    I don't, I ignore every word he utters and have done for the past couple of years. He's completely full of ****.

    The above doesn't sound as though you've been ignoring anything he's ever said.

    I wonder what Adam thinks now? Seeing everything he helped build being systematically destroyed by the Allams. Maybe he doesn't care, but I doubt that's the case when he invested a fair chunk of his life in building something special.

    Hull City made Adam Pearson a millionaire.

    Hull City could have made the Allams a whole lot more than that if they weren't such idiots.

    Considering the impact he had on the club, his reward was very small, he barely made a million out of it.

    We all thought it was amazing when he came in.

    Then we found out he was a ****.

    Yes - and he was probably 'obliged' to say it I would suspect.

    Do you need me to explain what ‘past couple of years’ means?

    Not denying that at all. He was entitled to make a few bob on his gamble. I just don't get the double standards on here. Pearson gambled with £300k of his own and an interest free loan off his mate and walked away with a nice little earner. The Allam come along, spend considerably more and are dragged over the coals for wanting to do exactly the same.
    Pearson and the Allams could have both come unstuck and walked away with sod all.

    And one got the fans 'onside' big style, and the other two, well, didn't.

    I think if we're being honest here,dropping out of the Prem drove a 3'rd away and the other 3'rd have indeed stopped going due to the spat with the Allams.It's very much down to the individuals choice but personally I wish the Stadium was still open and the away stadiums.Where do you stand on this?

    Plenty of them were tourists, not City fans, you could tell from all the ****ing about at the turnstiles that it was all new to them.
