If we're taking Pearson's word as unbreakable to even the tiniest extent, then [url=http://www.hullfc.com/article/18194/adam-pearson-on-takeoverhere[/url, he says

"James Rule ... done an excellent job rebuilding the club and ensuring financial stability. James will remain in charge of our club as Chief Executive and continue to be completely responsible for the new era of development at the KC stadium."

A few months later, he was sacked. Was Pearson lying when he took over the club, the stinking liar?

If he said in July that things would be done in Septmeber, do you not think some factors affecting that could have intervened in the 6 weeks or so since then? Hardly makes him a liar, does it?

And in any case the first week of September hasn't ended yet, so we're all getting flustered for nothing.

If the players we've signed have requested we keep it under wraps until they've finished their commitments with their present clubs what is he supposed to do?

If it's not sunny at both 9:00am and 10:00am in Hull tomorrow morning then the BBC weather forecasters are liars too!

Yep.

I'm not going to the Grand Final, so if anyone sees me there, you have my permission

No he did not.

Well i dont know the man anymore than anyone else does on here but over the years I have learned one thing about AP and that he is most certainly not a liar to my knowledge.
Shrewd, cut throat, and at times savage in his management style but a liar??? NO and i think its a tad nieve to state that IMO.

A while back he mentions the first week of September and hey plans changed SO WHAT???
an old military saying goes "all battle plans only survive the first point of contact then you think on your feet as you go forward based on experience" and that my friend is very relevant to AP and his plans, they changed so he changed with them
A Liar??? I doubt it,
FC through and through now??? given his own cash he is spending I expect so mate!!

Laughable, isn't it?

Apologist.



I blame quotadexing. And licensing - but I blame everything on licensing at the moment.

Only Hull (some) fans could get this worked up over the club taking time to announce signings.

What's the big deal? Other than it being slightly frustrating at not knowing for certain the identity of the signed players, what's to get worked up over really? Some of you lot really will moan at anything - what a fickle bunch.

Hull are investing heavily in their squad and infrastructure at a time when many other clubs are in financial difficulties. Be patient and enjoy it.

Wow, great post

someone else wrote it for him

Now what have I told you about laughing at your own jokes?

Im also frustrated that nothing has been announced this week. But what we got to realise is they still going to be coming, so no need to panic. And is it only me who is happy with the Kyle Amor signing if it comes off? He is one of the main reasons that Wildcats have a crack at the play offs

Did he know about the drugs case then?

Did he know there might be delays now, with players wishes perhaps needing to be respected?

He said they'd already signed but they couldn't be announced until after the deadline, seems to me he'd have known then of any player wishes. It's after the 1st so we can announce who we want (OOC).

I'll retract the word liar and replace it with naively mis-lead if it makes people feel better.

Why are you so bothered?

And you sir are an over hysterical big girls blouse.

Just chill out, if they've signed and in the bag when does it matter when they're announced. AP doesn't have to satisfy you're every whim, its his club and he can announce them when he likes, its no big deal its not stopped me buying a pass.

As for Pearson's comments in July he said



He doesn't explicitly say that all the signing will be announced on 4th September or in the first week of September.

I guess like his comments regarding the number of signings what he said is open to interpretation.

It's really not worth getting our knickers in a twist over.

Absolutely unacceptable. I don't care [iwhat[/i the players want or their contracts say, I [idemand[/i that their names are announced [iimmediately[/i. Or at very latest by midnight on Sunday. And I will jolly well [ihold my breath[/i until I'm [iblue in the face[/i if they aren't. So there.

OUTRAGEOUS.

There will be hell on in one household in East Hull after reading that article.

Then don't naively say they will be announced the first week in September, sorted.

I'm not, really.

As I've said on numerous occasions I'd rather we announced them once our own season was finished.

Just funny that people don't think AP was being a little mis-leading in his words.
