Quote: Mrs Barista "We don't really know the financial situation other than random and sometimes contradictory snippets which seem to vary depending on whether passes are on sale or not.

As Pete alludes to I don't think AP wants dilution of control. Could this be because actually he's taking a decent salary from the club and wants to maintain that income? I've no idea but struggle to see why no one else wants to come on board at all and we've had anecdotal chat about investment being knocked back.'"


Pearson is the sole owner of Hull FC but the club don't have a stadium and has no real assets. What exactly would any new 'investor' be buying other than your debts?

Rovers have several millionaire board members who have bought into the exciting project going on at Craven Park. Would they have come on board if the club didn't own the ground and surrounding land? Possibly not but they are all fully committed now and are supplying the best business brains...and money into Hull KR.

What is happening at Hull KR is built to last, you are going to have to get used to it.

Quote: Rocknrolla69er "Has Pearson said when the Covid loan is being repaid?

I might of missed clarification if its been given, if it hasnt surely he needs to make it clear when the loans been paid, and what seasons money has been used to pay it.

with all the wage cuts (500k) below cap, season pass sales, record break sponserships, big merchandise sales, and corperate income , surely surely the fans are rewarded with some good investment and marquee signings for next season'"

AP stated earlier this year that the Covid loan would be paid off later this year.

Quote: Sebasteeno "The only place this club is going is down - Pearson is clueless, he's got all the wrong men at the club from management to coaching to players. We are an absolute joke of a club and will continue to be so whilst Pearson is owner. A lot of fans are starting to realise this now too. Id say half of fans are now laying blame at the owners door'"


Thats the type of view youd expect from a short minded person who wants instant success. The only way this club will succeed is to do it for themselves and to do that we have to bring our own through the ranks and then compliment them with the correct overseas signings.

Your the type of fan who sees whats on the pitch and not the work off it. Massive efforts have gone into the training facilities and making our youth academys one of the best in the country.

It was always going to take time to plug the gap from youth team to first team. Smith might not be the coach that sees the job through but he will start us on the right track, one thing for sure is when he speaks them young kids and senior players listen.

We could spend loads of money on bring players in to only make the top 4 like our so called neighbours. But simply it doesnt work over a long period of time, ask Pearson, Davy, Beaumount, Koulash or even Richard Branson.

The longest this club has being on a play off run and reached a grand final was when we had brought through alot of our own young players and developed them into first team players.

Coincedence ? I think not.

If I had a quid for every time Seb said that Hull are finished and he's not going any more I'd have enough to pay off the club's Covid loan.

For me, much as I hate to say it, there is little doubt that we are to be second best in the city for a while at least, but perhaps there is some hope with the players we have coming through. I was proud of their efforts last night. Smith is the most experienced coach in the British game and has done it time and again so I wouldn't agree that we should get rid because who better would we get in. At least he is someone who everyone at the club respects and he's pretty switched on as far as the game is concerned. As for the comments on Adam going, firstly, I see someone said if he went we would be in trouble, fact is if he went we would, in a short time, be no more. If only for the debts he is guaranteeing. However as I said right at the beginning of this the issue for us is that with Adam leaving the case is we have no other board members with the cash to keep the club afloat in such a case or to inject money in so that we can for instance pay transfer fees. You see, I'm convinced that although he talks a good game about wanting to attract investors, I feel that he likes overall control and being a one man band, and has shied away from that road so far. I think with the exception of Smith we have both on the field off the field and in the back office gone for cheap solutions. Rover power board approach is the way forward and does at least prove that there are people who want to buy into or at least invest in RL clubs. The conundrum is I guess that with Adam that won't happen but without him it could but we would be sunk before anything could be put in place.
