Just watched his interview on Hull FC live. Was genuinely excited when he bought the club but not so much now after listening to that load of e! Everything's Gentles fault and the sun shines out of Radfords backside. He talks about some performances last season being an acute embarrasment, sorry Mr Pearson did you not watch widnes at home this year, either of the Wigan games etc! The fans aren't that gullible! I'm afraid if Radfords still head coach next year then I for one will no longer be a season pass holder!

I love it when people say Pearson has put a lot of money in.. Does anyone have any evidence of this?
He's restructured yes, but I feel that he's cutting back in a lot of areas.

There are a few areas where he is massively underinvesting and, dare I say it on here, worse than the Hetherington's. Such as, merchandise/shop.

He may have the ambition but he needs to start delivering on his bold promises or his investment will vanish.

I still hope he becomes successful but I'm not sold on him yet, I'm still of the opinion were he saw a big club, in a sport he's not familiar with and thought he could make a quick profit..

I am surprised you should doubt that Pearson has invested money in the club. What "evidence" do you expect to see? Maybe you should look at the accounts. The club is making a loss and Pearson is having to keep putting his own money in to cover the losses. Getting knocked out of the cup at the first attempt will have cost him too.

You need to remember he is not as wealthy as Koukash or Davy.

He has definitely invested in many areas, not least training facilities and the academy set up. True he has cut back on administration/office staffing and I believe the first team coaching set up needs further investement.

He bought the club to make a profit. he saw a business which was being badly run. He thought he could turn it round, make it profitable and sell it for more than he paid for it. The failures on the pitch and the consequent reduced income from paying spectators now mean this will take longer than he thought and I'm sure he is aware of this.

He has made some bad decisions due to a combination of a lack of knowledge of RL, appointing the wrong people and listening to bad advice but no-one can question his past and ongoing financial committment.

Were you on water duty that day? - must have been a big occasion.
Nice to get some inside knowledge for a change - what was the game plan ?
A detailed summary will do.

Oh no no no, you need to prove to the contrary, I watched a team get into the right areas of the pitch time and again only to drop passes at critical points, some of that panic/nerves, some of it weather related. We actually threatened them quite a bit over the 80 but don't let your imperical understanding of the game get in the way of facts
I still thought we had a chance of winning it with 10-15 minutes to go and yet we didn't. A dry day and a bit less panic & I reckon we would have won it comfortably.
For me it wasn't an embaressment as many have banged on about since, yes the performance wasn't great by any stretch & I was massively dissapointed but embaressed..hardly.
We were a patched up side, no Lineham, Millar thrown in in desperation, losing Ellis on 14 minutes was a huge loss, gambling on Crooks is a tough choice all coaches have made (remember Senior in 2005!) a fullback with 7 games or so under his belt whom almost got us right back into it.

But let's see you put to right were we went wrong in our game plan aside from the main aspect of dropping the passes time and again...

Thinking about it you're right - it was a real triumph for Hull FC that day.
