    Can't believe the darksiders are paying that shower of **** £1.8 million in wages, it's an insult to their fans. They're massively over paying 'em for the calibre of players they are, Rovers are only £600,000 in front of 'em and Rovers are by far an higher class of players.

    They’re not paying anything close to that, Pearson is lying through his teeth, it’s a budget squad and the results are exactly what they deserve.

    Rovers are spending the cap, plus all the under the table extras, but I’m all for it if they can help break the Wigan/Saints monopoly.

    Pearson is very conspicuous by his absence, he needs to make a statement soon, quite rightly the fans aren't happy.

    Hull FC can confirm that head coach Tony Smith has left the club by mutual consent.

    Now Smith and Stanley's gone they want Pearson's head, who do they think will run the Club?
    I can't see Pearson being able to sell it, he has no asset's. Rent's the Stadium, losing thousands a week, players not worth much, no Gateshead to merge with.
    Not looking good for 'em.

    I heard today that Malcolm Walker has bought the club. Nothing to back it up, only the source, who is a Fc fan ITK ( but never goes) He wasn't sure if he'd bought it outright or Pearson had just welcomed him on board.
    i was told some weeks ago by one of the local lads involved in Rovers that no-one locally was willing to back Pearson anymore and that he was looking for a way out. They felt sorry for his prediciment.
    Either way something had to give at Fc because they are a 5hitshow at the moment.

    The manager has been hooked so it looks like major changes are afoot.

    Pearson done his usual trick it seems. Been telling Tony for a week all is well then rang him today and sacked him.

    It might be true, seems somebody's gonna invest.

    Why isn’t anyone locally wanting to back Pearson, I’m not really into rugby so it’s probably something I’ve missed

    Story goes the 'old faithfuls' think he has under invested and is personally taking or paying himself too much out of the club.

    A pox on both of them, but you could have posted very similar about KR a few short years ago. It's always been cyclical, and I wouldn't be at all surprised in years to come to see City skint, yet again. :emoticon-0125-mmm:
