to compare AP with Lloyd is really being disrespectful to AP, he wont break links with City, and nor should he, he isn't coming in to run the club, he is leaving it to senior management to do that, he simply owns us and will give us a single vision, a single ambition, a single voice and a single figure head, James will be allowed to run the business so long as he meets targets, we may even see an improvement on he field as the influence of the BOD will be much less, we certainly won't have Kath and her numerous agendas scuppering things.

I didn't compare him directly to Lloyd and unlike yourself I'm rarely if ever disrespectful to anyone.

I compared the situation with a new owner coming in and I stand by my comments. No one wants success for the club more than me and I hope AP can deliver it.

Plus AP's Mrs will be a lot more pleasant to look at in the West rather than Uncle Kath.

Wondered if we'll still be able to get our Leeds youngsters on loan at will?

Do AP get asked about the KC and any alternative stadia plans?

As a occasional poster on this board(very occasional looking at my post count),i just had to add my thoughts on this development.

First off,it's fantastic news.Pearson is probably the sole reason City are the club they are today.Without Pearson they probably wouldn't have been a KC stadium,or Premier league football for City.He is honest,hard-working,excellent with the media and has a drive and ambition the previous BOD at FC clearly didn't possess.He doesn't suffer fools and is incredibly professional.

Those thinking there's a link,or some separate agenda involving the Allams are deluded.Pearson is his own man,this purchase will have been totally independant from anything involving his role at City,and besides,if Allam wanted a stake in FC,he wouldn't go through someone else to obtain it.....why would he??....Why wouldn't the BOD not sell to him???

Anyway,i'm digressing slighty.I think the countdown clock is now ticking on Agar too,which is no bad thing either.

This is absolutely fantastic news. Finally we have an owner with the drive to be the best but who can also run it as a successful business too. This is the news ive been waiting years for and means that we sould be challenging Wigan and Wire for top within a couple of years. Im off to put my FC shirt on!

Welcome Adam!!!!

Yet sold Hull City to Duffen? Also, his choices in managers are questionable - Peter Taylor was obviously a good manager but what about Phil Parkinson, (debatedly) Phil Brown, Jan Molby, .

Maybe the BOD wouldn't sell to Allam because of his questionnable conduct and comments about Hull FC with regards to the stadium and mergers?
