My comments about controlling the KC were badly worded, my sentiments where if Pearson wanted to get away from Allam buying FC would still mean he had direct involvement with him via the SMC.

tbf, i'd rather stick my money under my bed rather than a bank with the pittance you get in interests

One thing AP will not do is "play" at it, if he feels he needs expert advice/guidance then he will go out and get it, I would not be surprised to see McRae back at the club in a D.O.R role.

(not saying I think he is the right person, but he is available)

So is Nobby...though he is presently getting paid to advise halifax & crusaders.

"Control - the act of restricting, limiting or managing something" I'd say he definitely 'manages' the running of the SMC. Maybe your getting mixed up with owns or fullly controls? He definitely has some hand in runnig the SMC, albeit with said frameworks/agreements restricting him.

Iknow he knows little about the game, agents, players etc. He may bring in a DOR but AP has less knowledge than the likes of Kath.

Even if he does have less knowledge not sure what difference this would make...Kath may have the knowlege but her knowledge has not stopped the mess we are now in on the pitch has it ?

you really think people like AP become multi-millionaires and invest in business that they know nothing about, you really see no synergy at all between being a director,ceo, part owner of a football side and a rugby side?

and what, precisely, does Kath "know", she has contacts, contacts are easily gained when you have charisma, charm, and a few million in your back pocket.

anyway, this is in danger of becoming a pointless argument amongst fans of FC, once we know the details then we are in a better position to debate it, as it stands none of us know all the facts, so lets just all take a breath...

The very same Burns who said City would be in administration by midnight, and then less than 2 hours before they got took over by Allam?

Lock this thread

Aye....39 minutes to go

Good point



Where's ICM by the way?

We've already got moderators thank you

Bye-Bye Jimmy.

no point owning a dog and barking yourself, is there.

Why go for Noble? If he is serious about taking us forward...Swain ? Kearney ?

I doubt it I reckon he'll still be involved.

Business comes to a standstill in Hull !....Staff glued to their computers on the FC Board

I have no probelm if he is, he has done a decent job in that area.

In the words of a Pointer Sister - " I'm so excited"

Agar must go , MUST and the Club may well then appoint a world class coach

AP is no fool and has learnt a lot of lessons in Sport business

What is Swianeys coaching record like ?

I think short-term it's looking fantastic.

Long-term who know's, but I'm sure it won't take long to know the motives and plan (future) of our beloved club.

When I woke up this morning and read the HDM headlines, I said to the miss's today will either be a bright day, or a dark dark in the history of Hull F.C

I'm hoping it's a bright day!

Cover all bases Dobbo.
