Scary thing is, I'm not even sure it is a deliberate troll.

Great post Mrs B

Okay - I suppose we can discuss Rovers finances. Sensibly.

As a RL club been sold for more than the owner paid for it in recent times?
Or is the general trend to wait until it all goes t*ts up and pick it up for
a lower sum?

I don't know, but it's not the first place I'd consider if I was looking for a return on my investment. Doubly so in these straitened times.

This is the bit I have never understood about Pearson buying Hull FC.
I cannot see how he can turn Hull FC into a club big enough to
sell for more than the £2-3million reported plus any losses incured
building the club back up into profit.

It does not matter who he signs, crowds of 14,500 needed just to break even
are a tough ask in the current climate.

I think that we all know the only way to make any money of RL in Hull............and it does not involve 2 pro teams.

Personally I don't think AP or any other chairman is in rugby to make money, as there simply isn't any money to make. Football's one of the biggest sports in the world and most clubs are run at a loss so what chance do little rugby clubs have of making a lot of money?

I agree, maybe AP just wants the prestige of owning a sports team.

When he bought the club he said that he was the only person to make an offer for the club, hardly something with great resale value.

I agree with this, these people have their fingers in other pies in order to make their coin. An average person will buy a playstation to play with and keep entertained, however if you had some serious coin you just buy a sports team for the buzz.

When you look at the companies that Adam Pearson is involved with at a Directors level.
They are not big companies or generating serious amounts of cash.

thats what i thought he tried to buy 3 football clubs but couldnt raise the cash a rugby club 10 times cheaper and like you say he has the prestige of owning a sports club whether hes interested in rugby or not

Why have the Mods allowed this thread to be derailled by talk about AP?

What has AP got to do with NHs comments?

If the forum want to discuss AP then why don't they do it on the FC site or start up another topic titled 'AP' on here!

I agree, one poster had the audacity to say "back on topic..." before blabbering on about AP.

Because we sleep.

Conversations develop, but yes - the proper place for this is the Hull board.
