@James_Smailes "I'll answer your question, it's all in today's paper, Allams not involved at all, but Pearson stays"

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.

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.

Jimmy Bullard?? (although not 100% Pearson was around when he was signed?)

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

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...

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.

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!
