Just seen this on F/B

Hull making a profit , the smc making a loss !!! Here's an idea Dr Allam .... Give up running the smc and let someone else have a try I'm sure Adam Pearson would have a go

What country would that be and who are they fighting.

yes and take dreary city with him.

The Allams have offered to hand it back to the council (who'd then presumably look for a new partner to run it). The response from all quarters was probably more telling than these accounts.

Did the council confirm that? Can't remember.

He made the offer publically. Could have been a bluff, but nobody was willing to call it.

He says a lot of things publicly. Pretty few of them with any consistency other than inconsistency. When called out on their ridiculous basis he says he was being sarcastic/just kidding. Can't expect the council to respond every time he makes some extravagant claim in the press. Given the previous on "gifts" to the city (actually retail parks requiring a donated £50m asset for mortgage purposes), and statements on moving immediately to Melton (err...), investing council resources in feasibility studies of stuff that is highly unlikely to have any foundation would be frivolous in an era of austerity.

Dude is a wee bit irascable, I wouldn't deny it.
But the opportunity was there for somebody to chuck their hat in the ring. Maybe AP would like to run the smc, but are you as confident as L&I of that?

I am no Allam fan but those loans were left over from the Bartlett era when he took out loans against the leasehold of the stadium.

Then they should take up his offer and charge the Tigers to advertise above the toilets (quite apt i know) and for all the photos of City he has had put up!
