If it weren't for the allam connection I'd probably agree

That worries me too, given his looney tunes approach in the recent past.

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!

and ive heard all is not rosy with the Allam/Pearson partnership!!

And also interesting that Kath etc are willing to sell for £3m. I thought (and will no doubt be corrected) that she had refused offers in that ballpark a few years back. Maybe she's had enough of the on field performances?

That's the bit that shocked me, totally surprised that the bid is only 2/3m.

Unsure like others what to think about this, it could be a good thing if Pearson is doing this without the Allam's, just don't like the thought of Allam maybe taking control of the club a few years down the line..

First thoughts when I read this news was, yes great. I always thought he did okay at City and they seemed to be a stable club and he always wanted Rl at the KC.

The allams connections fills me with dread, if he is sole owner and he truely wants Hull Fc for the right reasons, ie he see's real potentional that we all can see then I will be over the moon.

Press conference will be interesting so at the moment I am on the fence, just not sure.

I'm with Jake on this one and fear the worst. I really hope I'm wrong but at the moment all I can see is the Allam master plan. I like Pearson and listening to him he always seems to speak sense but at the moment he is just Allams front man and it worries the life out of me.

Sometimes you've gotta be careful what you wish for and I get the feeling that this is one of those times.

I don't think he has a financial stake anymore, maybe he feels a bit surplus to requirements, one thing is for certain, AP will not be as secretive and aloof as the present board.

Is the press conference on the radio, does anyone know?

I think once 10.00am arrives we'll know things are a lot clearer.
I am personally amazed this morning, waking up to this news. Obviously concerned with regards to Allams involvement within this situation but from what I am being told with a few others it is Pearson only.

Good times ahead for Hull FC

I once ask Adam Pearson at a City Forum if he was interested in Rugby, he gave an interesting answer, NO!
