Fruitcakes, the pair of them.

But, but, but... he spent the whole dreary 45 minutes going on about how he is a man of his word! Didn't you hear him say he couldn't live without principles? How he said he'd act within 24 hours if the FA said no, and how he honoured that promise after 22 hours?

He doesn't lie or make false promises - he said as much about eighty times!

I don't think we've appreciated what he's been up against. Trying to reason with those Labour councillors who havenever travelled further than Doncaster can't have been easy, you know. And, like he said, what difference does it make who owns the freehold? It's what you plan to do with it what counts. Assem was going to build a hotel you know. He said so today. Hang on, what happened to the 'sporting village'....?

No, I must've got that bit wrong, him being a principled man of his word, and all.

The guy is a clown.

I think I must have misheard on the way home.

Did he say if he'd known about the City name, he wouldn't have bought the club?

Ooh! Now that nasty Carl Minns is at it too! He's just tweeted:

"Since day 1 of this farrago Allam has NEVER put a bid in to buy the stadium. Complete red herring twitter.com/RadioHumbersid…"

Now I know he was a LibDem and all, but I reckon he's never been past Doncaster either. What that good Dr has had to put up with! Still, he knows he's an honourable man.

"Money doesn't come into it". OK then. His loan has yielded him 3 million quid in interest according to David Conn.

Might not need to buy it. If the appeal is rejected and no-one buys the club before the decision is made, he'll give Hull City away.

And he's a man of honour who once he's said something, he acts on it. Without fail, don't forget.

I would hope someone would pay him back the £3000 he spent on the plans for the KC Sporting Village. It is the least he deserves.

Cannot someone reign in this nutjob.

Not forgetting the Melton stadium plans which must have cost a pretty penny to draw up.

Oh dear. Burns has not a shred of dignity left. What a sycophant. To Sir, with love, indeed.

Burns has always been the same with those in charge at City. He kissed Duffen's backside for years but as soon as he was gone he slated him.

Looks like he's bought the back page of the Hull Daily Mail this morning!!! I tend to think if it were us or Rovers they'd be loving it!
