according to the HDM, which I trust slightly less than The Star, would AP really take on the Allam's, I doubt it personally.

the allams have played down adams role as 'nothing more than a consultant' but the reality is that he was a full time employee and there for entitled to a fair dismissal hearing

was he a full time employee, what's your evidence for such a claim?

and when you say "fair dismissal hearing", what do you mean?

Well, sort of. It was a rlstatement released from Pearson to the media in generalrlwhich the HDM quoted. Perhaps the terms of his consultancy agreement gives him some loopholes he can exploit?

I agree, though, what's to be gained by even more Allam conflict? What does "resolved to my satisfaction" imply?

We will see in time, I guess.

so by your own admission you are basing your opinion on a sauce that you give no creditability to. was there actually any point in you posting on the thread?

What makes you think he was more than a consultant, Rocknhulla? Is there evidence he was actually an employee?

Actually that depends. The original statement claimed that they had terminated his 'consultancy contract' and if a contract was involved then it's possible that it's been breached.

A lot more complicated than with the termination of an employee but there may be a case there nonetheless.

well id say because he had a job title would mean that he was an employee.

and id say the dismissal fell short of standards due to the reaction and statement issued by Adam.

shame your picking up on poor english to claw back some pride. or should i say "creditability"

so, anyone with a job title is an fte, right, I get you.

I think you meant credibility, but crack on, it's funny.

AP has simply said it is "in the hands of his lawyers", nothing more, people are making assumptions about things, we shall see what transpires.

It's all very confusing.

Pearson [iwas[/i Chairman of Hull City before handing over to Russell Bartlett and becoming Head of Football Operations - a role he continued in after the Allam takeover

So when did Pearson stop being an employee?

Probably when he bought FC

Unless the purchase of another company breached a clause in his employment contract (possible) this wouldn't make a difference. If there was such a clause, then the consultancy agreement may have replaced the employment one.

However, reports at the time indicated that the Allams had no knowledge of the buy-out until the day before it happened. If they were that angry, they would have ripped up the employment contract then if they were able. A new consultancy contract wouldn't have been an option.

It would appear that the Hull FC ownership thing has only recently become unpalatable. Why?

i did realise my mistake the first time you pointed it out actually, and used again 'tong in cheek', (totally lost on you)

back on topic, my point is this. consultants are used common place in my line of work, but they would never be given a job title by the customer. and as i know the role of a consultant, if you were not pleased with the job they had done for you. you would just not use them again. ANY kind of sacking would not be required.

it was more the quote "the sudden and in my view totally unjustified termination of my agreement." that leads my to think it was possibly unfair.
