Pearson does really have a nerve blaming the fans and this antagonist and egotistical approach will only damage the fanbase further.

Like stated the demise we find ourselves in is solely down to him.
His sanctioning of deals, his continued employment and support for a head coach not good enough whose sole employment alone has driven fans away.
He's now further allowed the signing of albeit quality players on large salaries I'd assume which in actual fact causes an imbalance in the squad and not addressed any of this season issues.
This is highlighted further when you see Wigan signing the likes of Isa not because he's a superstar but i suspect he's relatively cheap but compliments the balance of the squad which is far more important than a handful of marquee signings to boost the crowd ala Salford and now us to a lesser extent.
Signings aside I still know of fans who after 2 years of Radford and another season of him coupled with continued disappointing performances have decided not to renew because of these reasons which has outweighed the signings made in their decision making.

I meant non-passholders.

Yes you can walk up and pay on the day just not at the turn style. Have to go to office to purchase ticket first. I know a lot of people who still do this simply due to work and other commitments have often clashed when sky have chosen to move game.

I guess the HDM must have got it wrong...

We wont, but thanks for your threats

AP reminds of a small man who run the club in 1998

It's coming

There will be plenty of fans who have called the club and its fans on the internet, those who say the club will close due to 1000 passes not being renewed, who will be at the player of the year dinner tonight, lording it up, licking the club and professing to be super fans

To give a sense of perspective I suggest that everyone mentally replaces every reference that Pearson makes to "the club" with "my investment".

The guy has no interest in the club whatsoever other than the monetary value has has invested in it.

It is obviuously conjecture, but if someone offered him his money back that he paid for the club tomorrow I'd wager he'd bite their proverbial hand off.

It's a tricky one trying to read AP. If what you say is true, why would he have paid the SMC (Allams) to keep the North Stand open, this season, when he could have saved his cash????? If he is motivated by money, why has he laft a lucrative position at Leeds United, or was it Hetherington that run him out of Leeds or is it a conflict of interests regards the FA, ie consortium taking over City??????????????

100%, in fact I think he'd stomach a 25% loss to just walk away, but hey ho, he's still the messiah in some eyes and it's all our fault for not throwing good money after bad.

If Hull FC were a restaurant, serving up poor food in a dull environment, luke warm coffee with salt instead of sugar, would people still say "keep paying, or it will close"... it's a buyers market when it comes to entertainment/leisure.

To be fair the field of professional sports has always been a special case and the loyalty to the brand has always been stronger in it. I respect the fact that people are loyal to Hull FC and prepared to spend their hard earned cash even when they're not been served up value for money.
What I find hard to accept is when those that have a different value system are pilloried for it. They should be shown the same respect for their views as those who still choose to financially support the club.

pearson got his faults no doubt but still think hes invested a lot of his time and money in the club and for now has my backing
