SMC groundsmen gone

possibly better to ensure you do both

 

So presumably one of them is still employed by FC?

 

Yeah it's part of the traumatic hang up that prevails I'm affraid.
The fact that Sir Adam actually saved The Tigers and started the Golden period that we've had gets no gratitude I'm affraid.
I sometimes think some would have rather seen us go out of business.

 

To be fair Adam Pearson will always have my gratitude. He's a businessman that that helped us massively and made some money along the way, but when he left us I can't remember hearing a bad word against him. Contrast that for second with when the Allam's finally leave.

 

Nobody did when he left as he told us he was leaving us in good hands.
Do you want to comment on the fact he fiddled a deal, allegedly, for Bartlett to get a mortgage on the kcom. So him and wilkinson could get their money?
Because that's the reality. Bartlett bought us with no money. And AP colluded in that.
Thoughts?

 

Tell us more, I haven't heard this, or conveniently forgot.

 

Yeah I don't care personally.
He saved Hull City and that's good enough for me.

 

David Conn did a great piece in the Guardian

Google : Pearson Bartlett Mortgage

 

I've just read this, it doesn't mention Pearson was involved in dodgyisms?

 

Oohhh!
Interesting.

 

So you'll like the Allams too by that yardstick Julie??

 

Jen knows more. But Bartlett needed to get a mortgage. It was rejected I think once and then Rushed through in a few days. With Pearson giving it a healthy nudge as him and his backer wanted their money quickly. Allegedly. The officer at the council walked straight into a job at the smc afterwards.

 

No not at all.

 

It's the fact that he owns Hull FC that has certain people to recoil into hatred.
DOUBLE FACT !!!

 

Adam Pearson was excellent for Hull City. He did it for the money without the ****ing nonsense spouted by the Allams; two businessmen, two different approaches.

I have been critical of the manner of his exit and still am, but it can be tempered by the fact that, when needed, he more or less brokered the Allam takeover, which, whether we like it or not, we needed. What happened next is beyond belief and not of his doing.

I like what he is doing with Hull FC.

Just my opinion, shaped over a decade (ish)...

 

What he did do effectively was fantastic PR and unite everyone behind the club. I've seen first hand his genuine passion when watching Hull FC, genuine fist pumping like a good un. Can only assume he had the same passion when he owned City.

 

Agreed.

This is why the Allams get my support.

 

Once they've gone, I think a suitable tribute to the last 7 years would be the renaming of a stand after the Allams.

I'm suggesting the Ehab Allam Upper West Stand, and out of respect it should always be left empty. Oh...
