Putting aside my dislike of allam, I don't see how city struggling financially helps our club considering how intertwined the football club and stadium management company are

Interesting to see that City have renamed their official Academy Twitter account "Hull Tigers Academy" with the username @Tigers_Academy (dropping @HullCityAcademy). Also the website www.hulltigersacademy.com

Playing fast and loose with the term 'interesting' there!

you forgot to add tax relief to the reasons for his "charity".

Not that strong an argument.

Would you spend £100 to save £20 elsewhere?

Can't think that City will go down, but table looks a bit dodgy currently. Anyone know whether the Allams have a buyer yet?

Not a chance until end of the season, then they'll be a bargain price Championship team.

Guess that's what you are hoping.

City's record in 2014 is shocking. Masked only by an FA Cup final appearance. They have the worst record this calendar year in the Premiership. Leicester are struggling big time followed closely by City.
I'd say they are one of the favourites to go down. I'm also hoping they go down, but not for the same reasons as most on here.

Yep.

Just don't get the outright hatred & desire for tigers to get relegated ?

On a pure business front there is £60 mill parachute money if relegated but FFS there is £130 mill minimum if they stay up. He will spend in January to protect his investment if nothing else.

I do resent his apparent warfare on FC & all things Hull Council related but think we should all move on. His rantings now seem less frequent or venemous & he definitely does put money into the community.

Note no more mention of the need to extend KC Stadium ? Less than 22k for Swansea at £16 a head, Leicester tomorrow is £35 !!

Just so reminiscent of David Lloyd - a property deal gone wrong, but as others have said both clubs will exist for many many years regardless of ownera.

Mixed Xmas for City, surprised they lost today. Still reckon they'll stay up mind.

They need a striker....they saw the money and flogged long,turned Austin down due to concerns on a medical,what's he doing now...oh yeah,scoring for fun and keeping QPR out of danger.....if the can't beat Teams below them,they get what they deserve

Starting to look like a dogfight certainly. More off pitch rumblings about renaming the Facebook page, pay and rumour of new American owners. Like a soap opera.

Long is not a reliable goal scorer though - he's not done anything at saints since his move. hes a hard worker but not a 10 plus goals a season player. austin though is a different thing altogether - he's always scored goals, big error from city (albeit with the benefit of hindsight) city have tried the overseas route with herdandez, it does not appear to be working, i would test blackburn's resolve on rhodes, he's another player who has scored goals everywhere he's gone, and is worth the gamble. city seem to specialise in signing strikers who don't score goals - time to get one who does score - rhodes
