even though AP said there would be no merger, and he would see three seperate clubs being the case "forever and a day"

Only stirring it a bit mate, it came to me when AP said about all 3 boards having ideas and would be better if all 3 worked together with synergy, he also mentioned Hudge in that remark.

I've just realised, Carpet said "I know you have a flight to catch...." maybe AP is on his way to Aus for our new coach??

Just because he said it doesn't make it true. Just remember the things Lloyd and Wilby told us. Its more down to the fact that someone mentioned something early this week (cant find thread) and now this comes from left field.

I trust AP, he is a man of his word.

Who knows how far he's in Allams pocket (none of us).

It's a done deal now though so we've gotta roll with it.

I like AP, he's a stand-up sort of guy.

I'm glad he said those things and am encouraged by it. He has a good track record of honesty and that is what gives me the most to be cheerful about. I'm not going to wring my hands all day worrying. It'll take 12 months to convince me with actions that we're heading in the right direction under the new ownership. Ideally his ties with City will become weaker and weaker and eventually be broken. Interesting times ahead but I can remember the unbridled joy around the place when Lloyd took over the club and will tread carefully with my own views until I see for certain that the only thing AP is in this for is success for Hull FC.

He realises the potential the club could achieve , Something the others couldn't do .

Well I for one, wouldn't go and watch!

Very impressed with AP statement on club web site, is fantastic news for all concerned, finally someone with a bit of drive and ambition, cannot wait for next season now, if he does as well for us as he did for City we wont go far wrong!!

to compare AP with Lloyd is really being disrespectful to AP, he wont break links with City, and nor should he, he isn't coming in to run the club, he is leaving it to senior management to do that, he simply owns us and will give us a single vision, a single ambition, a single voice and a single figure head, James will be allowed to run the business so long as he meets targets, we may even see an improvement on he field as the influence of the BOD will be much less, we certainly won't have Kath and her numerous agendas scuppering things.

brilliant news, very excited about the future

im going to show my ignorance here,i dont know if its been mentioned earlier but what are the EBT payments to players..leading to significant potential tax liability..that he mentioned?? sorry if it already been brought up!

i'm guessing it is something to do with off shore payments when the likes of berrigan would get tax free money

I didn't compare him directly to Lloyd and unlike yourself I'm rarely if ever disrespectful to anyone.

I compared the situation with a new owner coming in and I stand by my comments. No one wants success for the club more than me and I hope AP can deliver it.

Plus AP's Mrs will be a lot more pleasant to look at in the West rather than Uncle Kath.

Wondered if we'll still be able to get our Leeds youngsters on loan at will?

Do AP get asked about the KC and any alternative stadia plans?

or even play our own!

As a occasional poster on this board(very occasional looking at my post count),i just had to add my thoughts on this development.

First off,it's fantastic news.Pearson is probably the sole reason City are the club they are today.Without Pearson they probably wouldn't have been a KC stadium,or Premier league football for City.He is honest,hard-working,excellent with the media and has a drive and ambition the previous BOD at FC clearly didn't possess.He doesn't suffer fools and is incredibly professional.

Those thinking there's a link,or some separate agenda involving the Allams are deluded.Pearson is his own man,this purchase will have been totally independant from anything involving his role at City,and besides,if Allam wanted a stake in FC,he wouldn't go through someone else to obtain it.....why would he??....Why wouldn't the BOD not sell to him???

Anyway,i'm digressing slighty.I think the countdown clock is now ticking on Agar too,which is no bad thing either.

This is absolutely fantastic news. Finally we have an owner with the drive to be the best but who can also run it as a successful business too. This is the news ive been waiting years for and means that we sould be challenging Wigan and Wire for top within a couple of years. Im off to put my FC shirt on!



Welcome Adam!!!!

Steady Seb.

You'll be wanting us to win on Sunday next.

Yet sold Hull City to Duffen? Also, his choices in managers are questionable - Peter Taylor was obviously a good manager but what about Phil Parkinson, (debatedly) Phil Brown, Jan Molby, .

Maybe the BOD wouldn't sell to Allam because of his questionnable conduct and comments about Hull FC with regards to the stadium and mergers?
