fife_owl Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm pretty excited by it. Pearson is forward thinking and has bags of experience. Roeder is a former manager who doesn't want to manage. Which means he will be happy to work on the academy, scouting, and fees (with Pearson). Gray is free to focus on coaching whilst having a seat at the top table influencing recruitment. He can say who he wants, and then wait for them to turn up at training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modboy Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 pearson is an interesting one as in the Hull paper it says he is still giving his all the Hull FC that he owns.Wonder if this is a part time job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.A Baracus Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Adam Pearson is a good appointment. Glenn Roeder is a bit meh but will give him a chance. Could've been worse.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieB Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Very happy with this news. Some people might not agree but this is how modern football is now, and we have been left way behind over the last 15 years. This takeover has given us hope that we're going to actually have a professional set up not just on the pitch but off it too. This is a good move. Very excited for the summer and next season.

shez owl Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Adam Pearson owns Hull FC (rugby league) As a Hull KR fan he is not top of my favourite people list :) The one thing he hasn't done at FC is bring success, lets hope he saves that for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapSmurf Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I think these appointments are a real sign of intent. I really do not get the negativity some people are showing regarding Roeder. Saying that, this is OT after all. Roeder has a vast amount of knowlegde, experience and contacts within the game, both natioanally and on the continent. He has worked with some of the biggest managers in football, managed PL teams and has been involved in the England setup. Adam Pearson has been a success at both Derby, Hull and now Hull FC RL. Commercially highly knowlegable, with more than 14 years experience at board level. I am very impressed we have these two on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandiaowl Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Two very good appointments. We have needed a driving force business leader for many years. We have under achieved in the marketing and sales areas and Pearson has a great record running successful football clubs. He is well known and respected in the game and brings a wealth of experience to the SWFC. Roeder is also a very experienced football man and holds a position of respect in the game, he will be able to open doors we were not able to before and also take the pressure off SG to enable him to concentrate on 1st team matters. If the new owner is going to succeed he needs these type of people in the club and probably a few more will follow. Investment in the team, stadium and commercial areas needs to be managed properly if we are to achieve success. Welcome to both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChapSmurf Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Isn't Pearson a Wednesdayite, I'm sure some time back it was mentioned ? No, he supports Huddersfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Time will tell on roeder (I hope he doesn't end up manager by necessity at some stage). But at least he is appointing people who know the game and names known to us. I was half expecting someone quite obscure or someone from Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I can see it now 6 defeats in a row....Glenn Roeder will take over first team affairs for the foreseeable future If we have serious ambitions (and a budget) to challenge for the play-offs next season then six defeats in a row would put Stuart in serious trouble regardless of having a DoF or not. Ignoring the fact that Roeder doesn't appear to want the pressure of first-team management after his health problems anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
