Plus the media picked up on it either Thursday or Friday last week, if it was fake you’d have thought he’d have come out and said so by now.

The comments in the screen shot do not show in AP's comments only one comment that says 'Con man'. There is another from someone else that says 'Go on Adam' which I assume means if those comments were indeed made they've been deleted along with a number of comments from other seemingly disgruntled investors who have said similar. Seems AP along with many others have invested and looks like they've all been taken for a ride, hence why there are other comments such as scammers, con man etc people other than AP. Don't see what the fuss is with it to be honest and seem that person posting it really has a vendetta against AP.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

I completely disagree. Regardless of personal financial loss, using language with sexual violence metaphors and swearing on a public business platform is unprofessional, arrogant and offensive.

I think the problem is the comments were like something you’d expect to see over a dispute about a second hand sofa on Facebook marketplace rather then a social media post from an owner of a sports club and supposed successful businessman.
Like I said when it was first doing the rounds, seemed amateurish for a man in his position to rant on social media like that but it’s hardly a big deal. He’s obviously deleted it now on second thoughts. Just hope any money he’s lost doesn’t affect the club.

Add in the irony of him complaining about destroying a legacy!

Not saying it's right or wrong if those comments have come from AP or that I agree with the alleged comments , I do agree it's unprofessional and a poor choice of wording used, I just don't see the fuss and hysteria that a certain person is creating over it.

It’s almost as if Pearson & company are getting rid of his mates out of the club. Understandable why he’d be upset, loses the inside connection.

Wakefield who finished last in 2023 and were rigghly relegated have scored more performance points than Hull, Hudds and Cas for the 2024 season. Full time, superleague salaried squad playing against part time teams and they get rewarded more than super league teams.
So it was better to get relegated, this system is so flawed.

Yeah that is frigging ridiculous. Even all the bluster about Max Jowitt breaking the points record, against part timers for the most part.
