Quote: WormInHand "You sound increasingly more hopeful than incredulous.
Other than there will probably be no new SMC agreement - which most of us were becoming resigned to anyway as time went on - would you care to elaborate on the section I have underlined?
The existing agreement holds. Hull will pay their bills and the the SMC will fulfill their obligations to Hull under the existing contract. End of. I doubt there's very little need for the two to cross paths at all. I certainly don't think Duffen spent many minutes if any with Rule and there was no love lost there, either. How will (and why would) the new situation pan out any different?'"
Fair point. I just think there is the potential for conflict rather than cooperation on fixture scheduling....training on the pitch etc.
If Pearson thought there was room for negotiation on reducing the rental agreement, what's to say Allam doesn't have the mandate to invoke the opposite?
The potential for conflict would become more pertinent if an Allam-owned Hull City ever reached the Premiership, in view of Karen Brady's recent comments.
