The Yorkshire Post has published a fascinating interview with Adam Pearson today on the legacy of City’s Premier League journey and the desire to again aspire to that “Holy Grail”.

It sits somewhat uncharacteristically when for seemingly days on end the only news coming out of Hull City can be put in the “good” category.
