A couple of paragraphs from an Amber Nectar article (Things We Think We Think #24): "Some have chosen to believe that Nigel Pearsonâs motive for leaving was money, and money alone, but that doesnât chime with what we know of the man at all, and weâve heard stories of a manager driven to disillusionment by interference and lack of support from the clubâs front office as well as the sidelining of his staunch ally Adam Pearson. Radio Humbersideâs David Burns last week made a remark that aligns with what weâve been told, so weâre not as inclined to believe money is the main factor in Pearsonâs defection as some." and: "Weâd feel a lot better about the appointment of any new manager if Adam Pearson was in total control, but his authority has been gravely eroded. Recently, the personal assistant shared by both Pearsons was made redundant without the prior knowledge and consultation of our director of football, which illustrates the curious lack of regard our owners have for a man whose services are coveted by other football clubs. When we asked Assem Allam directly what value he places on Adam Pearsonâs continued involvement in the club (in light of him buying Hull FC), the answer was troublingâ¦âif he goes, he goes, the club will go on.â Yes, the club will go on, but with a dearth of experience in running a football club competently. Does anyone really think Mark Maguire or Assem Allam could do a better job than Adam Pearson recruiting a new manager?" http://www.ambernectar.org/blog/2011/11/things-we-think-we-think-24/
In any organisation things will happen which on the face of it sound harsh. However there maybe a reasonable explanation why the PA was pushed out. NP demeanour before this Lesta approach happened seems OK, so I feel the main reason he is moving is money.
I can't say his ability to choose a manager is high on the list of things I'd be worried about us losing, he's a bit hit and miss isn't he: Molby Taylor Parkinson Brown Jewell (Derby) Clough (Derby) Dowie Pearson ???
