at least some of our players seem to be making a name for themselves

"The Dons hit back with a contender for their try of the season. Miloudi somehow managed to evade two Newcastle players after collecting a kick over the line and weaved his way past several more before finding winger Jack Sanderson just before the halfway line and he cut inside his marker and then left the cover for dead".

Pearson's promises of silverware were met with derision, yet he delivered.

What annoys me a little is that Radford was patronising the fans a couple of weeks ago in radio and tv interviews by saying that because we had lost 4 on the bounce we wanted the squad ripping apart and new faces. Now, that is what may happen. The fans could see on game day the lack of effort and desire from certain players, we could see that some of the players are maybe just too injury prone now and next year needed some fresh faces.

Adam Pearson isn't stupid. He knows that there is no way he can deliver on what he came out with on Friday. It just isn't feasible. He is trying to get a reaction out of his players. I actually think that it will work and you will beat Castleford on Friday night. Then he can come out and say that pride and faith has been restored, thus enabling him to continue with this squad into 2019.

Very true. He's delivered more in 7 years as FC owner than we achieved in the previous 20 odd. I think we all understand and enjoy Rovers fans coming on here and making ludicrous predictions that Cas with Gale are easybeats for our crocked and frankly awful team currently; a well-worn attempt to create some sort of negative overlay to an already disappointing situation when we are are beaten, and on tv too - hurrah! The reality is that we'll lose, and it will make not a jot of difference. We'll still be secure in SL and we'll still have the promise of action over the close season.

I actually posted as much on Twitter on Friday evening so will see what happens

Its good to hear that Wilf but its third tier R/L

Your right Adam Pearson isnt stupid.
He will deliver what he said.It wasnt just a rant to get a reaction.

Based on what, he has pretty delivered on everything he has promised so far, he said he would make us contenders and within a few years he help us achieved something no one had ever done, twice in fact. In maybe took longer than expected and there is no doubt he has made mistakes, but Peasron certainly isn't full of hot air.

I fully expect him us to make some signings, maybe not as many as I 4 but there will be signings.

I wouldn't swap Pearson for nay other owner.

Pearson makes a statement and you read between the lines and know what he really meant. The players however will see the statement as a threat to their jobs and so improve their performance?

Well unless they're as thick as you appear to be then, of course, they'll up their performances. Do you think they actually want to lose their job.

If it takes that sort of threat to galvanise them into action then there is no hope for them as professional sportsmen. Radford must be very pleased with the quality of his signings.

Glad to see that you are running true to form and manage to get your personal insult in your post. It’s always nice to see you react. You are so predictable.

Glad to oblige.

Pearson seems to be telling prospective new signings that whatever terms are agreed they don't really mean anything, he will rip up their contracts should he ever feel like it. Why would anyone sign for a club that does that?

It will be interesting to see who leaves but I don't know why anyone should agree without substantial settlement. Abdull has probably been too honest he should have waited to be sacked and collected a pay off.

Adam Pearson is as culpable as anyone else if indeed Hull have awarded long contracts to players who they now don't want. In truth this happens to every club at times what you shouldn't do is announce to the world who the slackers are and then hope someone will pay good money for them. Especially if you have already spent their wages on others.

Radford is right the next few weeks will be long & difficult but they will pass. Next season will arrive everyone will be on nil points and Hull will have pretty much the same squad IMO. And the vast majority of fans will have renewed their season tickets.

But hey I am just a Rovers troll just like when I told you that your problems were far deeper than a few injuries. Adam Pearson at least, now agrees with that.

And why should we believe some dobbin piece of who has been conspicuous by his absence over the last 2 years and has only just popped up now like a turd from a blocked drain?

F.C. must be really proud to have such an eloquent individual as a supporter.

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... ll-1966921 Looks like Pearson's clear the decks takes another twist. He wants to get rid of players but only if someone pays the club a transfer fee, I thought expecting players just to walk away from legally binding contracts was pushing it a bit, expecting another club to pay for the privilege is almost laughable. Looks like Donny will have a decent side next year.

But Hull and Radford wnat to keep Abdul, we don't actually want rid, so they are demanding a fee, quite right IMO.

Same as can't just release players we don't want, we have to either hope they find a club or pay them off, it's a two way street.

I'm pretty sure that Pearson and Radford will get rid of the players they want too, players like Abdul, Talanoa will find other clubs quite easily, it just might still cost Perason to pay them off a bit to make up the gap in wages.

The article is about Abdull wanting to leave, a player who Hull have invested in for many years.
They've even recently offered him a 2 year contract extension.
Absolutely nothing to do with breaking legally binding contracts.
It's your post that is laughable, I guess you've never heard of transfer fees before.

Being a Dobbin, he probably thinks players are queuing up to jump ship and join them for nowt a la Paul Cooke.

They maybe did want to keep him but according to their statements no longer want to do so if he wants away. A view apparently shared by some supporters. It is natural to reject a player who has rejected their club. According to most posts he had been rubbish anyway this season. Last year posts were thanking us for developing an F.C. player. Tim Sheens did and he showed that even against super league clubs. I wonder why he has not developed further this season. He seems to have gone backwards under the Radford regime

Glad to see it still niggles even after all this time.

He couldnn't get a game with sneyd, connor and kelly playing then he got injured and missed most of teh season so what do you expect him to do? The club obviously rate him and the supporters' view is irrelevant. Hull wanted him to stay so it's natural they would hold out for a fee for him

I don’t expect him to do anything as I have no interest in where he plays. I was merely commenting on his apparent lack of development since returning to your club. The supporters view may be irrelevant from a contract and playing point of view but is interesting how their view of him has changed over the past 12 months. Still I suppose supporters are a fickle lot as they want half the team sacking.,

He has potential, he has been given an opportunity but he hasn't taken it, it's ok standing out against the likes of Widnes, Halifax and London but harder to do it against the better teams, I can hardly remember him creating an opportunity since he returned from injury.

I still think he could be a good SL player, but he needs to find his bestvppsition and I think a year or two in the championship would do him good.

Shame it hasn't worked out, but I don't think Hull can blamed for him not developing yet
