I understood why he sold Hull City, but the fact he sold it to such a moron is alarming and contradicts the statement he doesn't suffer fools. Could he end up selling us to a businessman who is willing to put our entire club into jeopardy?

It was Colchester, he did have a good record however by a good chairman is all about selecting the 'correct people' for the job - Pearson only managed this once IMO.

I sure as hell hope he is a success, the blind faith in him is worrying though.

Guessing you haven't being on here in a while? You need to update your signature pal.

Hopefully the plane he had to catch, was for a trip to Aus to go get us a new coach. Daniel Anderson (wishful thinking) may be interested seeing as his brother in law is at KR (for the time been) and fancies even more bragging rights when Hull and KR play each other

Great news,hopefully adam will steer the club to greater things,Adam worked with hull ex players and was quite good when we moved from the boulevard,fingers crossed

Absolutely delighted by this news. Made my weekend already!!

Hoping we can top off this news with a ending of the rot against Leeds.

see all the usual doom and gloom merchants are painting a black picture, i really do wonder what these people get there rocks off on,will there be creaming in there socks if we get beat sun? anyway to me if true looks a good think for fc, always liked pearson seems a good guy,but lets see how things pan out.........right lets get that shirt washed for sunday............COME ON UUUUUUUUUUUUU UULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Players?

Not likely, we can only buy british now as we have no overease spots and there are not tonnes of british players with quality going spare.

Just a thought will he actually be at the game on Sunday as he's not mentioned it nor was he asked by Carpet on Humberside.

Think at present from what he has said it looks the best for Hull FC to have a new owner, as seems the old BOD couldnt agree on how to take the club further and were in a stalemate.



Here's hoping for the success on the field at long last.

Best news we've had for years.

Pearson will instill an ethos that will run right down through the club and will have the drive and passion to help us realise what we can achieve.

No more mediocrity

As the great Stu Francis said "i could crush a grape"!!! Dreams do come true afterall!

He's made mistakes,as he's readily admitted in the past,but overall the good far outweighs the bad....he needed extra investment in the club when he sold his interests to Duffen/Bartlett in 2007,that was the plan.Duffen messed up whilst the club was in the Prem,long after Pearson had gone....

Brown got City into the Premier League,making him the most successful manager in the club's history.

And as far as Allam is concerned,a lot of the comments regarding mergers were in relation to his beneficial nature in regards to Hull's sporting teams ("i couldn't buy one club without buying the other" etc) and were taken out of context.His loan to Rovers was an example of that.Anyway,he'd be under no illusion if he tried to purchase the club of it's history,significance to the community and it's identity......but i doubt the previous regime wouldn't have held back in selling him the club on the back of some quotes delivered off the cuff during an interview....

Some of the paranoia exhibited on this board in relation to Allam is alarming.

WELCOME ADAM PEARSON NICE INTERVIEW ON RADIO HUMBERSIDE YOU SAID THE CROWDS ARE DOWN 2000 A GAME AND YOU WANT THEM FANS BACK WELL IT DOES NOT TAKE A NASA EMPLOYEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO

I reckon the atmopshere will be great on Sunday...New beginnings






COME ON U ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLA

Yep , But room will have to be made if we are going to bring in those "couple of class players " he was targeting .

If Allam had wanted it he would have bought it, he has more disposable wealth than Pearson, do you think Kath & co would have cared who bought it, no all they watned was to sell.

Love the consiparcy theories though

You "crush the grapes" and i'll "rip the tissues"

of for the feel good factor, long may it continue

We'll have to wait and see I guess. Hope it pans out for the best - hope I won't be able to bring this thread back up like I could have the Agar or Gleeson thread and say 'told you so'.

On to Sunday now, Come on you ulllll

anyone got a doll's house?

Some of us remember the club at its worst under Lloyd and Wilby so excuse us for not wanting to get our fingers burned again.. Once bitten and all that.

Have to say the more I think about it the more I have to agree in that Assem Allam seems to thrive in the public attention and his ego wouldn't let anyone else get the glory and adulation of buying a club and being a silent owner.

You mean like Agar and Moa falling out hence why he wouldn't sign his new contract

Moa is here for the next year....the question is will agar be here for another year

Glad i'm not the only one who thinks this...

@HWS i understand that,but Allam hasn't done anything in my eyes to warrant the attitude some people have on here,and anyway,he has no involvement at FC,only it's neighbours...

Why? Do you feel like jumping off one Standee

As I have said, the two are not comparable, Lloyd was a chancer, always had been, AP is an established business man. The negativity astounds me, maybe people would have been happier muddling along under Kath and the other unambitious BOD.
