Just opinion and not actually fact!!!
1. If he left, no one leaves without selling but wtf would buy FC. Said before people are queuing up to invest never mind buying NOT.
2. He’s invested everything in the squad and training facilities and had to cut costs in admin.
3. Hudgell’s an ambulance chaser who repeatedly lost £500,000
a season, spat his dummy out, threatened to walk away until somebody felt forced to step up. It’s only rumours that AP has turned down investment opportunities. I’ve not heard anything viable. He’s openly asked for outside investment, see 1.
4. We had Gentle who I might add seemed to be the real deal. Oh my, Radford did a real number on him talking AP into getting shot and giving the job to him. McRae was another who did a number on AP. The one thing I do regret was AP kept Radford on 2 years too long. Radford oversaw our poor recruitment for his last 2 seasons and there lies the rub Taylor Shaull Griffin.
5. Bollucks, if he’d thrown the toys out the pram, you wouldn’t have something to whine about.
6. Covid left us nigh on broke, how he keeps this club going God only knows. Where does the cash come from to pay anyone off. He got shot of Reynolds, must have cost a packet.
7. Your only true quote.
You’ve always been a whinger, who rarely attended, now you’ve got the perfect excuse, you no longer live in Hull. Do us all a favour and give up. You and that barometer wielding idiot Tarquin, lives the other side of the world and pontificates on all things FC. I am and have been and always will be a pass holder, I have the right to be called a fan (fanatic) and therefore have the right to criticise my club, anyone else is a casual supporter and therefore does not have that right.
Anyone arguing that AP should sell up is an idiot. I’ve posted elsewhere that the blame should be directed from top to bottom but this squad should shoulder the blame for what’s happening now, end of.

He has been offered investment from a few people - he went to Atropa Pharmacy's MD for 200k - and he was going to give them it, but he wanted a share, or a place on the board in return. AP turned it down

Interesting when you consider Atropa is a main sponsor and seem to be well thought of by the club, yet when help is offered they are happy to turn it away. AP either has something in the pipeline or has too much pride to have more members on the board.

That is complete rubbish wherever you’ve got that from and has never happened.

Here's another blast from the past

Whoa, you're not allowed to challenge outlandish rumours as unfounded

Until you can give viable evidence of what you claim, it’s hearsay, therefore rumour. I have not heard anything viable to AP turning down investment opportunities. He’s openly requested others to invest in FC, no one has come forward unless you can PROVE otherwise.

I don’t believe the Atroopa Pharmacy claim one bit, if Pearson did reject them I’m sure they’d have taken their bat and ball home.

Even for a SL club a 200k investment isn’t exactly huge money. It would’ve been swallowed up in the first season. Not that I’d complain at a 200k investment.

Right now Pearson needs to start thinking about easy wins. Needs to start giving us fans something positive.

There’s not much to enjoy at the minute but if they announced extensions to Balmforth, Stavely, Armstrong & Litten I’d be fairly happy that the club is tying down our best youth and has a long term plan in place.

Obviously, can’t really be handing out new contract to first teamers as they need to step up and earn it. And perception would be we’re rewarding mediocrity. Think right now, only ones I’d offer contracts too would be Savelio, Cator & Fash but moving forward the last two should be squad players who are around our 21 vying for spots when injuries/form is poor.

“You and that barometer wielding idiot Tarquin, lives the other side of the world and pontificates on all things FC. “

This is great but unexpected !

I actually bought a season pass about 5 years ago and obviously didn’t use it.
I bought my brother a season pass this year as he’s off sick from work with stage 4 cancer.
I’m over in Hull in mid June and will be paying for a seat in Corporate box at one of the games.

I also coached players that went onto play for Hull FC and also helped out on the Scholarship programme.
I was a Shareholder and was active behind the scenes at times.

I buy Merchandise most years and have it shipped over for my daughters to wear, who are big fans. and of course a tee shirt and shirt here and there for myself.

I was of course at both games in Sydney.

Not sure what else I can do apart from contribute on here as to where FC are going wrong and right when they do.

My Barometer theorem is widely respected by Coaches and players alike.

it’s a forum - if we all had the same opinions it would be beyond boring

Will you have to put '[ithe barometer[/i' into kennels when you fly over here in June?
If its coming across with you can we have a meet-up and a cud chew over a few beers?

Slight change of subject but did anyone see Rovers v Cas last night? I think , given how Cas played it’s gonnna be a straight scrap between us and Wakey now for the wooden spoon and cannot help but wonder if we should have gone with Last as our coach for a while longer - I know people wanted us to sever all ties with anything to do with Radders at the time But Cas looked well coached and resilient and a lot better than when Radders had them.

Rovers were well off and Cas looked hopeless. We made the right choice in not giving him the job
