A man that clearly has the club at heart . A supporter for many years and talks a lot of sense in regards of how the club should be run . Move aside Hetherington and give this man the job.

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:



Quote: B0NES "A man that clearly has the club at heart . A supporter for many years and talks a lot of sense in regards of how the club should be run . Move aside Hetherington and give this man the job.'"



Hetherington moving aside wont do any good...she is not the major shareholder Steve.

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...:

Saw Pete this morning he was off to watch his team Brid Town play a pre season friendly. Follows Hull home and away and has done for years. Not sure he wants to run Hull Fc though!!! icon_biggrin.gif

He way well be a big fan, but with all due respect, the jump from Bridlington Town to what is, to all intents and purposes, a Grade A Super League franchise, is a fairly substantial.

I don't know. A prospective new owner may need to buy out other directors too.

It's all very well wanting to change the board and I'm all for a fan owning the club like at Wigan and Warrington but they must be first and foremost an astute businessman and have an acute understanding of the game. For all our board's faults, they have turned the club around financially.

Anyway all it would take is a poor season and any new owner would face a backlash anyway.

He's hairman of Brid town i think so he should know what he's doing in that respect. You can't fault the club for our off field marketing but it's the football operations side were we are failing.

TBF I dont suppose for one minute Pete has any intention of taking over Hull FC dont forget he has been a fan of the club for so long he knows exactly what kind of stick he would get if everything wasnt rosy in the KC garden! icon_lol.gif

When i heard him speaking on the radio a while back . I got the impression he'd do things a lot differently to whats been the norm for years. I was quite impressed with what he had to say about player's contracts and the retention of players also. I hope he's on Humberside again so we could at least ask the question.

only a fan would ever buy the club outright, we all know theres no real money in running a rugby league side. That said im a big fan but if i was loaded dont think id put my money in, no chance of a massive payback and board level money makes no dif to us anyway. Wer spending cap,same as wigan and wire its just we dont do it as well. No 1 makes money in sport nowadays, its a passion not an investment

allthough he speaks well of the club and is a fan doesnt mean all would be rosey if someone like him run the club. I know people knock the dark lady of hull fc but she sure seems to have the right business contacts and attributes. If someone like pete came into hull and things slumped for a few games people would slate him just as they do the current board. Theres a fine line between being a fan, wanting the best for the club and actually achieving it

It's done Wigan & Wire and even Hudds to an extent no harm though. I think "most" fans would understand that change within the club systematically and culturally would take some time .

Wigan, Wire and Hudds. are all backed by millionaires, maybe that has something to do with things?
