    It achieved what it was always supposed to have achieved. He sold loads of extra tickets to his white film.

    Thought he might go in with that fans consortium for the GFH 25%. Must be other famous Leeds fans who could chip in on that.

    Does this mean Pearson is plowing money into the club?

    No. Will you ever learn.nobody ever has or will plough money into it. They might loan it some at extortionate rates

    Interesting development.

    My cynical side might think that Massivego has got someone credible in to do the sacking of Redfearn on his behalf.

    My optimistic side is hoping that if someone as sensible as Adam Pearson has come on board there might be more to it than just working for the lunatic and it's to be a credible face for takeover talks or he's part of a takeover.

    My thoughts are that the next takeover is very close. Could be wrong of course.

    I'll only believe when I see a substantially better squad take the field for first game of new season. I don't trust anything that comes out of club at momement

    ADAM PEARSON will tomorrow be unveiled as an executive director at Leeds United – after calling time on a similar role at Sheffield Wednesday.

    The Yorkshire Post understands the former Hull City chairman met owner Massimo Cellino over the weekend to discuss a possible return to Elland Road.

    Agreement was struck in principle and Pearson, whose departure from Hillsborough is yet to be made public after he was appointed to the Owls’ three-man football committee just last month, returned to Elland Road yesterday to finalise matters.


    It is believed he has already been allocated an office and will start in the role on Tuesday morning.


    Pearson’s first task is likely to be the search for a new head coach, with Cellino understood to be on the verge of removing the popular Neil Redfearn.

    Mark Warburton, soon to be on his way from Brentford, has already been linked with a post that, for all United’s recent travails, is still an attractive proposition.

    The reasons behind Pearson’s departure from Wednesday remain unclear, but a desire to return to Elland Road is believed to be an important factor for Leeds-based Pearson.
