of course he's entitled to his opinion. But we have honestly disagreed to it. Simples really

I'm sure if you dip into your millions and make AP an offer, he'd be very interested.

So hang about, some of you think Pearson been a resounding success then?
Lets go through a list
Performances - no different from under Hetherington Attendances - No different Cups - 2 CCs for Pearson, 1 CC for Hetherington (+ a GF) Playing staff - Compare the McRae (1st time round) team to our current team - is the current one better? I dont think so Coaching team - Hetherington choices had its ups and downs - McRae was great first time round, Sharp was out of his depth (even if he was a nice bloke yawn), Agar was dire - Pearsons - Gentle - out of his depth - Radford poor to start, had a two year purple patch now been dire for three years Background/support/trainng facilities - Hetherington badly let us down in this area, Pearsons thrown the kitchen sink at supporting the coaching team yet were no better than the grossly underfunded mismanaged Hetherington era
Pearson has put everything in place for us to be a top side yet has relied on a coach who simply hasnt got the skills to make us a top side - that is criminal and shows clear incompetence on Pearsons part

Instead of responding with sarcasm why don't you give your honest opinion and reasoning to the following question "Do we look any closer to being a Grand Final winning side than at the time Pearson took over?" I'd be genuinely interested to hear this.

If Hetheringon etc stayed, we would have been close to going bust, be similar position to Bradford or Widnes.
No way would we have won two cups Pearson has been great for Hull, has he made mistakes yes and his loyalty to Radford worries me. We are in a better place on and off the pitch, ok we arent quite were we want to be, but it miles away from the Kath/Rule and Agar era.

Im not disputing they ran us into the ground but even though they did we achieved just as much under them as we have under Pearson

What does a Grand Final winning side look like? Salford made the final last year and could have won it.

Dave K pretty much covers what I would write...

but I would also add (to underli e DaveK's point) that Pearson has invested heavily in the off the field side of the club, he has brokered a much more positive relationship with KR and many of the other SL clubs, we aren't, as a club, in the shadow of Gary and the RFL, OK the joint academy didn't work out, but at least he tried something new.
