| Iam sure if city fans get their way and get the allams out,there will be a queue of millionaires waiting to take city over,and spend a fortune to get them back in the premier league.Be greatful for what the allams have done,you dont have to like them just enjoy their money,and the ride they have taken you on.

| Allam has also threatened to withdraw funding from the Labour party if Jeremy Corbyn is elected leader, stating that he "never backs a dead horse".
Possibly not but that wouldn't stop him buying it and then stripping it down and flogging off every single part of any value

Why would a millionaire need to spend millions or a fortune to get them back in the Premier League? Even if they did and did it properly the returns on such an investment could be more then worthwhile. People forget that City recieved £64 million pounds last year from Sky/BT alone, before anything else and in the next coming seasons when the new deal that is going to increase much more your looking at around a £100 million before any gate reciepts, shirt sales, sponsorships etc. Also City will be recieving generous parachute payments that will give them a big edge of getting back there.
You can't deny that the Allams initial investment was needed, but someone with a decent sensible long term plan could pay them back and still make money if they did it right, the PL can be a cash cow. Ok they don't own a ground that's a major issue for investors, but I'm sure if someone made a semi fair offer, and offered assurances about community and Rugby use etc I'm sure the council will be willing to listen, Allam was not willing to do either.

The major problem imo is that whether you wanted to buy hull city or hull fc,what are you actually buying ? The ground is council owned so that is the biggest asset gone,I know both clubs are well supported,but is that enough for a big investment.Allam certainly wouldn't sell cheap and pearson is consistently losing money with fc and attendences are falling because of a lack of success on the field,and fans can only take so much failure before they look for something else to spend their money on,its not the cheap days entertainment it used to be im afraid.

I'd love to be able to read that, but an advert with a countdown timer covers the screen, the timer sticks at '6' and I can't move on. The Hull Daily Mail website is such a piece of junk.
If it's about morons chucking stones at the Allam's house, then that's pretty stupid. But you can't argue they've brought it on themselves a bit with inflammatory comments about the supporters.

Actually if you are in control of the SMC and the soccer club it is a very attractive proposition.
The fact that the soccer club doesn't 'own' the ground is neither here nor there as at the present time the SMC & the soccer club go hand in hand so ultimately all the profit goes into your pocket one way or another just like Allam is doing.
He can afford to show a loss on the SMC quite easily by manipulating how things are paid for and by whom to fully ensure there is zero to go back to the council which in all honesty is/was just a leverage tool.
So with zero debt on the ground and only a long term maintenance plan to keep it to standard (which Allem seems not to be doing going by the rusty facade) a tenant that helps offset costs (despite what Allem says FC costing the SMC is bollox) then the risk factor alone is minimal given Hull City's present position both financially and probably within the league itself given they are one of the favourites to go back up.

No im not, dont be so fooking pathetic! Allams a dick, everyone knows it and some have had enough. Hes ruining it for city fans and ruining it for FC fans. He doesnt listen to anybody as quite frankly he thinks his money makes him better then everybody. Fans whove loved both City or FC are quite within their rights to take things into their hands imo.

I don't like Allam, in fact I can't stand the man.
But that doesn't mean I want to stone his house, which is criminal damage and the behaviour of a knuckle dragging thug.
Anyone that condones it falls into the same category for me.

| My neighbour is an FC fan and we get on famously. Needless to say on derby days we don't talk and i think he a proper richard head but every other day he's a nice bloke.
I have on one occasion stuffed red and white confetti through his letter box when we won but that was only retaliation on my house being decked out in black and white balloons. Childish i know.....but he started it first...lol
Seriously whatever you think about AA or indeed anybody to damage anyone's property is criminal damage and the morons should be up before the court.
