Quote: Keiththered "I think you sum up Pearson pretty well.'"


Based on what, he has pretty delivered on everything he has promised so far, he said he would make us contenders and within a few years he help us achieved something no one had ever done, twice in fact. In maybe took longer than expected and there is no doubt he has made mistakes, but Peasron certainly isn't full of hot air.

I fully expect him us to make some signings, maybe not as many as I 4 but there will be signings.

I wouldn't swap Pearson for nay other owner.

Quote: R.B.A "Adam Pearson isn't stupid. He knows that there is no way he can deliver on what he came out with on Friday. It just isn't feasible. He is trying to get a reaction out of his players. I actually think that it will work and you will beat Castleford on Friday night. Then he can come out and say that pride and faith has been restored, thus enabling him to continue with this squad into 2019.'"


Pearson makes a statement and you read between the lines and know what he really meant. The players however will see the statement as a threat to their jobs and so improve their performance?

Well unless they're as thick as you appear to be then, of course, they'll up their performances. Do you think they actually want to lose their job.

If it takes that sort of threat to galvanise them into action then there is no hope for them as professional sportsmen. Radford must be very pleased with the quality of his signings.

Glad to see that you are running true to form and manage to get your personal insult in your post. It’s always nice to see you react. You are so predictable.

I couldn't hear the robin sing if not for you.:20187.jpg



Pearson seems to be telling prospective new signings that whatever terms are agreed they don't really mean anything, he will rip up their contracts should he ever feel like it. Why would anyone sign for a club that does that?

It will be interesting to see who leaves but I don't know why anyone should agree without substantial settlement. Abdull has probably been too honest he should have waited to be sacked and collected a pay off.

Adam Pearson is as culpable as anyone else if indeed Hull have awarded long contracts to players who they now don't want. In truth this happens to every club at times what you shouldn't do is announce to the world who the slackers are and then hope someone will pay good money for them. Especially if you have already spent their wages on others.

Radford is right the next few weeks will be long & difficult but they will pass. Next season will arrive everyone will be on nil points and Hull will have pretty much the same squad IMO. And the vast majority of fans will have renewed their season tickets.

But hey I am just a Rovers troll just like when I told you that your problems were far deeper than a few injuries. Adam Pearson at least, now agrees with that.

And why should we believe some dobbin piece of who has been conspicuous by his absence over the last 2 years and has only just popped up now like a turd from a blocked drain?

F.C. must be really proud to have such an eloquent individual as a supporter.

Looks like Pearson's clear the decks takes another twist.

He wants to get rid of players but only if someone pays the club a transfer fee, I thought expecting players just to walk away from legally binding contracts was pushing it a bit, expecting another club to pay for the privilege is almost laughable.

Looks like Donny will have a decent side next year.

Quote: barham red "https

But Hull and Radford wnat to keep Abdul, we don't actually want rid, so they are demanding a fee, quite right IMO.

Same as can't just release players we don't want, we have to either hope they find a club or pay them off, it's a two way street.

I'm pretty sure that Pearson and Radford will get rid of the players they want too, players like Abdul, Talanoa will find other clubs quite easily, it just might still cost Perason to pay them off a bit to make up the gap in wages.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?:



Quote: barham red "https

The article is about Abdull wanting to leave, a player who Hull have invested in for many years.
They've even recently offered him a 2 year contract extension.
Absolutely nothing to do with breaking legally binding contracts.
It's your post that is laughable, I guess you've never heard of transfer fees before.

Being a Dobbin, he probably thinks players are queuing up to jump ship and join them for nowt a la Paul Cooke.

They maybe did want to keep him but according to their statements no longer want to do so if he wants away. A view apparently shared by some supporters. It is natural to reject a player who has rejected their club. According to most posts he had been rubbish anyway this season. Last year posts were thanking us for developing an F.C. player. Tim Sheens did and he showed that even against super league clubs. I wonder why he has not developed further this season. He seems to have gone backwards under the Radford regime

He couldnn't get a game with sneyd, connor and kelly playing then he got injured and missed most of teh season so what do you expect him to do? The club obviously rate him and the supporters' view is irrelevant. Hull wanted him to stay so it's natural they would hold out for a fee for him
