Rule and Agar both have until the end of the season to prove their worth apparently.

No silverware, no futures.

Sounds fair to me.

Whilst I agree about Agar, I doubt it about Rule, where are you getting this from?

Good that she has made a statement, but the part I have highlighted shows how out of touch she was

Why? She's probably refering to fans supporting the club, not the directors.

Whilst today's news is very good, it should be remembered that KH has done a lot for the club (poor coaching recruitment notwithstanding).

She has done some good, but equally she has also done some damage.

Aye, fair comment. My other main problem with her was that she was fairly anonymous. Even though she had Rule as her CEO as Chairperson she should have been more in the public eye with forums and such like.

Hopefully Pearson will be more approachable.

He will leave the bulk of it to James Rule, and comment when he feels it necessary, which is what he should do. Ultimately Rule is in charge of FC day to day, Pearson is in charge of City, stcik to their areas of strength.

Interesting if true....

Would make sense given the partnership that lead to the purchase of City all those years ago...

Just out of interest does anybody know what Adam Pearson's personel wealth is. I can't remember how much he paid for City and how much he made out of it's sale.

I don't know what his wealth is, but I think he paid a pound for City and sold them for something like £10million, though I may be completely wrong.

Also, he wasn't the only person putting money into City.
