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

Wowzers

Great news

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.

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.

Thank you Adam and welcome to our new owners. Exciting times ahead!

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 £

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)!!

, rovers got a couple of lucky breaks which have made a major difference. One is the idiot radford choosing his future best man over Hull FC supporter Mikey Lewis and the other was smith spitting his dummy resulting in peters being brought in.

I'm hoping we have the same fortune with a couple of prospective coaches turning us down but cartwright coming in who I think is exactly what the club needs right now. He probably won't oversee us winning anything but will definitely help turn around the Hull FC oil tanker
