No, I meant making us one of only two profitable clubs in Super League who turnover £1m per annum in merchandise alone and who have sold 10,000+ replica shirts in each of the last six seasons. The sort of club who don't need a £1m soft loan.

I'd suggest its a new coach and recruitment officer they need more than a new owner! For a club in profit you remain e on the field year after year! Time to spend some of that profit maybe?

i smell fear from the dobbins fans and a smidge of envy(again)!

they hav achieved nothing and think everything is rosy with allams 'gift', when in reality he now has them by the balls!!

haha, enjoy Pearsons fiscal abilities, what was City's debt when he ran them? At least Auntie Cath kept a tight hold on the purse strings to ensure her returns, even if it did mean mediocrity.

Pearson has clearly done something right, judging by the posts on here from rovers fans.

It's like talking to a brick wall. Allam said at the time it was a "soft loan" i.e. long term and interest free, but it's still a loan. He used that phrase on Radio Humberside and in the press. Feel free to think of it as a donation if you must but don't start crying a few years down the line when City are struggling and he wants his money back. As for Pearson at Hull FC, he has the cash to invest money into the club and I welcome it. I'm not naive to think he's here for the love of it but I'm optimistic about his plans.

I do not disagree about the new coach comment, the problem was Kath & Co clearly never saw this and their focus was on financial stability and credit to them for gaining that. I suspect now the financial stability is in place our new owner will want to take us to the next level of becoming a consistent team who can compete against the best like Wire, Wigan, Saints, Leeds & Huddersfield, I have every faith that our new owner will achieve this and I am sure unless Agar miraculously is able to deliver this he will be replaced rather quickly.

City were debt free when he left.

Dunno, what were their debts when he ran them? I'm pretty sure he took them from near relegation and administration to the Championship, and sold them for a hell of a lot more than he bought them for. He did pretty well!

I do find it ironic that a Rovers fan is trying to give Hull fans stick about possibly future debt, by the way! You've overspent to be competitive and you're still crap anyway, so again no point in calling us mediocre when we're above your sorry lot in the table regardless!

And then in a further interview Allam admitted that it was a soft loan and not a donation. Do try to keep up. Oh - and the player valuations have no effect on the profit and loss account, thus could never cover up any debt. Even if we weren't posting an actual profit. Which we have done for a few seasons. Keep clutching those straws though.

Another jealous and fearful nitwit.

Pearson has kept on the CEO, Financial Director, and Commercial Director that made us one of two profitable SL clubs.

You keep on flailing around for some comfort though.

blah blah heard it all before when Lloyd bought you, he was going to make the Sharks the best RL team in the world, then Gateshead was raped and Hetherington was going to make you best SL club ever, and now Pearson. You can polish a turd as much as you like.

Anyone who's not desperately one-eyed can see the stability brought to Hull FC by Kath Hetherington & the board. Don't underestimate the benefits of that stability. Yes Hull haven't really been challenging, but they've been steadily building off the pitch in exactly the fashion that should be applauded. Hull FC have gone in a short time from nearly going under to being one of the best run clubs in the league.

I don't know if a change of ownership was necessary to kick on a step or whether the old board could have done so with a few changes. But thanks to the clubs' stability it's an excellent base to attempt to kick on from now.

Oh dear, we are bitter, aren't we?

"Back" to the top?

Well we were at the top in the early 80's, her could have been alluding to that?

And afraid. In fact the smell of fear is almost as strong as the smell of bullshine.

It's not that long ago that we were a top 4 side and had appeared at OT. He could be referring to that also.

My word, you have been shaken! Normally a fairly coherent poster and now reduced to this!

Is there another set of fans that are as envious and bitter about their much bigger neighbours as Hull KR fans? Even Leigh fans aren't as bad in regards to Wigan!

there's nothing as funny as a deluded FC fan. Another saviour or just another chairman with more ambition than ability?

The fact that you're trying to talk this down and put as much negative spin on this as possible off the back of nothing but made-up facts shows who the deluded one is.

I have reserved judgement on AP, as have many other Hull fans. There's not enough to base on other than a rather successful stint recently at Hull City. You can try and put as much negative spin on it as you like if it makes you feel better. The fact is, you're worried that it might actually turn out good for us!

Two cups is hardly the top. Keep clutching them straws.

a deluded rovers fan who can't grasp basic facts perhaps?
