What a guy! Enjoyed every bit of that. Particularly the bit about wanting to walk us out at Wembley! Smash em to bits was my favourite though! 89 I first went, not a long time but not a short time, and to be fair pretty much all of that time we've been a shambles in one way or another, even the moderate successes in between only glossed over various issues. Never in my time has there been such a long term short term and invested in plan of action like what we seem to have now! Good times!!!

I've probably missed some as well , there's been that many comings and goings .

Does anyone know if they do a 'listen again' for sports talk these days ?

So much positivity to take from that.
We're in for players and have paid substantial fees for them
Season pass sales going well, could be on target for 10,000
Positive culture being created, been very clear how pivotal Ellis is, a Sinfield leadership role
Will open talks with Briscoe and offer him a big, long deal. If he wants to go we can then set recruitment targets early
Very positive about Bishop Burton
Clear targets - would like a top 4 finish
Obvious relationship breakdown with Rovers; sounds like AP's clean slate approach has been ultimately met with "open hostility", "suspicion", and them trying to poach our personnel.
Some interesting comments outside FC, praise for the Allams, City's new regime, appreciation of the interim head of the RFL.
Only slight concern was I think he said Gentle and McRae have gone on a cruise together.

It was an enjoyable listen. No major exclusives or surprises but his enthusiasm for the club is very evident.

Hopefully his hard work will pay off.

This link was tweeted by Humberside earlier, stating it would be available 'later'. How later is anyone's guess, but this is where it will be:

Much appreciated mate cheers.

And cheers again !

Will have to give this a listen sounds very positive, what was said about Bishop Burton?

spoke highly of the facilities there and also more than hinted that he wanted the facilities there to be for the use of FC not a joint venture with rovers

interesting post from the caller George to Pearson on recruitment stating you promised us caviar and French truffles and feels like you have given us paste sandwiches and twiglets ,made me chuckle that poor Adam was owned didn't no wot to say

Why is it we get so many of our poor relations coming on to our board commenting about our signings or players we're linked with? You'd think they'd be more concerned about their own signings, with them been been top players etc.

I suppose it takes their minds off which player they have sold this week!

Thought the comment about the luke briscoe saga causing problems with tom was interesting.

Good listen, very honest, possibly too honest at times. he should have told george the rovers fan to feck off

I can confirm that George "I've been a pass holder for 30 years" is indeed a Rovers fan and he'll be getting a slap next time I see him.

When Pearson bought the club I always thought that he didn't really get the rivalry between us and KR when he talked about merging academy and other resources.

Listening to him last night i thing he gets it now. talking about smashing them and then saying they're always trying to tap up staff.

Its about time we tapped them up and got Dobson

no thankyou

and yet if NH said the same he's small minded, double standards yet again.

Hows the loan repayment going?

My point was I don't think pearson really got the rivalry at 1st

I'm not bothered about NH

one thing is certain this club in its entire history has rarely been in such safe and comitted hands as currently under AP, for once it was a pleasure to buy the family season tickets as its clear we should all go out and support this dude in every way possible IMO .
He comes across as a very honest and genuine fella whilst being direct and to the point and thats a man we can all relate to !!
Maybe the players are not out there to buy but AP is certainly in every pot trying to buy them that is clear ,

isnt it nice to be black and white at present!!

he knows, anyone who has been in the city more than half an hour knows

just listening to it now.... i need to pinch myself, he is so god damn ambishous and assertive youd have to be mad to bet aginst him
