Instead of responding with sarcasm why don't you give your honest opinion and reasoning to the following question "Do we look any closer to being a Grand Final winning side than at the time Pearson took over?" I'd be genuinely interested to hear this.

If Hetheringon etc stayed, we would have been close to going bust, be similar position to Bradford or Widnes.

No way would we have won two cups Pearson has been great for Hull, has he made mistakes yes and his loyalty to Radford worries me. We are in a better place on and off the pitch, ok we arent quite were we want to be, but it miles away from the Kath/Rule and Agar era.

I'd say yes

Im not disputing they ran us into the ground but even though they did we achieved just as much under them as we have under Pearson

What does a Grand Final winning side look like?
Salford made the final last year and could have won it.

Dave K pretty much covers what I would write...




but I would also add (to underli e DaveK's point) that Pearson has invested heavily in the off the field side of the club, he has brokered a much more positive relationship with KR and many of the other SL clubs, we aren't, as a club, in the shadow of Gary and the RFL, OK the joint academy didn't work out, but at least he tried something new.

The two regimes are incomparable in my view.

Performances and results say otherwise despite Pearsons big investment

That's down to coaching though. Imo the off field set up and support plus the squad are good enough to be competing at the top of sl.

For me over the years we have had great players at this club, some good teams and some poor teams. However the 2020 squad Pearson has provided us is in all my 40 years watching the best groups/collective as a squad of players we have ever had. If you also add in to the fact that Pearson has invested in the training facilities and development side of the club too we are in the best place we have ever been under any owner. Adam Pearson can not be questioned on these points however the coaching side is where things can rightly be questioned as we have everything in pls e other than a coach that can take us to the next level in terms of consistency at the top level.
He has had 7 years and a lot of backing and we are still really no further on and continuing in the same hit and miss manor.
We have had poorer teams in the past but the teams attitude desire and work ethic couldn’t be questioned as they gave their all so even losing we couldn’t ask for more. Today’s team should be delivering more and feel it’s down to the coaching.

A well measured and thought through post with which I would agree. On the Pearson out stuff, I'll just say that should he at some point, walk away or the fans drive him out, then as a Club we'll have had it. Who the hell would buy or even take over a club that is losing money, whose main source of income is based on a TV franchise that is currently looking vulnerable and up for review in 2021, who perhaps faces a period when there are no games and yet wages etc to pay and one that doesn't even own their own stadium as back up collateral? I'm just glad we have him!!

Well said Wilf .
No Pearson, no Hull FC , simple as that !
Who would want to take the Club off him ?
There is no money to be made in RL.
Clubs are heavily reliant on the Sky money, which could end , or decrease after 2021 .
