It's APs club so he can do what he wants but I'm not sure anything good has ever come from a club owner/chairman going into a dressing room after a defeat and reading everyone in there the riot act.

Will probably only comment if it's confirmed independently that he did otherwise it might just be RLFANS bull.

I was told it happened earlier, if true then i'm fine with it. He has every right, how did the players react? Blamed the coach?

Maybe our owner didn't think long and hard enough before buying into the reality that is Hull FC?
Regrets.......Perhaps he's got a few.......But then again..........................................................

Cant say I agree with the subject title at all in this case re the content re the thread

However if AP did indeed storm in and storm out, good on him. He's the owner and fully entitled to do so.

AP has put out a tremendous amount of trust and money and saw zero in return for it yesterday.

If I had invested money into this shambles I would be looking at the small print for a get out clause.

What must Gaz Ellis be thinking?


I think he genuinely was sold on the [iphoenix from the ashes[/i dream.

I'd be asking my GP for a stronger prescription!

I reckon he's laughing all the way to the bank!

I think watching the last few games he will hurting as much as us and dying to get out there and grab us by the scruff of the neck.
We are missing a play maker yes but were missing a leader just as much

Alternatively he might be thinking, 'what the fook am I doing here'?

As we all are.

Just after AP bought the club and we got beat in the playoffs at Leeds. He made a statement that under his ownership the club would never again put in such an inept performance. Well in my eyes yesterday was worse. At least Leeds went on to win the grand final, Rovers are a shocking side. But at the moment are better than us

Gateshead are probably better than us at the mo.

It wasn't just Pearson, Gentle laid into the squad as well. He isn't the push over people want to believe, far from it!!

This was alluded to by a player (can't remember which) a while back. PG's problem as he stated on radio after the game was that he has no option in terms of dropping players. The players themselves are generally full of **** in my opinion. Sick of reading how they're going to turn things around in the week and then they can't even perform the basics that pros should be able to do in their sleep.

Gentle is as frustrated as anyone mate, infact I'd say even more so. As you say he is limited in what he can do. People think because he is quite quiet to the media he's soft, but that isn't the case at all. Pearson and Gentle will get it right, I have no doubt in my mind.

The returneth of Icecreamman.

Haha, hope I'm not that bad mate!! I'm not a club preacher, just not a doom merchant.

So IF it did happen that Pearson went in and let off steam what does it solve..nuttin'. It doesn't really motivate people to do better, in fact it has a more harmful effect. Just because rugby players are tough physically doesn't make them tough mentally. That they've been playing the way they have injuries or no it's pretty clear that they were defeated before they even got onto the pitch, that is the problem that needs adressing more than any other.

It really doesn't do any good whatsoever for an owner (especially one with with Pearson's history) to go wading in

Maybe the owner is more concerned with the mental state of the fans than the team.

it would do me the world of good if my boss was grilling me because i was under performing id do everything in my power to put it right and show him how valuable i was at the end of the day hes the boss he employs this team and the coach if he feels they are constantly getting it wrong he steps in and gives them a piece of his mind put a bit of fear into them so they actually play like they want to win and succeed

For me AP has put too much focus on beating Leeds, hes forgot those little webbed fingered inbreads need 3 beatings a year too

id rather focus on beating leeds then rovers tbh we would get alot further beating leeds then we would focusing on rovers thats why alot of our fans annoy me forget about rovers we need to be mixing it with leeds saints wigan warrington and hudds

we should be focusing on who ever were playing next ...... wakey !!!!!!! COYH
