Quite!

Spot-on post.

Indeed. Most if not all RL chairmen have primary business interests that aren't their RL club, right? Why should AP doing the same be any different? We do need a CEO though.

In one way it's good news as he will be paid well for his new role, which will ease the burden at Hull .

He stresses a number in times in the Mail that he remains committed to Hull and I see no reason to doubt him.

He'll be on a fair wedge plus, no doubt, large incentives for promotion so can only be good news for us. Hopefully we'll get a decent ceo and pearson can continue as a speccy

Rob Burrow.

owner looking happy at the wedge of cash for appearing in a final shocker, like he's suppose to look sullen..jeez, people still don't get it do they!
He is no more concerned about the club than any other business that he has his finger in, except this one he lost control which was all down to him yet blamed everyone else to try cover his own mistakes/inadequacies.

Says in the mail he won't rush in to the decision about getting a CEO in, that's a bad move IMO the club badly needs someone with RL knowledge and contacts in the club

Agreed. Maybe cash is short with lower gates.

Better to wait and get the right person rather than rush and appoint the wrong one.

I noticed Radio Humberside were asking plenty of questions and prodding and poking from every negative angle during last nights sportstalk. Insistent they weren't mischief making but went on to ignore the fact all club owners have other business interests. It was just a blatant piece of trouble causing and doing their best to sensationlise something they don't have the facts about.
It's a crying,pathetic shame they don't operate the same standards of journalism when scrutinising Mr Allams dealings and actions,choosing to sit back and wait for the full facts,and then when it's not what they want to hear just blank it out.
I only listened to it by chance and left it on for the cup draw but it certainly reminded me why i stopped listening to it a long time ago.

you think he'll reduce his pay at Hull?

Good lad is the head coach at Sheffield Wednesday.
My mate is Stu and a Withernsea lad to boot. He's done ok with them this season seeing as he hasn't had a penny to spend.
Hope the new owner and guys going in there give him a fair cracki of the whip and next season to push forward .

Spot on.

Spot on Wizeb. Stu was a good player and he's doing a decent job at Wednesday as you say. He used to live two doors away from me in Withernsea so knew the family quite well.

Think you've misunderstood what AP is planning. He sees Motu Tony as the guy with the RL knowledge and contacts that you mention. He's only looking for a CEO to take responsibility for the commercial side of the club.

Quote ="weaver93"Judging by Pearson's recent appointments, wouldn't shock me IF he assigned his role to an existing employee's duties... Take your pick... www.hullfc.com/page.aspx?p=1208'" Agreed. As I mentioned in my previous thread his MO has always been to micro-manage, which high calibre big hitters wouldn't accept. The tendancy is therefore to appoint inexperienced people who are happy to have little autonomy and as an added bonus come cheap. That line up of "Directors" is shocking. Not meaning to be hard on them but they don't have the experience at a senior level to warrant being Directors of the club.

Their listing is massive but on the board it's Lenegan, Radlinski and an FD, plus one non Exec from DW Sports. Who does the sales pitches for sponsorship and manages the finances at FC? Commercial/operations side looks a big gap to me. www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=4

Spot on,
Sarah McAllister was an events catering manager for 7 years (AT THE KC) before becoming a 'director' having previously worked in hotels..Barely any outside experience within her field, no suggestion of qualifications on her resume.

James Clark, glorified DJ cum Journalist (ok that's meant as a joke), he holds a degree in media, marketing & journalism and a BA Hons in digital media, a 'director' he is not however, narrow band of experience before joining FC and nothing that suggests he is qualified for the role within the size of organisation that he holds a fair portion of the reigns for.

Richard Munsen, another newbie with little experience and a very narrow employment history, he might have gone to Hull University but it appears he didn't complete a degree course??

That's your directors in a nutshell, on the cheap ever so slightly springs to mind, add in Pearson & it's hardly surprising we are not as hot as we should be in some areas and that's being polite tbh.

Measure twice, cut once as an old tailor told me, under Pearson we hardly get the measuring stick out, make a cut, go by emotion and cut again..and again..

Kirkfield council estater like all the top men.

That's us, although I left in 1975 so wouldn't have a clue who lives there now.

And Pearson said he was happy with the current BOD



Another example of him being clueless

Richard Munson has left the Club and taken up a similar situation under James Rule at Widnes

Asolutely agree.
Judging by his recent statement `we are very stable at the minute both behind the scenes & on the field'
This coming from a guy who preached mediocrity wasn't an option!
Does anyone ever show him the league table.
