AP mentioned previously that there were impressive commercial deals ahead for 2024, maybe the investment is what he was alluding to?

A name was mentioned to me, but I really don't think it would be the right thing to do by naming this individual, but you'll all have ideas as to who , he is a household name locally, and a big employer around these parts, with the sort of money that would really boost Hull and place us back in the secure bracket.

I can see Investment incoming once we get a new stadium lease secured.

Think AP knows it’s the last chance saloon so will back TS to the hilt.

Invest in what? There is nothing to invest in that would earn money or pay a dividend.
I have always backed Adam Pearson but for the club to go forward he needs to sell his controlling Shareholding in the club and find three or four suitable additions who will buy shares in the club and provide a balanced and more professional board of Directors who actually have a say in how the club is ran.
Pearson may actually find by doing this a huge weight is lifted from his shoulders and he would still be involved as a shareholding director.
I dont see any problem in securing a new stadium lease but i doubt it will have any effect on any new funds coming into the club unless Pearson makes the offer of selling part of his controlling interest in the club.

I go to the same butcher as Tony Smith and he also mentioned that a wealthy local business man is planning a huge steak in the club and that we are bringing in three big forwrds for next season to beef up the pack.

Sorry but somehow I doubt Tony Smith gives away club secrets to his barber.
