I just found it incredibly biased and without balance, written by a mate, about a mate, I can fully accept if people disagree with me, that is whatbthe forum is all about, isn't it?

And you do realise, that what Cooke wrote, is probably how the vast majority of FC fans feel about Radford's tenure at the club. He brought success to the club, and he gave everything he could. The fact he, in the end, wasn't up to taking it on further, doesn't alter that, or the way his friends and ex colleagues view him.
Those, who wanted him gone, have got their wish. Perhaps they should now move on.

I am very grateful for all Lee achieved for our club, the b2b Wembley wins will never be forgotten, I didn't want him gone as an individual, I did want rid of the matey culture he had encouraged and endorsed. We all move on, as I am sure Lee will move on and can always be proud and hold his head up high when walking down the street, he will always have my respect for what he has achieved.

Then, have the good grace to accept that, some, will write good things about him, because that's how they viewed him.

I do, but, he's gone, and, in the end I was hoping he would. So perhaps we should accept that those who are tasked with writing articles for the press, will probably write good things and not damning ones. For now, we should all focus on getting through the next few weeks, and then hopefully finding the right person to take us forward.

Interesting piece from Ellis and for me seems Radford had been a dead man walking read it here. Gives the picture of things not being right and the team from fractured.

I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Definitely time to move on even though it could be a long, long time before we get our hands on another piece of silverware. Hopefully we might sneak something in the next 10/20 years if the rugby gods are shining on us. We live in hope.
