Considering I didn't move to Hull until I left uni, I fail to see the relevance of your (idiotic?) statement. |

| Quote cod'ead="cod'ead"I have already said I consider it unwise to say much of what he did.
Your chairman is an idiot though because he moans about the running of the game, without turning up to a meeting in two years. He also moans about clubs' financial losses, when no one from the RFL are dictating to them how much (apart from salary cap limits), they should be spending.'" Psst.
He sends his CEO.
So the FC chairman is unwise but yet the KR chairmain is 'beyond stupid'
No double standards there I see. |

What's the point in sending his CEO and then complaining about not having a meeting?
His comments became beyond stupid once he blamed the RFL for Hull KR's debt.
The RFL may administer SuperLeague but they certainly don't dictate to the SuperLeague clubs. The clubs themselves formulate the structure and how it should operate, the RFL act as a Health Visitor and make sure that no one is beating the baby too hard |

Well quite!
If not being invited/attending a meeting is such an issue that he feels it needs to be raised, why doesn't he get off his booty and turn up to one?
Surely his day job has enough managers that he doesn't need to oversee everything and can spare a couple of hours in Leeds? His company has an office there too. |

He didn't complain about not having a meeting, he said he hadn't been to one for more than 2 years.
Please show me where he has blamed the RFL for Rovers debts.
Other than that. your post was 100% spot on. |

He moaned about a cumulative debt of £8m across Superleague clubs, of that sum, HKR is responsible for upwards of 25% |

A simple [i"I can't show you where he has said that"[/i would have sufficed. |

If Pearson believes that the Hetheringtons, James Rule, the RFL or whoever else have stitched him up, he needs to present some evidence.
Otherwise he's just going to look like a bitter, paranoid delusionist.
I said at the time he got involved with Hull FC that their fans better be ready for a huge let down. He's been involved with three football clubs, all of which have failed to recover their former glories leading to him moving on fairly quickly. If Hull FC do manage to win trophies and increase the value of the club over the next 2-3 years, I'd expect to see him cash out and move on to his next project. If they don't, he'll be gone within 5 years anyway.
He's not in this for the love of the club, the love of the game or anything other than boosting the bank balance of Adam Pearson IMO.

Only just bought a club and now he wants to tell the RFL how to run their business. He'll be telling the NRL how to run their game next!

Hang on... He took Hull City to the Championship from Division 3, after being involved in gettin the stadium built. He sold them on because he didn't have the personal finance for a Premiership push, so he didn't just move on and leave them to it. He came back to them when they got relegated as a CEO.
So let's not make out like he is some kind of locust. If he does move on after improving our club, I will be grateful that he put in the effort to build us back up. |

He was involved with Leeds Utd until 2001, he was Hull City Chairman after that and led them to 2 promotions, he left them and went to Derby County. |
