In my opinion its all rigged to make a case to get us out when they think they have an opportunity, that's not scare mongering its just a conclusion I draw when you group all these things together, not putting the top section on our post anymore, threats of closing stands, pricing our testimonial games out of practical reach, restrictions on using the pitch, taking our pictures down, charging for rooms that used to be free as part of the user agreement etc etc. and still they lose money on our games??????

They have allies too, take the beer increases Radio Humberside last night once again placating the Allams by saying the only reason the beer has gone up is that they don't sell enough at rugby so they have to put the prices up. It's always been a known fact that they sell more at rugby than at football we just won't hand over our cut!!!!

To be fair he already offers the second cheapest match day ticket in the PL.

He has always said that £10 tickets are only possible if there's a stadium expansion.

I don't like the guy but he's only repeating what he said when he took over.

I wouldn't watch a premiership match if they gave me £10.

TBH captain Ehab and Moby D1ck are simply digging their own tomb. Let them get on with it.

When the F.A. reject their Name Change Appeal - decision very imminent - he will no longer be involved, as he nere goes back on his word!!!! Good riddance!

All very worrying and I think Wilf has it spot on , this is all leading to us being pushed out at some point in the future when he feels he can force the issue. I do feel he will change his mind when the FA tell him no to changing the name, he will wriggle off the noose he himself placed around his neck.

My one hope is the people of Hull will all finally see him for what he is, from that moment on he is doomed as Hull folk do not like anyone who "lord it over others". Radio Humberside do not have have not done for years served the people of Humberside with the service they should, the political overtones of a lot of there output is at times appalling. They take great care in case they lose there cosy position with the current City owners, they seem incapable of presenting a balanced case without constant toadying up to them.

We just carry on and keep the gunpowder dry and trust in God, Remember David Lloyd ............

Tigers forum.....

not the brightest folk the majority of football fans! just look at the chelsea wums

Wilf has it spot on, however, what the honorary Dr. forgets is that the club has powerful allegiances with those who make the decisions about the Stadium. Also, if he was serious about buying the stadium, he would have to pay the going rate - no cheap deals - government finance doesn't allow for assets to be disposed of for less than full market value.

It is interesting that he splits the business of the SMC into three lumps - to show only Hull City make the SMC money - the part he owns!

What is needed from fans is to pack three sides of the ground to make closing stands difficult. We can't control the away fans - last week was a disappointing show from Wire.

What I can't understand is what has changed in the last few years to make the accounts looks so bad (apart from the obvious!).

For example, city's average attendance in the first 6 years was about 16k, ours was under 12k, but the SMC managed a profit.
Now Hull FC is losing them £1.1m with attendances down about 2k.

Quite simple - the agenda - and its no longer hidden.

The biggest misconception Assam Allam has said is [I do it for the community], what a load of rubbish. Assam Allam does what he does for ASSAM ALLAM. People even Hull City supporters can now read him like a book, hopefully when his appeal is turned down he will stick to his word and go, but I would not hold my breath. If he does decide to go he will try to make as much trouble for the council and Hull FC as he can.

He is not going to go until he gets his loans back either from the sale of the club or the next chunk of money from the Premier League.
Hull City are not an attractive purchase proposition given the Allam loan debt so my guess is he will start to recover the loan sum in a series of large repayments.

Said it ages ago, he's made the club unsaleable.

Just hope for City's sake that if they get relegated he doesn't pocket the parachute payments to pay off his debt and let the club rot.

It's easy, you put yourself as the owner and members of your family on the payroll at unsustainable levels including perks/pension payments etc, you take out borrowings from other parts of your business at a suitable rate of interest that could act as funds to pay back the acquisition of the contract but are described as being for something else. You acquire materials at what seems full market price yet retain a discount elsewhere within your business as a backhander. You price out community events so that the uptake is so poor that revenue drops dramatically. You take on loss leading events but refuse money spinners and so on and so forth.
With his business empire it won't be difficult and the reality is that it probably isn't hurting him a single penny in the long run.

The council are gutless, toothless and inept.
