Why as it to be cost cutting. Say what if it pay off.AP will not have to pay out to much compo if it doesn't work

Is there any reasons the players would play for another coach.....or have they been told by Radders play for me or I will kick ass!!!! hahahaha

I don't blame AP for wanting to cut costs he hasn't got an endless pot of money to throw away.

Shaul, crooks and lineham are the three bright sparks this season.

I partly disagree here Seb. I think judging by reactions on here and elsewhere that people are sensing there's more that needs doing than simply hiring a proven coach so I doubt that passes would fly off the shelves. That said, I think that a proven head coach in charge would see more passes sold than if/when Radford is announced.

I already have my pass by the way.

If you were coach of another SL team, would you sign any of them? I'm afraid until someone comes clean and says what actually happened, no-one will want any of your players in case they are buying in trouble, and no coach will want to go there either for fear of getting the same 'support' from the players Gentle got.

I doubt that will happen, although it did as [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24214706Sunderland[/url, perhaps
