Hull FC owner Adam Pearson linked with Leeds United again but remains focused on Black and Whites
Hull Daily Mail 16/11/13
Hull FC owner Adam Pearson remains totally committed to the club , sources have told the Mail, after fresh speculation linking him to a potential takeover of Leeds United.
The BBC said it understood a consortium had entered a formal bid for United. It linked Pearson - who was commercial director at Elland Road before taking over as chairman of Hull City in 2001 - and club hero Lucas Radebe with the move.
However, sources told the Mail today that Pearson would not be stepping away from Hull in any way and he remained focused on winning a trophy with the club.
Pearson, who bought the Black and Whites in 2011, has been linked with a return to Leeds on several occasions. Last February, he was rumoured to be part of a Yorkshire-based consortium interested in taking over the club from Dubai-based owners GFH Capital.
Back then, Pearson dismissed the speculation, stating: "There'll be no movement to Elland Road in the near future ... 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."
