“The chronic lack of cash investment in recent years has meant the club has fallen behind a number of their rivals, who in reality, with respect to the size of the club, crowds, the quality of the KC Stadium and the huge history and tradition that surrounds this club, should be nowhere near matching the success of Hull FC. This will now be immediately addressed and the attention required to achieve such status will now be given to all areas and aspects of the club without further delay.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club.

It's a great statement of intent and gives me further confidence that we are now in good hands.

I'm delighted to see Pearson state clearly that 8th is not acceptable - whereas previousy the club would be claiming a play off place was an achievement.

AP is the man

Its starting to feel as exciting as the early 80s. The one thing that I hope this period has over the 80s is that I suspect the club will also be run financially sound.

Certainly everyone employed by the club will be in no doubt about what Adam expects. Failure I hope will not be an option.

Fantasic statement.

I have always liked him.

But he is getting more and more of my admiration the more he is involved with this great club.

Very excited about the next few years under AP.

It brings a tear to your eyes. Finally an owner with passion like ours

Stirring stuff from AP,











Just shows, how much the club was run on a shoestring.


Exciting times ahead!!







Well said Sir Adam!!!

IN ADAM WE TRUST

I'm starting to get a little man crush on Adam. I hope he's as good as his word.

Please don't wake me up from this dream!



Fantastic words and, unlike with the old regime, I actually believe he means it.

AP for Prime Minister.

Meh. We heard this sort of stuff all the time from Kath.



Seriously, how great is this sort of statement of intent, already being backed up by significant action? Wow.

His comments fill me with a warm glow and make me realise that AP is the right man for Hull FC and the fans.

It's a far cry from the 'exciting' race for 8th that's for sure. I keep wondering if it'll all go tits up somewhere down the line. All the optimism was slowly drained out of me by the previous regime and a few of them before that. This is the first time in my memory that we've had someone with the right vision and, seemingly, the capacity to deliver that vision. It's almost like it's too good to be true!

Awesome statement and just shows what hetherington was doing to the club

I could draw quite a graphic illustration to show what Kath was doing to the club.

One thing is for sure!!!!

If it goes 'tits up'.

You can bet your bottom dollar,that AP will swing the axe.

Mediocrity will no longer be tolerated at this club!!!

Ill echo that. All those who said Kath was running the club well are being shown the truth now.

Thats some statement of intent, think he's also having a go at our previous owners lack of investment in the club.

Really makes a change to have an owner who actually wants the same as the fans.

I did find it funny that alongside that article you have an advert about personlising gifts from the Fc shop with a piece of a jigsaw with Rangi Chases face on it, someone at the club has an ironic sense of humour considering all the rumours about him

Best thing iv ever seen on the FC website, honest statement and really makes us feel part of this amazing club!

This one will do for now

And i got slated for my Cash Cow article in the HDM



All hail Lord Faulkener

I've just cried in public.

Couldnt have written it better my self, what a fantastic statement, all hail the KING!!!
