Your not the only one.

I wouldn't be too worried, the player that's opened his mouth probably has more to be worried about.
Don't think the players will be too happy about this news, they're worried they're going to have to work for a living once Agar, inevitably, gets the boot.

Explain how.

A rich owner who wanted to own all Hull clubs to maximise his earning potential, ana who had a puppy dog to do his bidding.

You are a complete muppet and you know nothing, the most ridiculous statement EVER,

So, an intelligent reason then?

I'll give you another chance. Explain why?

There's worse about, I suppose we hope I'm wrong.

I have done, if you don't agree with me fair enough.

I understand those who worry we were all there at the Charlestone vclub in 2000 we know what a poor owner can do but we all have to get behind him and give it a go and the one question you have to ask is when did Adam Pearson ever do anything underhand or try to screw the fans at City? When did he refuse to discuss something with the prss or at least to meet them to say why he couldn't discuss it! He is a man who doesn't suffer fools but who would if its your own money you have invested he has great integrity loads of monied contacts and sponsors etc and most of all he keeeps the fans informed. He has spoken as often to the fans this morning as our previous chairman spoke in the last year and that was only about a referee!!!!!! Get behind him and lets see what happens!

What is it on here ?

Jesus wept fascism is alive and kicking on this board. Let's shine a light in Sheldon's eyes and pull his finger nails out while we're at it.
The guy has an opinion and I'm not sure if having an opinion merits an interrogation - even if some people may totally disagree with it.

ANOTHER homophobic comment??? lol

you obviously dont know anything about Tim Wilby or AP to compare the two to be honest, the 2 blokes couldnt be further apart in personality, business acumen, honesty and integrity, ridiculous comment

which comments, I only ever commented about Smith, and I was THERE.

if it wasn't for the mod status you've managed to con from somewhere I could just block your posts and ignore your bile.

I don't mean to be aggressive (if that's what I'm being) but I'm interested in why you think this. I haven't really formed an opinion on it yet, but I don't see any similarities to back then and now. I was interested in what you think are the same.
For me, Adam Pearson is not a liar, and is always truthful towards the fans. He's probably not an expert in all matters RL, but that's why he's kept the executive team. He wants to invest (and has wanted to for a while) as a project away from city and Allam. He never personally had the funds to take City were he wanted on his own, he has for us.
Links between the 3 clubs can only be a good thing.

Eh? He called everybody Fucking idiots for not having his opinion.

Fair point

I just hope we kick on from here, make the right investment off the field (it seems the on the field stuff is pretty much sealed for next season anyway) and we get the FC we all hope and pray for, if AP makes a few quid along the way then fair enough, he's rolled the dice to the tune of £3m(ish) so far.

If he has an opinion that he chooses to express on a discussion forum, he can expect people to challenge it, can't he? Isn't that what the board is there for? I've not seen anyone suggesting that finger nails are pulled out, or anything like it. The most unreasonable comment I've seen is:

"You are a complete muppet and you know nothing, the most ridiculous statement EVER,"

But you'll always get people making such comments.

By and large, the response seems to have been quite reasonable.

Having read through the statement on the Hull website, its clear Pearson is a man on a mission to bring improvements and success to Hull FC.

I can understand one or two having some concerns with regard to the Allams connection, however in reality unless there is clear evidence that they start poking their noses in, just let that concern simmer in the back ground for a while and enjoy the fact that the club has at last got a new direction to go in. At the end of the day, Pearson has stumped up his money to buy the club. Its within all of our interests to back him for th time being.

FWIW, I reckon Agar has until the end of this season. If by some act of god we end up winning the CC and having more than one play off game, it wil be difficult to sack him.

I expect to see a new coach in place before the end of the calander year.

WELL FFS or words to that effect, that was a HUUUUUGE shock to everyone wasnt it?????

for what its worth initially it seems everyone who knows AP seems to agree the guy is a top businessman, smart thinker, descisive, honest, open and carries as his banner the word "integrity" at all times is what they are saying.
He seems to know exactly what he wants to do, has thought this one through thoroughly with a huge plan of action and he has repeated many times he wants to turn FC into one of the top teams in SL and has investment ready to do so....

So.........................

Lets now get behind this man and show him a massive ammount of support and the biggest round of applause ever when he comes out to take his seat against Leeds!!, he has invested in the club, sees and speaks of a big future for the club and has mentioned the fans a number of times so although i have never met him personally he seems to be the right man for the job at a time we quite frankly needed some good news didnt we!!!
Welcome to FC Mr pearson and good luck ...

Now lets not forget the outgoing board who between them have maybe not secured sucess on the field but have ensured the great club we all love is on solid foundations for the futre to build on so like them or blame them they also need a huge thank you and good luck too...

AP has called a meeting of RA and senior squad members early so it is clear he is getting a quick feel for the club from the inside , i am sure he knows the fans feelings all too well already so no doubt as one poster has already said RA will be uncomfortable for now based on recent results but AP is above all a very astute man who does not waste time or energy on no hope scenarios so I have no doubt he will move quickly to ensure the squad know he means business, and in turn the fans but interesting he has called a meeting of some senior squad members too...

Also aparently he wants a "rugby man" as an ongoing advisor too so a DOR is in the offing i think..

Good news , so lets enjoy it till something happens that changes it, lets get behind him and take him for his word not rumour of aligiencies that cannot be proved or disproved, lets for once get behind the guy and welcome him with open arms..

jesus you have changed your tune

where and how? just saying as i see it today nothing more but no other tune was sung

after a new contract??

Now it's sunk in I'm really pleased with this news....it was about time for a change and at least the outgoing regime knew they could not rely on the loyal fan base to keep shuffling through the turnstiles for ever.

What heartens me is that Pearson has admitted he tried to make a move for FC as far back as 2002, so this is not some knee jerk reaction. That was literally one year into his involvement with Hull City so he clearly spotted the potential with FC early on.

If you look at what he achieved with the football club, he took them from a bottom tier sleeping giant into a premier league/championship level team - pretty much where they should be. Yes a few managerial hiccups along the way but you can't knock successive promotions. Plus he was ruthless with Brian Little, which I'm sure Rich Agar will be aware of.

From what I have heard about Pearson (through people who know him personally), he is a very savvy and enthusiastic salesman, I'm sure he will be able to convince top, top players to join us over the next few years.

Totally understand people's concerns, but there are risks involved in most business transactions and life in general. His statement could not be less vague if he tried.

A new beginning and I can't wait to sample the atmosphere on Sunday.
