How are all these people ringing up sportstalk so gullible? The councillor told them that the guy had no plans and just wanted the stadium to borrow against and yet they still think he had the city of Hull's interests at heart!!

i bet hcc get more money each year from charging for market stalls /fairgrond stalls and rides plus matchday parking. then allam was offering

Not Tarmac Tommy?

Tommy Smith? You know him?

His knees are bad.

Allam Marine won the ERYC Chairmans special recognition award this year. Obviously a precursor and mutual buttering up related to his now iminent move to Welton.

Perhaps if we think it is a good idea we should be thanking the Council for seeing through the kings new clothes just wait till the Mail get going tomorrow they will only see one thing, blood on the walls of the Guildahall. It was a victory for common sense simple as!!!!!!

So he offered £300k for the stadium and there are still some fools on sportstalk earlier saying the council were wrong to turn him down. Unbelievable! Allam has been truly unmasked and everyone who has heard the full story must surely now realise what he was trying to do.

Just hope the Mail puts the full story in the paper tomorrow and not just criticise the Council as they have in the past.

Just read his statement......

FFS Who the hell does he think he is......WHY NOT GO AND BLOW IT UP UR OWN AR$E.

What's it like to be Jesus? No, please tell us Assam.

He wanted West Park/KC Stadium/Walton Street all for next to nothing It's so he can get loans from the assets The Council Legal People knew what he was after .Let him sell Hull city if he want money .Why should the Council sell off the City Silverware just to please a man ego

Just got back in. Caught the back end of Burnsy's comments on his conversation with Ehab Allam (apparently, his dad was too flustered at arriving late to give an interview ). Quite shocking, really, but not surprising:

Ehab said the Allams wanted to gift a £120M project and investment to the city of Hull. Of that, the Council's contribution was to be a mere £40M, and the Allams would put up the other £80M.

Of course, the Allams wouldn't expect the Council to produce £40M cash, but the signing-over of the stadium would "represent" the council's share of the outlay. I.e., They truly did expect the council to simply to give them the stadium. Beggars belief.

This would, of course, back up the comments of Mr Geraghty - one of my new favourite people - in his conclusion that the Allams "wanted the stadium for nothing". Interesting that the council extrapolated the likely course of events in a similar way to most Hull fans and sensible members of the public, in that it was a thinly disguised attempt to gain collateral for commercial use. A far cry from the £80K philanthropist's "gift" that never actually appeared on the table even in proposal form, by all accounts.

This is a terrible decision for us out of town fans.
Do the council not realise all the problems it's going to cause next season on the A63 with roadworks for access roads etc. at Melton for the new mega stadium ? Will be a nightmare getting to home games.
Shocking.

















Well done council. Knew the guy was obviously a rambling chancer the very first time I heard him waffling on on Blunderside.

I too caught this tonight and couldnt believe the cheek of the man wanting 30-40 million from the council ie the stadium for free then he would do the rest. The City are fans are in uproar because they know that without the KC, Allam wont be able to generate more funds to buy more players for Hull City. They now know that they are fooked!

Back on now.

First caller is a backward man.

This is true. Allam is left holding a big fat screaming baby he only ever wanted in order to acquire a council property in the first place.

I really think he thought the council would have no serious objections - then again - maybe the Lib Dem council made the right noises before he took the plunge?

Had to s at the City fans (mainly out of towners) bemoaning what a loss to the city of Hull this is. In the same way that Humberside reckoned there was a 60/40 split of opinion in favour of Allam in the city after people had contacted Sportstalk. They mean after [iCity fans[/i had contacted Sportstalk, and the odd text from Hull fans had been read out. What a set of plonkers.

As he can't afford to relocate to Melton, and wouldn't get planning permission anyway, has spurned the offers of Costello and other available land for his project (why? ), I think we may see City up for sale again, soon.
