Question is who's Pearson loyalty with . Radford or the supporter's ?

you missed one off mate

Still think we'd beat saints, if saints played the way they did against Cas? I think you probably get my point now

It needs to be with the people who actually put money (and lots of it) into the club. A continuance of the present situation will see that income dropping rapidly. As a businessman I'm sure he understands the impact of diminishing returns.

I still think we'd have beaten Saints [ion that day[/i if Saints played the way they did against Cas [ion that day[/i. Which is the bit you can't get your head around.

Going on recent form we'd struggle against any pub team of your choice.

Chris, your post is one of the best ive seen on here and speaks for almost all the fans,simply brilliant.COYH.

Pearson will be 100% focused on his job with Leeds United. Think it will benefit FC if he sells up.

Great post and one you could have pulled out more or less anytime within the last couple of years .

Could the fans buy the club?

Some football clubs are owned by their supporters, why not ours?

Any of them in the Premiership?

Were not in the premiership though are we? We are in a different sport with a budget far far less than those clubs

But one thing we do know though with the mad owner of Leeds United that one is sure to end in tears

Any of them halfway merged with their arch rivals?



The fan ownership model seems to work well in the Bundesliga.

Ill buy it. I will go in with Mally Walker. I will put £5 in and he can do the rest. Sorted!

Isn't that how this merger will work too, Rovers put £5 in, we put in the rest?

We're in the Premiership of our sport. And budgets are relative. RL has smaller budgets because there's less money in the sport.

Great sentiments , but what are we going to do about it ?
Pearson has made his position clear .
His mishandling of the Club is coming home to roost now .
Even our much heralded Youth system is to be merged .
I didn't think I could feel any lower until last night .
Hull FC will disappear in the lower echelons, never to return.
If Pearson had acted months ago , this squad would have been in the top 6 .
Wakefield have realised that action was needed to survive , and planned accordingly.
Hull FC and our owner belligerently believe in what they are doing.
Dark days ahead indeed .

Superb post Chris and I'm sure we all wish we were capable of similar. I'm trying to remember feeling as despondent as last night and the only time that springs to mind was when we were 21-0 up in the cup (I think) against Swinton (again I think) when Len Casey was coach and we lost 22-21 (or similar). I'm afraid the years have affected my memory but the feeling was very similar. Last night reminded me of Headless Chickens.

Great letter Chris. I hope this has gone to the club although I suspect the response will be along the lines of he respects your opinion but Pearson is still backing Radford and planning for the long term.

Well said

I did post last year that we could end up in 2015 playing at home to Sheffield in front of 5000 fans.

The usual suspects poo pooed it of course

In my incredibly inexpert opinion, I think it's a potential option for Hull FC to be owned by the fans. Or maybe part owned.

With them not owning the stadium there's no big asset to buy so the club itself shouldn't be THAT expensive to buy. And I believe Hull have the potential to make a small profit or break even most years so there shouldn't be a need for continual owner investment in the club.

The tricky bit, of course, is organising it all and raising the funds.

I think it could be done.Cant be worth much anyway.
1000 pounds is not a lot of money nowadays.It would only take 5000 core supporters to invest 1000 pounds and that would be sufficient to take the club forward.
Share investment would be tied to the amount of money put in so if someone wanted to buy more than 1000 pounds worth of shares they could.
Its like everything in life it can normally be done but it would take several people to put in the work to start with.
If someone wants to contact Pearson and ask him if the club is for sale and how much.
Count me in anyway.

I don't think it's viable. Hull KR fans set up a Supporters Trust to eventually just get a seat on the board and don't think they achieved that. A takeover would be impossible to organise and even tougher to manage ongoing.

Outstanding letter, Chris. Brilliant sentiment shared by very many fans.

Nice words but Pearson has Radfords head so far up his harris that he he'll never read or believe them

Clubs F()()KED!
