Oh I don't doubt that he's accurately repeating what he was told. What I'm questioning is the veracity of the source material.
Quote: Jake the Peg "As for pearson, I reckon he thought he'd buy Hull for a song, get rid of the unpopular coach, tinker a bit behind the scenes and suddenly have a side capable of winning the title with crowds of 15k+. If that didn't work out, he could always use his bargaining power with the user agreement to get some wedge out of allam when the council handed over the stadium for his major development plans.'"
Seems unlikely. He'd have to be a lot dafter than he seems to have come up with a business plan like that.
Quote: Jake the Peg "So how does he get out? Can't see anyone coming over the hill with a chunk of cash to pay him off so maybe a merger is on the cards?'"
And even dafter to think that this would fly.
