.... I can't imagine what might happen, even if its debts have effectively been written off.

Could it ever break even? In theory, in the right hands, it might, but making a worthwhile profit seems highly unlikely.

Lots of city fans were complaining about the state of the stadium last week, apparently it had not even been cleaned since the previous game.

Mike White said last night that the SMC is included in the sale.

I'd saw a post from a city fan in E3, said apparently the seats where finally getting cleaned before the game, hopefully a sign of what's to come.

Never know what new owners are going to be like, from what I've read he doesn't seem anywhere near as abrupt and spiky as the Allams so hopefully Adam Pearson can build a good working relationship, and the behind the scenes court battles and ridiculous extra charges are a thing of the past.

Will be intriguing

So the Allams are now no longer the owners of City or the SMC

Hopefully both Hull City and Hull FC can now move forward and have a better working relationship and understanding with each other along with the City Council in relation to the Stadium.

I think the takeover could be a positive thing for the City as a whole with Ilicali being involved in the entertainment/music industry as we will hopefully see the Stadium become used a more as a concert venue which would generate income and reduce the current usage costs to both clubs.

The jury is out until we hear more from Ilıcalı or Pearson. Hopefully the relationship will be a good one.

First job is to smarten up the stadium, it's looking a real mess lately. leaking roof, bird droppings everywhere etc.

Positive talk from Acun in this afternoon’s Press Conference about wanting to work with Hull FC.

Early days, but hopefully the start of a closer working relationship between the two clubs and SMC.

What was said?

Well that's the most positive statement relating to us we've had from SMC owners in a decade or so. (Very low bar admittedly). I saw he was reducing concession prices for City, hopefully he would like maximum stadium utilisation on all fronts. Maybe joint City/FC passes or similar?

Not sure if he’d want to take it on but surely Adam would be ideally placed and has the background to take on the running of the SMC on behalf of both parties. Depends whether Acun would allow someone from outside his organisation to hold such a position

I imagine their new CEO Jim Rodwell and Adam Pearson will know each other to some extent as Rodwell has held similar CEO roles at Notts County, Shorpe, Sunderland and Peterborough.

I think it's safe to say that the signs are looking far more positive under the new regime than the previous owners. Let's hope Adam can get around the table and form a relationship which will be far more beneficial to us and the overall feeling around the place. Be good to get the council onboard too and hopefully breed some positivity as that will benefit everyone.
