Does he employ foreign workers to make kitchens?

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.

Erm, people have been queuing up for years to buy shares in the club, that’s why we’re such a wealthy club. Sometimes I wonder whether you think things through before you post? I’ve said it before, if it wasn’t for AP, we’d be playing in Championship 2 if we were lucky.

I've read a few posts on social media, saying its time for Pearson to go and if he went there will be Hull people ready to invest, I not convinced personally, who wants to invest in a rugby club and why, it would have to be a fan.

Although things aren't great on the pitch, we look pretty good off the pitch, experienced coach, excellent facilities and one of the best youth set ups in the league. Good relationship with Hull City too.

Need to back Smith to make the changes needed, but this will take a couple of years, need to see improvements on the pitch soon though, fans will get fed up.

I have a feeling Pearson and Smith expected our season to be like this.

Not signing related, but interesting to read in HDM's Q&A that the deal for next seasons kit suppliers has been billed 'one of the biggest in Rugby League'. Any idea's who it may be?

No but you are quite warm, like I said I don't know if it is true, but just what I heard from a very reliable source; he is one of Josh Hodgson's best mates, knows Lee Radford very well, and whatever he has told me previously, about Hull, Rovers and Cas, has been absolutely spot on, so I don't doubt his comments.

Castore are growing their portfolio in the UK across football and Union, maybe them?

Castore is what I’ve heard whether it’s true or not time will tell.

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

I meant that it was Josh who'd told him, and also Radford, not TS. Like I said, true or not I didn't know but this guy has told me stuff way in advance of them happening and you seem to take umbrage with anyone who posts on here that doesn't suit your opinion. Just press ignore if you don't like it; sarcasm isn't your strongest suit.
