Quote ="Kosh"If anyone had put forward that theory you might have a point. But nobody has. The suggestion is that Pearson relied on their advice when new to the game and has since become aware that the advice was bad. No brainwashing required.
It's not just the recruitment last year but the year before as well. The squad's been found out and in particular the halves have been a disaster. Certainly they've been far worse than my most pessimistic evaluation pre-season. There have also undoubtedly been shortcomings with the coaching and Pearson alludes to this when he says he thinks both Radford and Tony have learned a lot and will be better at their jobs next season. That remains to be seen.'"
Brainwashed hoodwinked whatever you want to call it some seem to be perfectly ok with the theory that bomber and Gentle managed to convince AP that what they were doing was perfectly sensible but its laughable that Radford could do the same thing.
As for the squad and halves in particular performing poorly surely that's directly down to the head coach not getting the best out of them?
It's almost like Radford gets a free pass simply because he has the balls to force certain players out the door.
