if we're lucky, and the damage to pass sales for next year would be massive.

No it wasn't.
When has any owner or chairman ever come out and said, publicly, that a coach had "x" number of games before the chop'?
If he had cone out and said Radford was put of his depth, which to us the fans is obvious, then Pearson would be accused of causing undue pressure and disruption in the camp.
Do some folks on here know what they are saying, wanting a sole owner to walk away? I can see the queue down Anlaby Road now lining up to buy him out or take over the reins, the answer to the thread is no, unless you can name a potential owner and for some of you in this thread if your long term fans then I'd be very careful what you wish for!

Assam Allam may be prepared to buy the club after reading his praises in the ' City, should we be concerned thread'

Staggering, isn't it? I've raised this very obvious point but no one's addressed the fact that virtually all RL owners are benefactors and most to the tune of £500k pa. Exactly who would take us on when the club was up for sale for years before AP bought it and the SMC deal is progressively more challenging? Not seen any credible alternative buyers put forward. Some people are delusional on this fundamental point.

I never said he should of said he had x amount of games did I, what i was getting at is that Pearson shouldn't of said anything.
Saying a coach will not get sacked is a mistake in my opinion as you set yourself up to look foolish when it all goes Pete tong and you have to sack him, Pearson could of been abit more diplomatic with his wording I.e he could of just said something like he had his full backing and support.

Pearson was asked at interview, do you expect him to say nothing?
If Pearson sacks Radford, it would look anything but foolish.
