Hull FC owner Adam Pearson has issued a statement this morning dismissing continued media speculation that he is to lead a takeover at Leeds United.
And the Black and Whites owner says his full financial backing and focus remains at the Super League club.

Focused on Hull: Adam Pearson
“It’s a funny one because Hull FC is mine. I own the club, it’s my baby and I want to grow and develop it. Football is my business and I’ll always get rumours and connections in football as that’s my industry,” Pearson told the club website.
“Leeds is a club that I live close to and I’ve worked there before so I understand how big a club it is but at this minute in time, it’s not for me. My focus is completely on Hull FC and my other business interests.

“There’ll be no movement to Elland Road in the near future. This is my complete focus and so I’d like to squash those rumours once and for all. I’ve not made a single comment in the press about it and all my focus and financial backing is on this club.
“Certainly I won’t be leaving FC until there’s some silverware and we’re established as a top Super League club. I want to win something and try to get into that top four.”

“Dave577, sorry chap, I support City, and I think you will find it will be FC going bust well before City, especially now the Allams have stopped subsidising Hull FC est. 1999, the MK Dons of rugby league. Still waiting for a statement from Adam Pearson...”

“Hello everyone/
Kempton if you post silly remarks regarding silverware, and you do not like the facts reported back to you, there is an ol sayin in ull lad, don't dish it out if u cant tek it!
Big fish in a puddle perhaps, but you seem to be well and truly hooked!
K wright/
Are you attending school? I will go easy on you, you have posted "you hate, and there is a lot of us that don't like them as well" I will give you a tip young man, try getting who you actually support into your content, and as for your comparison with Man Utd, as though this is some kind of medal for you to use, I know support Brazil & the Peoples republic of China ping pong team, do not have any affinity with them, but boy the crowds are big, run along now!”

"Hull FC fans biggest problem is having to sit in the Neil Hudgell sponsored East Stand at the KC Stadium.
Far from it, we are very happy that Mr Hudgell sees fit to sponser our stand given the grave financial situation of his own club. How sad it would be to see rovers go bust whilst your owner is still sponsering us. Brilliant !!!!”

"Kempton/ Hull FC silverware many times/ Hull KR silverware many times/ Hull City silverware duh!!"
It is a lot easier to win silverware in a category b minority sport which has been mainly played in the M62 corridor. Which is why villages the size of Driffield have won more trophies than the "world famous" FC and Rovers.
A classic case of big fish in a puddle.”

“*********er.
Instead of worrying about what's going on at Rovers,
You need to be worrying about FC...
500,000 Loss this season
310,000. Now needed to replace the Allams hand outs to FC
400,000 for FC share on the new pitch
Over 1.2 million FC need to find
Plus all debts your club already have.
Unpaid tax Bills ?
Me thinks FC will be going Bust .....”

“Mr Raging Bull....lol
How many times do I have to tell you
I AM 100% HULL CITY.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER USER NAME,
just because you have 7,475 user names DO do not think everyone is like yoU !
IF YOU STOPPED ME IN THE STREET AND OFFERED MY £500 in return for telling you we're Rovers even play I wouldn't know...
It was craven park on Holderness Road ....no idea were the new ground is...
I DON'T SUPPORT ROVERS
BUT I HOPE ROVERS WIN AND I HOPE FC LOSE
To many dirty insults have been hurled at Assem and Ehab Allam from HULL FC fans.
For that reason I HOPE FC GO BUST....
YOU FC fans insult the Allams yet THE ALLAMS GAVE FC HUGE HAND OUTS.
Good luck Red and Whites..
ELMO....FATHI.....GEDO.....
STEVE BRUCE'S BLACK AND AMBER ARMY ..”
