Wage bill and debts are heavy though, and they have barely any assets (training ground in Cott only)

a prospective buyer would wait till they went in administration, cleared the debts then put a bid in.

wouldn't be surprised to see a bid from Pearson & his consortium if they did go in to administration, they've tried and failed to get Leeds repeatedly, and it'd be a perfect opportunity to get control of City, FC, The SMC, and the council would sell him the stadium for the right money. Depends what funds his backers have of course, he can't do it alone.

Lost track of this a bit. Looking at the City Independent site they seem to think the vote will be next week, midweek, with people having to go to the KC to cast their vote in person. Not sure how this will capture the "silent majority." They also point out that the closing date for voting will be past the deadline for final submissions to the FA in advance of the hearing, and therefore inadmissible as evidence/argumentation. With this level of buffoonery I suggest the Allams apply to run the RFL.

That would be good for the likes of us if it involved FC. 60+ miles to vote. Although if it was for something as ludicrous as this it might be worthwhile.

Sounds like one of Rules ballots.

but WHY is this on our forum ?

Nothing to do with Hull FC,

Don't read it then - this is the 5th time you've posted on it.

It's still all about the stadium, Trev, the agenda's never changed, just the methodology. This is just the Allams' version of the knight leaping one square forward and two to the side to provoke the motionless rook.

sounds as though you enjoy a game of chess.

I still haven't yet worked out the subtleties of the vote....



Is it a way of improving the chances of getting 1. plus 3. greater than 2. ??

I vote "Don't Know".

If pearson took us to our most successful period ever I wouldn't care what he called the club. Storm in a teacup. Changing names had a massive negative impact on the likes of wigan RL, leeds RL and bradford northern

Hull sharks was a massive master stroke as well

The state of the club at the time had zilch to do with the name change though and I don't remember any particular negativity from the fan base. The fact it is poorly perceived now looking back is more to do with lloyd than the club name
