According to the Pearson interview the ‘out of town’ investment should be sorted by the end of the year, but he was vague on what it would mean and to be honest it seemed to me like a sales pitch to try smoke out some investment from local businesses people with some kind of attachment to the club like what they have at Rovers. It’s obvious the out of town investor he was confident would be sorted by the end of the year is Andrew Thirkill in some way, there’s no way the Myler appointment is coincidence.
As for Rowleys loyalty to Salford I don’t think it exists. Like Watson I just don’t think he wanted to uproot his family for what would have likely been a 3-4 year contract at Hull. The first big club to offer him a job commutable from Manchester he’ll take, it’s obvious that will be Leeds.

The investment must surely already by in situ or commit.
AP went from backing Tony Smith to sacking him and offering good money for his replacement. A total about turn during the same period Myler arrived at the club. It's irrefutable that appointment was a premise to impending injection of funds.
The only way Hull can offer a return on investment is healthy/big crowd attendance. The only way that can and will happen is quality on the pitch, results and a match day that entertains. That's the reassuring bit, for me.
I think signings like Asiata, Stewart, Rimbu and even Abdul show we'll be going differently, but there still needs to be a couple of strike-player signings to make the new squad a genuine contender for the last/lower play-off spots. We don't have anywhere near enough try-scoring potential across wing/centre as it stands.

I spent a fortune last season on FC but vowed I wouldn't spend a penny this season whilst Pearson was still in place as the club was being run on a shoestring and an absolute shambles in every department. I haven't been to one game and couldn't give two bucks if yiu want to abuse me for it. But I'm still a fan and will be getting back in the gravy train next season and buying merchandise and going to games again. What the club really needs to do and I think they will is really emphasise how this is a fresh start and a new beginning and I hope that includes Pearson being gone and a new owner in place, new coach, new team and finally FC in good knowledgeable hands. That will really energise fans just like what's happened at Hull City

So Seb “spends a fortune” on fc…rightly ho and if Pearson does go…are you going to thank him for 2 WEMBLEY wins and another appearance in one,Yes his tenure is tarnished a bit but has been a good owner but seeing what you know about rugby you could write on a stamp with a roller,il just leave you to it and let you enjoy rovers

There's no doubt pearson has thrown a good chunk of his personal wealth at the club. Its easy to forget he had to settle a large tax bill left by the hetheringtons and also paid some hefty transfer fees in the early days of his tenure. He's also made sure we had a good amount of spend above the salary cap for much of his time in charge.
He's been led up the garden path by a number of people from mcrae through to smith and this is where his reputation amongst the support base has been tarnished.
I'm hoping he can walk away with his pockets refilled with what the club owe him and someone with deeper pockets can take over.
Whatever happens, he gave us that monumental day at webley in 2016 and I'll always be grateful for that
