Pearson offered it to someone then retracted on Mcrae's advice.
That guy now has a pick of three SL clubs and Hull have ended up with JT's mate
I hope Pearson putting all his faith in Bomber does not come back to bite him. He was advised by people from Hull City and a top player/now agent to go for someone fully qualified and with vast experience, he has gone for someone who is neither.
That does not mean the bloke will do a bad job though and he may well prove to be a good signing.
