Pearson confident Hull City can handle relegation

If Hull City do go down, chairman Adam Pearson is confident they can handle it financially.

The Times says despite the threat of relegation, the club — who recently announced debts of £4.5 million, an operating profit of £2.5 million and an annual turnover of £52 million — appear to be well equipped to cope with the financial implications.

“We have the lowest debt in the Premier League,” Pearson said.
