Also people have got to think. Pearson never said everything (ATT,Players,Success) All in one off season. Did he state that we would be in a transitional period for upto 2 years??

He didn't say anything about success in year 1, but our crowds this year were still disappointing. We only lost once at home (with an injury hit side to Wigan who finished top) yet the crowds hovered around 10/11K most weeks.

Though to be honest the weather didn't help: the club moved games to Sunday afternoons, and then we had snow, sleat, hail and frost for a good half of the season. I hope we get a more 'balanced' fixture list next year, as we seemed to play most of the attractive home games before June this year.

Does 'one off costs' include paying off unwanted players who are still under contract?

your not wrong Wilf, like i said earlier in the piece "i truly feel were on the brink of another golden era of black and white rugby !!" also do believe he has embraced RL at FC too .
Our sales rep saw him on Sunday in Cottingham and still had his club tie on!!!
