Easy one to answer that.

If The club did not sign quality players there would be an even bigger shift away from the club. One thing Pearson cannot be called for is his willingness to put his month worth his mouth is player wise. We must be one of the very few clubs who have paid fee's for players in recent seasons. For one reason or another some of these players have not worked out (Daniel Holdsworth is a prime example). Many of these signings will have been sorted many months ago (Pritchard / Taylor / Manu etc).

At what point has it been announced that Manu will be on 6 figures?

Subsequently, the general mood has declined significantly. The very real prospect of not shifting as many season tickets as normal / corporate sponsors not renewing has fueled this concern. There are several reasons for this I feel.

Unfortunately there are many on here who it would seem would like to see Pearson fail.

So, you reckon Manu won't be on 6 figures? As long as it's above £50k, did we need another 2nd rower?

If we can't afford a marquee player, we shouldn't sign one.

I don't think anyone on here wants Pearson to fail, least of all me. And god knows where we'd be without him. But I'm sorry for feeling a little bit miffed at a bloke that's telling people at award ceremonies that there 'may not be a club to support' if we don't buy a pass, but will happily spend over £175k on one player.
The problem I have is merely the rhetoric and it's irony.

Perhaps so, but it does seem those who are the biggest critics (of the club / Pearson / Radford) are the ones who are not actively contributing to the clubs coffers to try and make things better.

Pearson and Radford are not without criticism by any means and fans staying away is their prerogative, but it is quite ironic that those stay away fans actually feel they are doing something by staying away is a meaningful protest. Quite the contrary, its damaging the club no end.

Who exactly are you referring to when you claim this?

Pearson needs a wake up call.If he went out and brought in a decent coach that would be the message of intent fans would respond to buying season passes
We now have another unqualified coach for the under 23s.
The next step will be Yeaman coaching the under19s

I agree but when I have emailed him (constructively) before he refuses to admit the LR is doing a bad job and says he has every faith in him, that's why I thought a follow up would be pointless.

So....westerman then???

That is misinformation at best and a downright untruth at worst. A work colleague and Hull fan had taken a lot of stick from Rovers fans and he actually emailed Adam Pearson himself, received a reply in about an hour and proudly pinned it to the notice board. I will quote the relative paragraph.
' I cannot imagine a scenario where fc would be put into administration...that doomsday scenario would not happen unless there was a very dramatic decline in passes and memberships....which will not be this year as passes look steady at the moment'
It cheered up our black and white colleague who nearly managed a round of coffee's.

The coup de gras is ...he thinks he's a brilliant technical coach, maybe defensively....

Good to know we have at least another 12 months of supporting the club then
