Adam Pearson has left Leeds United.

Interesting that Cellino has stated that Adam will always have his support.

Good that he's left on good terms and not got a horses head in his bed!



Positive news for us though, as surely this means either he genuinely does just want to focus on us, or that his finances have somehow improved (rumours suggested he needed a consultants job after losing a lot in his divorce)

Fair to say Leeds Utd fans are very disappointed.

On the same day Allam says he'll sell for £2m....

Primarily, from a personal perspective, as it leaves Cellino running the show again.

I wonder if something really is happening with city/SMC, and AP needs to be closer to the action?

I am thinking, thats £2m, plus the loans outstanding to him from the company (which will be well over £50m?)

or to play devils advocate, is AP coming back to try and find a buyer for FC?

well he's never really gone away so i doubt that is the reason. more likely to have something to do with city, we'll know more in the near future

if he's serious about a break from a football team he could always get involved at newcastle united

Wouldnt surprise me to see Pearson and friends try to buy Hull City.
it would be a good move to be in control of FC, Hull City and the SMC.
2 Million to buy and a scheduled loan repayment to Allam is not beyond Adam and his business friends.

I agree, and it is not out of the question they will return to the Premier League, the squad is a lot younger and more valuable than the one they had when they were relegated last time. Even if they failed to win promotion there's a few players to sell off to balance the books.

Yeah, except only an idiot would pay £50m for a championship football club with no tangible assets

Scheduled loan repayment over several years plus interest is also a good way of Allam recovering his money.
It would be a bit of a gamble for Pearson but on the basis promotion is a good possibility with the squad they have now i think Adam has something up his sleeve here.
he has left a position at Leeds which will have given him a lucrative salary and possibly other benefits if they were promoted so there has to have been a conflict of interest meaning he needed to leave.
Putting two and two together with Allams latest interview it would make sense.

I hope he does buy them but you'd have to be really stupid or really rich to spend £50m+ on a club with no premier league status and no assets

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest he's left. Nothing lasts long in the circus that LUFC has become.

Sponsors leaving because of the merger.............

I really wish he'd stop making statements like "We don't feel any squad is better than what we've got next year with the investments in recruitment we have made, to add to the squad we already have and the young players coming through." As it always comes back to bite him/us

We've made some good signings next year, but it's a big jump to state that the squad is better than the likes of Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Hudds who have topped the table for years, and Catalan and Wire are having a major shake up of their squads too. Best squad we've had since he took over the club would be a better description IMO

So sponsors have withdrawn because of the academy merger - nice one Adam, thats worked really well then

I think the 2017 city of culture comment is a lazy copout from the club as well we should be working with the 2017 bid team to draw sponsors in not fearing it. Saints, Wire and Widnes all got sponsorship out of Liverpool when they won it. Also why aren't we approaching Siemens and the related companies that will come with it? Hull hasn't had this much invstment in decades!

Good that he's coming back in to steer the ship through stormy waters. The Academy merger appears to be a big mistake and extra effort will be needed to overcome the fallout. But sponsorship was reducing way before that was ever announced - as the economy picks up and local investment follows it it's vital that the club is out there in force getting a slice. Hopefully Pearson himself is the best man to achieve that.

You can't really compare Liverpool's European City of Culture with Hull's UK City of Culture.
What were the deals Saints, Wire and Widnes got, I must admit they have slipped my mind?
"We haven't approached Siemens" - you seem to know a lot about what the club isn't doing.
