Quote: Jake the Peg "monk is generally on the money with his info. Don't know where he gets it from but he's usually right.
As for pearson, I reckon he thought he'd buy Hull for a song, get rid of the unpopular coach, tinker a bit behind the scenes and suddenly have a side capable of winning the title with crowds of 15k+. If that didn't work out, he could always use his bargaining power with the user agreement to get some wedge out of allam when the council handed over the stadium for his major development plans.
As it's turned out, the hole the club were in was much, much deeper than he could have imagined. The youth set up had been all but left swinging in the wind, what talent he did have in there was whisked away due to incompetence and subterfuge by ex employees. The RFL failed to back him so he's now had a public spat with them. The club's name has been dragged through the mud due to a drugs scandal that seems like it included most of the coaching and playing staff and the better players in the squad seem to want out.
So how does he get out? Can't see anyone coming over the hill with a chunk of cash to pay him off so maybe a merger is on the cards?'"
Thanks. Like I said I would not spread malicious rumours about the club. I pray to god what I was told tonight is not true. I can't see the club going backwards now. Everything seems to be in place
