| Although I reserve my judgement at present if Ellam had wanted it he would have bought it, in my opinion.
Folks will be suspitious but if it happens then we have an owner who has never done a single disshonourable act in all the years he has been in the City. We love our club so have to be concerned with his ties to the Allams but James Rule has built a sports club that is actually in the black and a good prospect all we need now is some success on the field and a ruthless approach to what goes on, on the field, Pearson has those qualities. He probabaly realises that with a strong attractive winning team we can match City's gates with a fraction of the overheads. If this happens he has to come out with a strong (un fuzzy) statement of intent and address those concerns if he is to get off on the right foot with the fans. We don't know the facts yet but the press will be digging for news today I just hope this announcement doesn't scupper the deal before it gets off the ground.
In the mean time I reserve my judgement.

allam stated he wouldn't buy one club without the other so can't buy us without completely contradicting himself.
pearson is a football man and there is no big money available in RL. Why would he want to buy a club in a sport he knows nothing about where there is very little potential to make any real money?
He's a front for allam

| As I see it, presently we have a board who I feel are taking the mickey out of the faithful, the are just happy to plod along ect....
Now if at some point Allam does get involved, so what he appears to be a man who is not short of a bob or 2 and not shy at throwing his money about..he may be mad but I can live with that, no madder than Kath imo.
We have a good set up now and we could hit the dizzy heights of the 80s on the playing field with the right people on board, I think it is exciting times ahead.

But there is potential to make money, we are a well supported club, however a few have stopped coming, sucess on the field will increase attendances plus winning silverware brings in the money.

| This could be a step in the right direction for the club and the supporters, although I am a little wary at the minute but like wilf says il reserve my judgement until the deal is done and the relevant parties are revealed.

| Not sure what to make of this news. Pearson seems okay but with his connections to the Allams that makes me nervous.
Are the current board so bad? Really? Okay most fans think we need a new coach but the recruitment has been good along with the willingness to pay transfer fees and the club is run very well off the field.
Maybe it's better the devil you know.

So you're happy for the man who has stated to the world that he wants to merge us and rovers to get involved in Hull?
allam buys hull city
allam states he wants the rugby clubs to merge
allam tries to pressurise the council into selling him the KC for a pittance
allam "gifts" hull kr £1m
allam's right hand man takes over Hull FC
If that makes you happy then you're more trusting than me

The only issue with the board is the fact they stick with agar
If they sold out to a lifelong Hull fan I'd be happy. Selling the club to the mad egyptian's right hand man sounds like a recipe for disaster to me

The current board are not that good, our sucess on the field and drop in attendances reflect that. We do not make a habit of paying transfer fees like the sucessful clubs do eg Wire...
I have mixed feelings about our signings, I would say gerenally they are good but we appear to favour age and injury prone players imo.
There is no reason or evidence to suggest Pearson would not run our club as well of the field as the present board do, the difference is he is not a man who accepts mediocracy.

| 4 or 5 years ago I would have thought it a brilliant idea, in the interim period he's walked away from City, only to come back when they were in the mire, he's presided over the Allams taking control and is, from the outside looking in, in their pocket. IF he's paid around £3m for the club then it is within his personal wealth to have done so, but I am not jumping with joy just yet.
One thing is for certain, if you can buy Hull FC for £3m then the loose change down the back of my sofa should pay half of what it would take to buy KR.

The Allams probably aren't involved - for now. If we hadn't been shafted over once already in similar fashion when Wilby arrived on the scene I might be less sceptical.

What like KR ?...personally I think selling to a passionate fan is a bigger risk, blinkers and all that.

Why does he not accept mediocrity? He has sacked the odd manager, wow. What success has he had in the last few years?
We are a well run club and with one right managerial appointment we could be where we want to be, I don't want to sacrifice that by selling to someone who a year down the road will hand over to the muppets.

We have gone backwards the last few years, we are now fighting for 8th and our attendances have dropped...Well run in a fianacial sense maybe, on the pitch we are presently fighting it out with the likes of Salford!
I do not want to keep spending hundreds of pounds watching our attendances drop and our club going backwards on the pitch.

| I'll give Pearson one thing, he likes interacting with the fans. When HISA were going strong he would not hesitate to meet with my dad and the rest of the committee to answer any questions the fans had - and he was a rugby fan growing up

| Perhaps Pearson was in sole charge post Duffen but then the Allems came along and hes sort of had his nose pushed out a little but Person wanted his own club and right on his doorstep there was one available. Im welcoming this move as clearly the old BOD were interested in nothing other than money and like someone else has said i bet Agar is bricking it.
Interesting times ahead me thinks and Welcome Adam Pearson!
