Look I have nothing against AP, this could be a great move for us.

However the current board gets accused of having no RL person on there (despite Kath's vast knowledge) so I am just pointing out the same thing.

Why is it fashionable these days to accuse anyone who has an alternative view as being deluded ? It's a delusional stance to take IMO.

Dont think it matters now as Agar will be gone soon anyway. Did you not notice that not once does Pearson mention Agar in his statement which says a lot to me

There will be a fair few faces on there way out at the end of the season then .

Very surprised at this because - even though he hails from the Rugby League heartlands - Pearson has never proclaimed to be a 'fan' of the sport and, indeed, during his first spell at Hull City, seemed quite hostile to it.

That said, I am sure he will run the club in a professional manner (particularly, as he is using his own money for once) but he has a reputation for 'meddling' in football and his record of achievement (on the field) isn't that great, especially at Derby.

it shouldn't be forgotten that Pearson is just an 'investor' not a benefactor.

Where he differs from other RL owners like Moran, McManus, Lenegan, Hudgell, Hughes, Davey, Wilkinson etc is that he will demand a return on his investment and has no particular affinity for the club. He will also 'move it on' as soon as he feels right!

Welcome AP, saying all the right things but it's what he does that we will judge him on. I'm hopefully optimistic.

I just hope he is strong enough to do his own thing and not get sucked in to the Allam's plans.

He spoke of giving Agar the 'tools' to succeed in his radio interview.

Maybe he will employ a DOR.

Interesting to see he tried to buy the club in 2002. Shows he really wants the club. So stop doubting him and get behind the club. As a smaller club like Warrington have proved ambitious owners get you a long way
