The change of name on company house didn't go under the radar though. That was all over social media within hours back in January with all sorts of speculation that Pearson had sold up. The HDM even ran a story about it to clarify what was actually happening. Can't post a link right now as the site won't let me but a Google search will show the story under "Hull FC ownership clarified after Companies House sparks confusion" and a search of FB groups such as the fans forum will show how quickly it was picked up.

Or am I missing something and there's been a further change since then?

EDIT: Here's the link to the story:

Went looking up Hull FC on company house after my earlier post and found something that I thought was of interest to share. Adam's company "Hull FC 2011 Limited" was incorporated on 12th May 2011. Pearson's ownership was announced on the 22nd July 2011 so just over two months later. Just goes to show that these things, whether it's a purchase or investment, take time to sort and finalise before they can be announced. There's no doubt a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes at FC at this time that we will not be privy to.

Jesus media sticking the knife in today, all seem to have something against us at the moment.
Probably in our strongest position for 5 years and they are loving reporting anything negative.

Good content for folks Dave unfortunately.

Hardly surprising Dave if any article has Shaws fingerprints on it.

Seems the natives across the river are a little rattled by the changes going on within our club and the positives.

The media are getting frustrated now so are doing everything they can to disrupt us.
They're linking every man and his dog to us. Let them be negative towards us. I don't think for one minute we was in for McDermott unless someone corrects me?

Sorry Dave K, unable to quote

Story’s regarding FC will always get the media clicks due to the stature of the club and the demise surrounding it currenrly, factor in their frustration with getting no leaks from uni..

Let's see if Shaw posts about the new Rovers sponsorships.

I'd love us to make a real statement signing either a player or a coach.

Part of me is hoping Myler is on Sky tonight when they're doing the 30 mins 'FC in crisis' special.

No doubt we'll get Wilkin and JJB droning on. I just find the whole media circus boring, most if not all of the opinion are lazy and ill informed.

As someone has said above, it shows our stature in the game that everyone's talking about us and everyone's got an opinion on us at the moment. I don't think there's a lot of other clubs that would be getting this kind of coverage.

Or both !

The RMT calling out Hull Kr's latest sponsorship deal on twitter...oh dear.

John Asiata signed?

Can we get Ipape and Lam next

That's what we needed.

Very very positive moves.

Signing a player as good as him.
Spending money
Must be confident in club and néw coach.

Tough no nonsense leader who will be on about the same money as Carlos so it's a big upgrade.

Fab-U-Lous!!

Now to sit back and wait for Beaumont to have a few drinks and post on twitter.
Serendipity

Do we have a coach and it's just not been announced?

I thought the coach was selecting the players based on the identified play style? Then Myler essentially doing the business.

This is a statement of intent by us this!

Good signing, a real leader hopefully more to follow.

If he has a melt down over this, it will be my favourite bit, no doubt

If we don't have a new coach, surely this statement of intent will help to sway their decisions a little, showing them that there are resources in place to make big signings

I think Asiata would walk into every SL team regardless of who's coaching it ... Except for TS .
