Re: questions for Adam Pearson : Fri Apr 12, 2024 8:26 pm  
All just seems a mess. We had a DOR, then we didn't, now we need one again.
We're somehow spending £2.3M on the salary cap, on a championship team.
I also don't think he would be employing new staff , and paying players off, without the spectre of new funding.
All just seems a very hit or miss approach.

Still think the DOR will be James Webster.

He was definitely doing his best to be careful with his words on certain matters. Don't think it's what people wanted to hear but he probably needs to be cautious given how the fan base is reacting at the moment, let alone any legalities that might be involved.

Couple of things I may be reading too much into:

1. Said the investment is coming from outside of Hull. Later, whilst refusing to be drawn on the speculation over the rumoured investors, mentions one of them lives in York. Was that a possible slip?

2. Said that if the head coach is a domestic appointment it will be quick but if it's an overseas appointment it will take time. Then suggests Grix will be in charge for at least three games. So an overseas appointment then?

Re: questions for Adam Pearson : Fri Apr 12, 2024 9:35 pm  
I found it underwhelming in the extreme.

He kept basically saying "I don't like us being challenged on whether we're spending at cap, what you should be asking us is why we've signed such dross" to which the obvious next question, and the question after that, is well why have you signed such dross? Who identified the signings? Why did we do that? Are they still employed? Why? He basically invited that line of questioning three times and Blunderside let it go every time, and at one point apologised for keeping him away from his Friday night bottle of wine.

He was also allowed to get away with saying the spirit in the dressing room is great and they're "all good boys", without anybody bringing up things like, I don't know, Ligi Sao getting sin binned every 15 minutes.

Car crash interview for me.

Certainly didn't seem unduly upset about shipping nearly fifty points every game. Just seemed odd to me generally.

Paul Anderson mentioned elsewhere as DOR.

Learnt very little from that. Don't particularly believe that nobody from Hull has approached wanting to buy or invest. Perhaps that was his way of getting them to increase an offer, or speed things up.

Several further questions should have been asked:

What is happening with Clarky?
Why has the strength and conditioning staff been weakened so much and is that going to be corrected?
Davidson still got a role, as he came with TS?

Sounds like there is some sort of plan, but certainly not as thought out as I'd hoped.

Hope Pearson was being a bit coy on the interview.

Re: questions for Adam Pearson : Fri Apr 12, 2024 11:59 pm  
Yes he was guarded. To me he firmly dismissed the rumoured investors. The York reference was where he last saw Mally Walker at the races - he was enjoying life & not interested in investing.
He made reference to the need for discretion - investors are fearful of social media backlash - pictures of homes etc being published & affecting individuals private lives - too true !
I Wasn't sure if the 20- 25% sat in the stands included Tex Hoy ?
He was clearly hacked off at how the salary cap had been spent ( wasted ) - surely as the CEO he would have a major say in that, or did he just back someone else's judgement ?? Uncle Tony, James Clark ?
He was hopeful of getting player(s) in before the Leeds game.
Recruitment would focus on 3 top signings - Scrum half, second row & centre ( my interpretation of that was Cam Scott is off to Wakey ).
He is in NO doubt that current form is trashing the finances even further, clearly sad that he cant get investment from the local community - was almost advertising for it, clearly happy to sell his shares - talked about minority or majority.
The saga continues.............................

He was let off lightly by the interviewer and all we really know is that a new DOR will be at the club next week.
Still believe any serious investor would want full control of the club and i didnt get the feeling Pearson is interested in that.
Its quite obvious now that Smiths position was quite rightly in doubt several weeks ago.
