Quote: Old_Faithful_IAKW "Yet sold Hull City to Duffen? Also, his choices in managers are questionable - Peter Taylor was obviously a good manager but what about Phil Parkinson, (debatedly) Phil Brown, Jan Molby, .
Maybe the BOD wouldn't sell to Allam because of his questionnable conduct and comments about Hull FC with regards to the stadium and mergers?'"
He's made mistakes,as he's readily admitted in the past,but overall the good far outweighs the bad....he needed extra investment in the club when he sold his interests to Duffen/Bartlett in 2007,that was the plan.Duffen messed up whilst the club was in the Prem,long after Pearson had gone....
Brown got City into the Premier League,making him the most successful manager in the club's history.
And as far as Allam is concerned,a lot of the comments regarding mergers were in relation to his beneficial nature in regards to Hull's sporting teams ("i couldn't buy one club without buying the other" etc) and were taken out of context.His loan to Rovers was an example of that.Anyway,he'd be under no illusion if he tried to purchase the club of it's history,significance to the community and it's identity......but i doubt the previous regime wouldn't have held back in selling him the club on the back of some quotes delivered off the cuff during an interview....
Some of the paranoia exhibited on this board in relation to Allam is alarming.
