Going by the replies people have posted. Yes, I do.

Emailing Pearson directly is a much better option than signing a petition that looks like it was written by an angry teenager, which then sends the angry-teenager rant to the wrong person.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what you're suggesting.

Again, no idea what you're going on about. In the metaphor you quoted, what is the "sword"?

I applaud you for trying anything but alas i fear you will be shouting at a deaf man right now!! Mr Pearson i hope is a shrewd man and is starting to realize himself what a dead doughnut Radford is as a coach ...
What worries me more is that LR himself said he would walk if he believed it was too much for him what worries me further is that he is the only one who doesn't see it, he will leave us with one legacy in our year of celebrations, it will be the year we literally fight to stay in the SL and he will leave when its too late...

I have said in the past our offence is the worst in SL that I have no doubt, within our squad we have players who have done it and bought the Tshirt,are you telling me that these players do not have a say in how we play?Pryce for example has played in some very good sides who played with flair is he keeping all his knowledge to himself? he will know what suits his game and others,he will know what works and what does not.If Radford is not listening to his players or the players are not performing for him then he must go. I doubt for one minute that players like Pryce ,Ellis ,Paea and Mini would not keep quiet when taking flack from the fans and do nothing if they thought the coach was the blame for such poor showing.I think Pearson should be the only one who decides if Radford gets sack otherwise every coach who comes in would be at the mercy of the fans.If you look whats going on at Newcastle were the fans are on their coaches back like they were with the last one and the one before and before,,that rings a bell.Like Newcastle expectations from fans is huge and this gets in players heads and effects their performance and for me thats what is happening with us,the fear of losing creates panic and all the best laid plans go out the window. As fans we have every right to be critical but some go overboard and even when we win concentrate on the negatives.

do you go to work and tell your boss how he should do things?

I see what youre saying there but, he's not a rugby league man, he doesn't know the sport too well, for all we know, radders is in his ear saying 'i know the sport and we are nearly there'

. I don't mean to disrespectful mate, but if you think AP reads and replies to every email he gets from fans, then youre a little deluded.

. ok the wording could have been looked at a little more closely, but I'm sure he was rather annoyed like many others.

im suggesting that we hit him in the pocket. if he see's people wont pay to see that dross that radders is serving up he may think twice about keeping on an inept coach.

the pen being your email the sword being taking action, boycotting, petitions etc
