It's not so long ago that Pearson was held in much lower esteem than right now
Are you basing that sweeping statement on the thoughts of a few idiots on FC's board who wanted him out ? Because I don't remember a mass criticism of anything Pearson has done since he bought the club. Sure there's been debate about the coach but again, in general, most fans know that Pearson is the best thing that has happened at Hull for years in the way he has restructured the club. He admitted to costly mistakes when he came in, notably being badly advised on recruitment, but other than that we have produced a good few young players into SL and we are starting to benefit. There's always criticism which is fine if constructive, but I don't think Pearson has ever been on the wrong side of the fans other than maybe a few airheads who seem to think that there is a queue of rich blokes lining up to buy him out. Even they've gone to ground at the moment.
