Not personally, no. But a look at her FC website of LinkedIn profile shows how qaulified she is for the CEOs position. This isn't a personal thing, just a concern that we have no real experienced directors other than AP, and he's admitted he's happy for the others to more or less run the club whilst he's at LUFC.

James Clark, glorified DJ cum Journalist (ok that's meant as a joke), he holds a degree in media, marketing & journalism and a BA Hons in digital media, a 'director' he is not however, narrow band of experience before joining FC and nothing that suggests he is qualified for the role within the size of organisation that he holds a fair portion of the reigns for.
Richard Munsen, another newbie with little experience and a very narrow employment history, he might have gone to Hull University but it appears he didn't complete a degree course??
That's your directors in a nutshell, on the cheap ever so slightly springs to mind, add in Pearson & it's hardly surprising we are not as hot as we should be in some areas and that's being polite tbh.
Measure twice, cut once as an old tailor told me, under Pearson we hardly get the measuring stick out, make a cut, go by emotion and cut again..and again..

Sarah Mcallister has trebled hull fc commercial sales in the time she has had at the club and I think adam Pearson knows what he is doing and knows who to trust around him

If you can back that assertion up with any empirical evidence it would be appreciated. Also I applaud your trust. Though I prefer to rely on evidence as opposed to blind trust.

Really need to see the evidence of this.
Under Uncle Kath we did £1million through the shop, are you saying thats now £3million.
Under Uncle Kath P&O were paying £100kpa are you saying A small car dealer in York is paying £300kpa
If this was the case AFP would not bat an eye lid at 2000 fans not turning up.
