Nobody knows exact figures financially, reading old articles Pearons very vague in the facts he gives.

Everyone presumes we pay £250k for rent.

The article states it used to be 20/30k annually when Hull city wernt in the premier league, but only shot up to £250k due to hull city playing premiership football.

My question is what happened to the rent figure when Hull City dropped back out of the premiership years ago, did that rent fee drop back down to 20/30k annually?

Its never been mentioned since city were relegated. Unless ive missed it.

How much was our covid loan?
And will the amount used to pay off the covid loan be used next season to invest in the team?

I think its about time a supporters group sat with Pearson and Smith and fired some direct questions.

Having it too cosy at the moment, with no transparancy given to fans , for future plans.

Plead poverty and then radio silence. CAN pearson push this club forward or is it being run down slowly but surely?

With regards the rent money, I vaguely recall reading something about it. I think it gets assessed every so many years ( not sure by who or what basis) and when it was last assessed it was when City were in the PL so it went up. Think they went down that season so it fell unluckily.
All a bit vague I know but I don't remember all the details. Hopefully it gets reevaluated again soon!

Never thought he was out special and been poor at Huddersfield. Can’t get in their team despite being on good money. Young lads like Wallis and Halsall keeping him out the team. Wouldn’t go near him.

Sadly I do think any of them will be ready to properly challenge.

Wainhouse is recovering well from his ACL surgery and has a pretty good attitude. He’ll be 18 by preseason, I reckon he’ll overtake Gardner in the pecking order and he’ll make a couple appearances.

Kye Armstrong is a tough one, he’s a talent but think there’s just a few players ahead of him.

I think Jack Charles will have a good future but needs to fill out and work on his defense.

Hodgson & Dawson probably 2 years away from challenging the team sheet I think

Wainhouse is supposed to be a freak and very talented.

If you told me we could sign 1 of them to a lifelong deal it would be Armstrong and I wouldn’t even need to think about it.

I’m obviously not saying he is going to have the same career but it’s clear he has modelled his game on Isaah Yeo as they have similar frames and both play that first receiver but with a run threat as well

I always thought our rent was 50% of all gate money, received above that from the first 7,500 fans. 7,500 being our average crowd during our last season at The Boulevard.
