I understand that the club's former commercial director Adam Pearson is close to rejoining #lufc. It's hoped details will be confirmed Tues.

#lufc Details of Pearson's intended role to be confirmed. He was recently at Sheffield Wednesday.

In other news , Adam Pearson today became executive director of Leeds Utd. Left Sheff Weds late last month. Story online v soon #lufc #swfc

I'm sure you'll all know the family that have offered to buy Hull FC from Pearson.

That family can stay well away, thanks.

I'm actually not certain which family you are referring to, but I've narrowed it down to two and neither of them seem like a very attractive prospect.

If it's the family i'm thinking of, they can p*ss right off.

Koucash (I would guess his wife) is the rumour on twitter.

I would have no problem with that family owning Hull FC. They have the financial clout to provide investment to take us to the next level and could buy Allam 3 or 4 times over.

The Koukash one is a very, very strong rumour around the Leeds area.

It's only two days since Marwan Koucash tweeted "If I am not involved with Salford, I would not be involved in RL at all". Doesn't mention his wife though.

We can confirm the appointment of Adam Pearson as our new Executive Director. He will assist Massimo Cellino on all aspects of #lufc.

Under RFL rules Marwan cant own 2 clubs so Mandy would have to run one.

He couldn't give Salford away anyhow.
