I agree I’d be genuinely surprised if he goes anywhere,let be honest here he was made CEO from January I’d presume the sales talks with Danson where on going at that point so I’d assume he’d have to at least agree in principal to him getting the job.
Danson was already 25% shareholder at that point so I'm sure he had some involvement in the decision. He's not going to get rid of Kris Radlinksi. He'll have a similar opinion of him as Ian Lenagan I would imagine.
I do think fans put the blame for everything negative on Radlinski and never give him credit for any positives that have happened while he's been in charge.
I've been massively critical of him for various things in the past. The 2017 salary cap breach, the reaction to the spate of drink drive incidents after we signed Hardaker, the statement after selling Bateman originally which Bateman then had to correct, some poor recruitment decisions, are a few examples. There have certainly been a few issues, but personally I think part of the problem is that he was given too much too soon.
You expect that people will make mistakes and you also hope they improve and I think things have been going in the right direction. It seems like Shaun Wane is a little more involved in recruitment and Matt Peet has been able to get the signings he wants too, so it seems like KR has realised some of the shortcomings when it comes to recruitment. It's also worth pointing out that recruitment is far from easy. Our weakness in terms of recruitment has mainly been recruiting props and we're not the only club that has struggled with this.
I don't know how he goes about his day to day job away from the stuff that directly impacts the rugby we see but I've only ever heard positive things in that regard.
