You obviously haven’t heard what Pearson had to say.'"
Totally agree. Sounds like a civil conversation between the pair, and Pearson has been full of praise. This is from the YP:

"I went to see Lee straight after the end of the game and we had 10, 15 minutes talking.
"I don't think he was surprised (by the decision). I told him 'I think that's it.'
"And he said 'yes, I agree.' He always said to me he'd know when it was time to go.
"And, looking at it, seven years in one (coaching) job is a long time in any sport especially with the power of social media and the way people are these days.
"He's had a really good innings and we should always remember what he has done for this club; his legacy is winning at Wembley and winning back-to-back Challenge Cups which no one has ever done with Hull.
"But aspects of that performance tonight were unacceptable and he knows that."
"I asked him to tell the players and all the guys first.
"Sky needed an interview so I said I'd handle Sky for him and he said 'great'. That's when I went out to do it. That is as clear as day.
"It wouldn't have made sense to leave it another day. It means now we've got two seasoned coaches - (assistants) Andy Last and Kieron Purtill - going in tomorrow (Friday) starting fresh from tomorrow.
"To have Lee going back in Friday morning to say his 'goodbyes' would have been pointless and to leave it another day, it would have got out in the media.
"This feels the right time to make a change but I want to go on record thanking Lee for his efforts for the club and wish him and his family all the best in the future."
