| Quote: DiggerHFC "Great news for the great club and the long suffering fans of which I'm a member, I don't know how AP got us through the covid era, I do hope his debts have been repaid and he can leave the club with his head held high, gave me two of the greatest days of my life.
Onto the new owners both clearly know what they are doing and the potential of FC, bring on the new season'"
Fantastic news for us all and really good to see some credit to AP who like him or not has really gone through it lately

| Wow! Wasn't expecting that.
100% takeover, like most,.I was thinking 49% investment at best
Got to thank AP for everything, even though towards the end has tarnished his era a bit. But still thank you AP
Seen talk about a new stadium out own stadium...wouldn't that be amazing. Probably the only way that the new owners could really earn any real money
Funnily enough, I heard today that HCC are looking at and happily so, selling the MKM, west park,.Walton street.etc to the Hull City owner, who has huge plans for the area (sounds a lot like allams) with one small sticking point atm, which is a building / plot of land on there that HCC don't own (yet)
Plenty of space on that vast area for a smaller stadium...rather than looking at Costello or birds eye site...just a thought

| Brilliant news for the club and the fans, with some proper investment on board hopefully we'll start to work our way back to the top.
Also thank you to AP for helping deliver 2 of the best days in my life and for also guiding the club through covid I can't imagine the stress, worry and sleepless nights he'd have endured throughout.

Certainly interesting and exciting times ahead for the club and us all following Hull FC and sheer panic across the border as the rovers fans take in the news.

There's already a "who has the richest power board" argument going on (it's us BTW)

At the forum tonight It'll be fitting if someone pays tribute to him for the pivotal part he has played in our recent history.

It’s interesting and good for SL, the main sticking point for me as an outsider looking in, is now the board aren’t slaves to the smc or hull city for that matter where will the roadmap go
New stadium would be a start but it’s a major investment
Playing squad has already seen money
Training facilities need to be moved from hull uni, living there most of my life I see it day to day and it’s run down and out of date, overused and fc are second fiddle to the uni sports teams
All these things can be eradicated by the click of a finger now AP has gone
Can we all finally agree he was taking his fair share of money out of your club every year ?

We'll see baby steps. The playing field in SL is pretty level other than probably wigan who have the ability to churn out home produced talent year in, year out. The most successful clubs are the ones who make the best decisions. salford have been miles better than us in recent years on the back of lower spend but spend it wisely.
For all of the criticism, myler has clearly seen some quick wins and feedback from the playing squad is everything is miles ahead of recent years. Hopefully he'll continue to look at marginal gains across the board.
I don't think we will see major wads of cash being thrown about, more that they will support losses to allow us to out a competitive team on the park. Talk of a new stadium is ridiculous. We play in the best stadium in the comp, who is going to spend £50m+ on a worse place to play?
As for pearson taking money out, he loaned the club a big amount of money and will have been getting his loans repaid as he could - who would blame him for that?

Agree on the stadium, as I said on x, the Wakefield new stand cost 14m alone, it’s just not viable in the current climate
I think this investment puts the likes of Salford, castleford, and even your higher teams like saints on standby, clubs are sorting themselves out and if you don’t jump on and join in you’ll be left by the wayside
The small term fixes have plugged a gap, but if money solves everything wire would have won the league every year since the birth of SL, right people right time is the key along with the £

cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif |

| Exciting news as everyone has said. It really does have an air of a fresh start for us; new owners, new coach, and there feels like a change in attitude throughout the business.
There is still a lot of work to do and a lot to put right after recent mistakes, but it really does feel like the fightback starts today in earnest.
Those in charge (Thirkill, Hood, Myler, Cartwright) still have to make the right decisions at the right time around the right people (as all sporting clubs do) but I sense an air of optimism suddenly bursting through the grey clouds, a ray of sunshine that we haven't felt for quite some time.
As I said, we still have some way to travel before we are back challenging for honours once more, but I'm feeling a damn sight more chipper than I was six months ago, when I was genuinely fearful as to where we were heading. Reading everyone's post above, I reckon we're all in the best mood we've been in for quite sometime!
Onwards and upwards as always, the fightback is on for those who keep the faith(ful)!!
