Best outcome we could possibly have imagined, given the state of the game and the economy.

Hopefully the regime can unlock the potential of the club finally.

Probably announce the new middle soon!

Great to have this sorted after what's been a lengthy process. Lets hope that this is the start of a successful time for the club, although I feel patience is required.

Obviously we've all known this was coming for a few weeks now, but to have it officially confirmed today is very gladdening news for all.
There is clearly a lot of hard work still to be done before we are back challenging at the top once more, but at least we now have the tools (and hopefully the right personnel) to begin tackling the job in hand.

One thing's for sure, we're all way more optimistic about the future than we were as last season dribbled to its depressing end, rescued from almost the very brink of oblivion in my view.

Fingers crossed, let's hope we look back on today as the moment a great period commenced for our great club. Keep the faith everyone, good times may be here again soon.

Excellent news. Thanks to AP who put too much faith in the wrong people but who, i felt, always had the best interests of the club at heart.

Welcome aboard the 2 new owners - at a combined wealth of £1/2bn must be one of the wealthiest ownership groups in SL, possibly 2nd only to the guy at wigan

Some patience needed yes as the squad does have some weaknesses, however my view is the standard in SL has dropped and outside of the top 3 or 4 decent teams it's a lottery of who's squad has stayed fit, what iffy ref calls they have had etc so I don't feel it's a massive mountain to climb over the next few years.

We just need a bit of a spark, even 2 home wins in a row would feel like a miracle after what we have seen.

Today is without doubt a big relief for many of us particularly us season ticket holders of over 60 years who have wintered and summers so many ownership changes ups and downs near catastrophes and periods of uncertainty surrounding the ownership of the club we love. Some of us old timers now probably feel that at least we will have a club to support day in day out for the rest of our days.

I say that with some certainty because although I have only spoken to Adam a few times in the last couple of years he has always emphasised one thing: that he had to ensure that Hull FC continues in perpetuity long after he is gone and that he was only seeking potential owners who could guarantee that. But that is the mark of the man for not only did he bring some of us the best moment of our lives but he has been a pretty good guardian of our heritage particularly for someone who is not a mega millionaire or a rugby man by his previous life.

We tend to say oh well we move on and dream of big transfer fees being paid and days of milk and honey returning . But this is a very very big milestone in our history just as was Adam rescuing us from the Hetherington dynasty and indeed them saving our bacon after the Lloyd years. Not only that but after several awful years for the fans of the club Adam has still overseen and nurtured a fanbase that has stayed loyal through the toughest of times and that still numbers more than many clubs can dream of. We grumbled about what he did at times but when the full financial story of the last few years comes out and it is balanced with his wealth (against potentially the half a billion coming in) folks will realise just how difficult it has been for our now past owner both financially and health wise. It’s not for me to go into details but sufficient to say things were close to being a lot worse.

The Numpties from across the river brag about their fan base but when they do I suggest you reply as I do with the simple phrase “and how many season tickets do you think we would have sold after a season as good as yours was” .

The new owners have been courted and then heavily vetted by Adam and must realise not only do they inherit the most revered strip and the most famous anthem in the game and indeed one of the most acclaimed clubs in the sport (who incidentally play in the best stadium in the British game) but also the most loyal and potentially biggest fanbase and RL community in the British game. This is an historic moment which should weigh heavily on the shoulders of our two new owners. But I’m heartened by their financial backing, their business pedigree and as far as our new chairman’s tenure in the game is concerned his love of the sport. Adam assures us all they have behaved impeccably throughout the negotiations and they are the men for the club.

So good luck Adam thanks for everything and for looking after my club and welcome to our new owners we’re all 100 percent behind you.
I will await with great interest their first statement on taking over but as Indiana jones once said for all of us black and whites now …….the adventure continues….. but for me and many other old timers it’s a big day indeed.

I'm not just saying this cos we now have wealthy backers but with kr seemingly having money and being well run, Leeds and Warrington always being able to spend, Wigan of course being well just Wigan, is it time to raise the salary cap and start bringing quality nrl players here again? Get some stars here, put some bums on seats and try to grow the game by improving tye quality of the product cos what's currently happening isn't working

Interview with Adam Pearson on Radio Humberside earlier

Thank goodness Adam kept us afloat, particularly in recent times.

Near the end his lack of deep pockets certainly affected his ability to run the Club.

We still haven’t won the GF so I say the new owners should sell up and move on!

We want silverware now !

Hopefully there’ll be a bit of positivity around the place now.
I sincerely thank AP for 2016, and steering the club through Covid, but there’s been a lot of negativity coming out of the club over the last three or so years.

Combined with abysmal performances, it’s been difficult to be enthusiastic about the club.

Hopefully the new ownership, under RM, can reenergise us all.

I'm.sure Moanaire will pop along soon and burst the bubble of positivity around here

Dan Tomlinson summed it up when he said Pearson had left in us in the same state as when he took over. I'm not one to join the love in about him, Kath and Co got us to two cc finals (one win) and one grand final and gave us the best team we've had in the kc stadium era, Pearson got us to two finals with two wins. Imo the Kath era was better. But that's the past - now we look to the future

It’s a RESULTS business !!!

There’s a big difference between a ‘love in’ and bit of realism about the situation we found ourselves in. IMO the rot set in a couple of years before, but Covid was the final nail in the coffin and meant that there was absolutely no way the club could continue to compete in SL without outside money coming in. It was that simple.

Everyone knew that, thankfully pretty much all supporters were sensible enough to realise this and not make too much of a hostile environment and the club seemingly navigated it to now be on more of a level playing field with the new owners. It could have gone the way of Salford easily and people are rightfully giving AP at least a bit of credit for that.

I was talking to Adam last night he said amongst a lot of other things that "the last two years just about broke him" and he wasn't talking just cash either. When in the future if the the truth comes out people will realise just what our owner went through post pandemic and over the last two years and how easy it would have been to walk and leave us in a real hole but he kept to his word and now leaves us potentially in the best state we have been in financially in our history as a Club. he had his critics me included at times and he made some poor decisions, and oversaw an unthinkable decline but I think he at least deserves some thanks for ensuring everyone at the club was paid during covid and for keeping us afloat and being hell bent on finding the right buyers and leaving us as rich as any club in the game. Just my thoughts of course! And obviously not everyone's on here, but that's what this board is about isn't it?
