If it is Thirkill is anyone worried that a lifelong Leeds fan might only be doing it to give his son in law a job ? What happens if Richie does the dirty on his daughter, once a pork swordsman's, always one. I would might prefer a local based fan investor but we don't seem to cultivate them this side of the river.

I doubt the timing of him stepping down from the role at Leeds has any real relevance on the timescale of potentially buying shares in Hull. Players/coaches/staff commitments tend to run until Nov 1st for SL clubs. Once it’s all sorted legally I’m sure they’ll announce something. That’s even if it’s ever announced in his name.

Do we have any other choice? No SL club is self sufficient at the moment and nobody from the City is interested.

I still think people are jumping the gun with it all, but I think it’s safe to say the main motivation if AT is the investor will be to set RM up in a decent job, so it’s only logical that he’s going to want to make sure he’s provided with the resources to make a good fist of it isn’t he? Like I said we don’t really have a lot of choice, with the Covid loans and TV deals it looks next to impossible to grow organically in SL at the moment.

Home and Away kits to be released in the next couple days, suspect they will be influenced by the 2005 kits

Yes they club has done simliar anniversary shirts in the past and have recently been posting about the 2005 shirt.

Hopefully the 2025 kit will be similar, both the 2005 kits were smart. This season's home shirt was a really poor design, too much black.

I loved the blue away kit, reminds me of the epic semi final v St Helens. I have Jamie Thackray's shirt from that campaign.

The design of the kits, especially the home kit is one thing the club seems to get right more often than not and always sell in numbers.

I always prefer the home kit to be something traditional. Not that bothered what the away kit looks like or the magic and charity kits.

Tan Kasler has left Hull City which may not be good news as he and Pearson have openly said how well they get on...but then again it might not be Pearson signing up to the new lease now...

All the shirts this year apart the alzeimers one we're absolutely rubbish this year. Another 3xample of nobody at the club giving a toss

Looking at some of the new range the club has just released doesn't excite me at all . Looks like the merch is going grey now . Hope the other merch is a lot better .

Wasn't keen on the home kit but thought the away and third kits were nice.

I usually just buy the training gear and thought they were pretty good quality with Castore.

Think that is harsh, the home kit wasn't my favourite style as I'm not keen on shirts with a lot of black but it's one of the 'styles' we have to rotate to stop it being repetitive. We had a V and traditional hoops the years before.

Just had a thought...would a CEO vacancy at Hull City interest Pearson? Strangers things have happened

I'm sure it would

Seen someone mention Tan is off and Pearson is replacing him. Not sure how true that is tho?!

All the dominoes starting to fall

I've got a few mates that are city fans and they're not particularly keen on Pearson potentially going back .

It would make the stadium lease interesting

Lawyer: 'so Mr Pearson you signed the original lease as Head of SMC, a tenant under it as owner of Hull FC but you are now CEO of Hull City?? Oh sod it just sign here please'

No idea what’s gone on at City as from the outside it looked like he really was the owners right hand man and ran the day to day. Whatever the reasoning behind it it’s upheaval for them, it’s always better for us to have stability at City so hope they get something sorted, he seemed a reasonable bloke so hopefully a similar appointment. Pretty sure it won’t be AP though, the rumour mill in this City is something else.

See our owner is making a tit of himself on LinkedIn

Quite surprised someone in his position would swear and rant like that on social media but hardly crime of the century is it? I’m more concerned about how much money he’s lost rather than the comment itself. Rugby league journalist in taking the moral high ground shocker.

Another one for the amateurish rugby league twitter account

What's he done exactly?

A sweary rant on LinkedIn aimed at what i'll assume is an investment he'd made that he's been fudged over on.

Just looks very unprofessional airing your financial misfortunes when were on the eve of been downgraded to Grade B status maily down to his lack of investment.

A lot of chatter already about slipping to gradeB but while it's a slap in the face it doesn't mean a lot to me. SL simply isn't going to replace us with Bradford/Fev/Toulouse/York

London are sadly on the brink, need thousands to even start next season so thats a horse out the race. Also surely Hudds score will be down given performances and crowds are down.
