I understand that the club's former commercial director Adam Pearson is close to rejoining #lufc. It's hoped details will be confirmed Tues.

#lufc Details of Pearson's intended role to be confirmed. He was recently at Sheffield Wednesday.

In other news , Adam Pearson today became executive director of Leeds Utd. Left Sheff Weds late last month. Story online v soon #lufc #swfc

I'm sure you'll all know the family that have offered to buy Hull FC from Pearson.

That family can stay well away, thanks.

I'm actually not certain which family you are referring to, but I've narrowed it down to two and neither of them seem like a very attractive prospect.

If it's the family i'm thinking of, they can p*ss right off.

Koucash (I would guess his wife) is the rumour on twitter.

I would have no problem with that family owning Hull FC. They have the financial clout to provide investment to take us to the next level and could buy Allam 3 or 4 times over.

The Koukash one is a very, very strong rumour around the Leeds area.

It's only two days since Marwan Koucash tweeted "If I am not involved with Salford, I would not be involved in RL at all". Doesn't mention his wife though.

We can confirm the appointment of Adam Pearson as our new Executive Director. He will assist Massimo Cellino on all aspects of #lufc.

Under RFL rules Marwan cant own 2 clubs so Mandy would have to run one.

He couldn't give Salford away anyhow.

Could be an interesting few days.

ive heard its his wife coming in

shouldnt be a problem with him owning salford and mandy owning us

the hetheringtons' have done it in the past with us and leeds

Either he sells us or he appoints a CEO, those are the options.

I expect at first at least we will get a statement similar to the one we got about Sheffield Wednesday, that he isn't in for any money and it will be his day job blah blah blah!! however what is effectively a CEO of a Club like that will take up a lot of his time and is a lot different to an advisors rule at Sheffield Wednesday.

She nearly bought Bradford last year.

Wonder if Mrs K will take over at Salford to allow the outspoken Dr. to take the reigns at FC. Guess that would put the Noble rumours to bed as well.

Official statement from Leed Utd

Reckon he will stay and bring in a CEO, hopefully an external appointment with some rugby background.

I think that's the most likely outcome. Hopefully his appointment at Leeds means he's found the person he wants to be our CEO.

My sources tell me that negotiations ongoing, AP had enough, deal to be done in 2 months.

AP not putting in another bean, the week Hudders beat us, the players got paid 3 days late. Hence he cant afford to pay Radders off.

Clarky runs the show now, AP not doing much

Little thing ref the Heritage fund also - When we bought out passes, you could add £2 I think it was, toward the fund, for the 150th year events. I've been told the fund isnt, at the moment used for that.

Tanya Arnold tweeting Adam is still committed to Hull FC as we expected!

He'll probably promote an inexperienced assistant.

I'd expect him to say that but does anyone really believe (even trust) him anymore. His actions over recent times seem to suggest he's be pre-occupied with anything other than this club.
