I would have fully expected FC fans to have known this, what the real reason for the departure is and who had put pressure on Pearson. I am just amazed that so many appear to have been taken in by the cover story of injuries.

I am fairly sure the injuries have been genuine. I think we all know he has been battling other issues as well (although there seems to conflicting stories about what those issues actually are), but that doesn't mean the injuries are a lie. He did play for the reserves a few weeks ago.

He played against Wakey at Springhead Mr Zucchini but alas he never finished the game, probably were he picked up his latest wrist injury.

"At Rovers" how long has he played for you??

Amazing isn't it, Rovers fans get to know more about FC players than the FC management seem to. If you are so confident of the story, type up the details. Amazing that a player who apparently was told he woyld not play again ended in couplr of reserve team games and a first team squad. For what.? For some cloak and dagger scenario? Do you really think the management of either clubs would be that bothered to go to such lengths? If you do I think it's you that has been taken in, Hook line and sinker.

Anyway.....

Still one of the 2016 immortals

As he always will be

Give it a rest. Can you imagine if your lot had a player that had helped you win one, nevermind two challenge cups retire? You'd be taking about him like he was a saint in 100 years time, no matter the circumstances of his exit. Tuli deserves a thread that's not bogged down with the recent speculation, whatever the truth of it. Good luck Tuli, great player that made Sheldon look an absolute mug.

I notice at least one of my posts has been removed. Not sure why?

and mine too...no idea why?
