Adam Pearson saved the club every bit as much as the Allams did. There's lots of talk about the successes that we achieved under Adam, but I think that gets forgotten. From what I could find out, the Hart brothers were the only other gig in town at the time when it came to rescuing us from the Buchanan/Hinchliffe plundering (though there may have been others in the background). Had that happened, I don't think we'd have been a Premier League club within a few years...
As others have mentioned, AP is the architect of the modern Hull City. He made mistakes, but he held his hands up to them. And he treat the club and the fans with a respect that very few chairmen or owners seem to manage. He'll have ruffled a few feathers along the way, I get that, and I think all parties see now that coming back to replace Duffen was not the wisest of moves, but I don't care. His vision and hard work provided us with days, seasons, eras that seemed unimaginable in the 1990s. As someone who loves Hull City, I feel nothing but gratitude towards the man. And I really hope he gets through this horrible illness OK.
