I think a lot of the fans think its all crap, as it has been in the past and now can't see when it isn't. Why should they anyway?
It seems that asking for voluntary redundancies must have fallen on deaf ears then, so now the next bit unfolds. I don't know what else the bloke can say to convince people, if they want to be convinced at all. Perhaps those who still don't believe what's happening should talk to a few of the staff instead. Getting worse by the day it appears but some won't accept it, some never will, personally I find it very worrying its going to be a long winter, with this and the continued pressure from 'The home of the Tigers' making it more and more difficult to make money. but as I say that's just my personal view!
Indeed. If we go tits up we can't say we weren't warned and didn't have the opportunity to help.
Fans who don't renew killing the club? Is he for real. Always backed pearson but the guy is losing the plot and will be losing more fans with idiotic statements like that.The fans have stuck with his next season will be the season bull for how long.After the leeds play off we all loved the "never again will this club come to leeds and be embarrassed,and scraping into the play offs will not be excepted "speech ( unless its 2015 and thats our main aim ). We've had the building a british based side with future internationals speech ( which means overpaying unproven players on long contracts then having to pay them off,or its 2016 and we need to look to the nrl for our recruitment).Then we got the home grown wigan approach with the club hull speech ( until we decide to merg our academy with our biggest rivals despite more lads stepping up to first grade than ever) . Throughout all these false dawns and grand statements we've turned up more times than the team. Now he pulls out his ace card "the fans who don't renew their passes are killing this club". I'm not disputing it won't have a drastic effect on the club but to lay it at the fans feet is a joke..I'd ask the question if he's been watching the same team as me. If he has it can't be to hard to see why people aren't renewing anymore. Sorry adam but this situation is down to you more than us. Best intentions? Yes. Terrible decisions? Yes Trouble ahead? Most definitely

So, despite his best intentions, you come up with a post like this?
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
Not knocking his comitment but its not the fans that have put us in this situation. Its largly down to the decisions he has made. Yes he put his trust is some people who never repaid that trust but those were still his decisions,not the fans. I hope and prey it all finally comes good for him but he's the man who appoints the guy in charge of recruitment and the head coach. Don't expect everyone to agree but i know i won't be the only fan upset at that comment.

I agree and he's p----ing every one off with his fazes he flips more than a dice . If he wants help sell us the fans some of the club that way we have a voice even if only 5/10 percent divided over say 5000 supporters but no he's to much I'm right and you all know nowt type. Oh before you all jump on my back I will get a pass just in hope

Of course if Radford did the decent thing and resigned there would be no cost of paying him off, then Pearson could appoint a good coach and sell loads of passes. Problem solved.
Radford would then be the man who saved the club.
It won't happen of course but its a nice idea.
First there was wisdom Then there was knowledge Now there is only information
