There have been a few recent comments that make me believe we haven't been spending full cap in recent years.

Maybe the club expected a dip in crowds, merchandise and corporate sales due to the economic downturn and tried to save money accordingly?

Adam Pearson comes across in the interview as a very down to earth individual with a desire to achieve in anything he does and hopefully our on-field future will now match the off-field achievements.

It was great to see the Hull owner speak openly & frankly about the club.
We've not had that openess since Shane Richardson left. That contrasted to JR's spin in the interview (which was even more noticeable - especially after the question about youth players).
To be fair to JR, he's had to work to the agenda of the previous board. I'm sure the last few weeks have been a culture shock to him!.
I feel nothing but positive about the future now. Just competing will no longer be good enough it seems.
The new regime certainly contrasts sharply to the old one. I truly believe that AP taking over will prove to be a defining moment in our recent history.
