Foregive me but was it not part of our movement to the KC that we sold the HCC the Boulevard .
Our friends Hull City never had a ground to sell .

So should we not have more say in stadium than them or is my old mind playing tricks

I know, but just trying to be logical about it. Impossible I know

Well done HCC. Mr allam your bluff is called.

Can't remember exact details but I think SOLD is the key word. I hope the people I bought my house off don't think there entitled to a stake in my other property



So I'm guessing they recieved no money for it

Why is nobody calling Adam Pearson a 'loon' when he apparently wants exactly the same as Allam?

Bertie/Andy asked exactly the same question on the other board, and in the early hours too. Odd.

Maybe it's because he's not a "loon"?

Hull fairs novelty toy this year.... very topical

I am sorry, maybe it's me who is missing something, but it seems there is a reluctance to comment on Pearson's position here.

For what it's worth, I too believe Allam is a 'loon' and do not believe for a second that he should be allowed anywhere near the ownership of the KC Stadium. It would be a disaster for Hull FC in every sense and I totally share the fans' concern.

That said, I totally understand why Hull City fans are distraught that their owner and benefactor will now be unable to take the club to 'the next level'.

What I fail to understand is why - given the diametric opposition of the two clubs fans' on the issue - does the Hull FC owner of all people stand 'shoulder-to-shoulder' with Allam on wanting to drive through his private ownership plans?

It is a truly bizarre situation and, until Pearson breaks his ties with Hull City and the Allam's, the suspicions over his FC ownership motives will linger!

Have you ever spoken out publicly against your employer?

Yup.

A life.

Three days...three different threads...and not even a serious attempt to explain Adam Pearson's position of supporting the Allams on Stadium ownership!

Are people genuinely mystified?

Not mistified at all

Whatever Pearson I'm sure it's for the good of the the club he owns.

Pearson has done more than enought of earn the trust of FC fans.

Fair enough.

But, if the 'trusted' Pearson is singing off the same hymnn sheet, why the hysterical outcries over what Allam is attempting to do?

Firstly he's doing what any employee would do back his boss in public.

What he is saying to the press he's saying with full knowledge that the council are unlikely to change their position on the sale of the KC on Allams terms.

You also have too consider the fact that Pearson knows the terms of our lease at the KC and more than likely will know that Allam has very little if any chance of removing Hull FC from the KC if the unlikely event of Allam managing to actually gaining ownership happened...

Head of Football Operations for Hull City in supporting the idea of his employers in radio interview shocker!!!





In all seriousness what do you expect him to say when asked to go on the radio as a City representative?? He has probably looked at it and seen at present there is no way the project will get the go ahead in the near future (possibly even distant future) so nothing wrong with agreeing with the idea of a sporting complex.

If Pearson started rambling on about it like Assem Allam in such an incoherent way then maybe and only then would I start to worry slightly, but for now he has done nothing to worry me about.

It was clear by what Burnsey said afterwards that Pearson was 'Sent' by Allam! he's his blooming employer?

Then nows the time for Pearson to step away from City, imo. I said right from the off conflict of interests and this whole debacle has just proved that.

Why is it a conflict of interests? nothings happened or likely to happen.

Under this Labour Council - but the Lib Dems would have sold the KC tomorrow if they could. I would much prefer our owner to concentrate soley on Hull FC right now. Its a new business venture for him and would much have him focused on RL than both teams.

Strategically, it is better for pearson to stay in situ at city where he has allam's ear and, no doubt, some influence

Hmmm, maybe I've got this wrong and Pearson is staying at City for a reason ........

irony meter goes off the scale. Someone with nearly 30,000 posts on an internet forum??

it's gonna be a long close season

Allam does himself no favours with the comments he has come out with over that last 18 months. He has shown his word is not to be taken after saying he would not invest in either rugby club then a few months later loaning Rovers 1M. Other comments like us costing him money by playing at the stadium, which he then contradicts by saying he wants us there if he gets the stadium.
Thos type of comments are why he is called a Loon. When Pearson spoke about the stadium it sounded like a completely different plan because he is articulate and knows what to say and what not to say.
I still have reservations about Pearson and will continue to do so whilst he works for Allam. Also after the Lloyd affair I am always sceptical about any owners, luckily whilst the ground is not owned by rugby or football club owners we have a good safety net at least.
