Any-thing could happen with that scummy Minns in charge...he is mad!

Besides the council are skint and have to raise the money to lend the dobbins some how

You keep living in your ideal little "Hull FC oriented world". There's no point in arguing, time will be the telling factor.

Will he have time? I thought he was going to save the world and all that

I don't live in any kind of ideal world, and anything is possible given enough time. I do, however, appreciate that selling the KC would be a lot more difficult than you seem to think, and that the Allams are unlikely to have been told what you think they have.

Plus you'll forgive me if I'm slightly suspicious about the motives of a Rovers fan who spends more time on the FC board than any other.

Not sure if it's been discussed but what is the likely hood of the Allams trying to buy FC? If they are looking to buy the KC then buying FC would seem the next logical step to tie up the loose ends.

He may have millions. I doubt he has even a million he can lay his hands on quickly. Would anyone with £180 million spend around half of it buying a football club and ground, plus he has promised millions or team strengthening.

While I don't doubt that FC and City have paid a lot of money into the stadiums coffers, the truth is the ratepayer of the city has not got anything like a decent return on the money, if the recent reports of only 47k for the whole of the time its been open is true, then it might make financial sense to sell it and get the investment back. The only way to keep it long term is to get some proper revenue from it, perhaps the council should employ a team direct to manage it and then the rent you pay, plus City and all the other income from concerts etc could be put back into the councils coffers.

If the 47k is a true return, its less than a 3 bedder on Kingswood would have brought in over the same period.

for me, the only reason allams want to buy the stadium is when they've had enough, it will put more value to hull city when selling them again, nobody buys a stadium just because they want too

You're bang on the money there. Most of these billionairre foreigners who are buying up all our football clubs are only generally interested in clubs that own their own stadium. Would make Hull City a much more attractive option to many parties. Don't worry though Hull fans, you could share Craven Park with us, it'll be like the San Siro with AC and Inter

Cleared the debts rumoured to be 21 million
Bought them for a rumoured 40 million
I sincerely doubt they would want to spend another 40-50 million on the stadium and then the money for the expansion they are rich but not that rich.
And as it has already been stated I'm fairly sure that there are covenants restricting the sale of the stadium.

I'd be happy to let the stadium be sold. The council could do with the cash to sort some of the problems out.
