And if that is true and you make a statement he has grounds to kick you out or fine you depending what the gagging order says.

I wasn't aware that Allam had confided in you.

Whatever the underlying reasons, it was not the action of a generous man. Period.

Is there actually any proof of a gagging order?

Correct. Although others have speculated that the confidentiality clause does in fact work in both directions and Allam has simply ignored it. All we really know is that there is a clause and it covers the tenants at least.

There is a lot more to come here, and I doubt any of it will be good.

What kind of proof would you like?

Someone who has seen the tenants agreements claims that there is a clause preventing discussion of details regarding the lease or rental arrangements. It seems plausible, and our previous owners certainly referred to such a clause.

Although this Event Management company have the catering franchise it is still the SMC that sold them the franchise. Hence, we boycott the drinks and catering side and see where that takes us.

Not only that but also regarding defamation of the landlords and there business or anything negative towards the SMC in general

Which adds some weight to RBA's point that the JW picture situation was very nasty and uncalled for excuse to get a massive reaction of out the FC's fanbase (Which I completely agree with and support BTW).
He can now say 'Hey i'm just trying to cover my costs. If you don't believe me look'.

In other words he has poked you with a stick for a reaction and has got one (Again completely understandable IMHO).

Yes he has got one from the fans but personally think he was hoping to get one from the club.

I honestly don't think he was looking for a reaction from the fans. I think he was looking for a reaction from Pearson/FC and/or the Council. And I'm not entirely convinced that removing the JW pictures was key as that was the one thing that might generate more widespread opposition. I think the removal of memorabilia in general was meant to be the trigger and JW was collateral damage.

Reading the reaction of the neanderthals on the not606 thread to the SMC statement is quite embarrassing, plus I'm so glad we have a swear filter on here, as i'm not sure of the age of anyone who can join that site, but the language is atrocious.

Also, someone on there mentioned it was Paul Duffen who took a 3.5million loan out against the SMC, what's that got to do with Hull FC, Hull City or The Council? The Allams bought the SMC, the loan is their problem.

And I really hope that is not what you want mate because I get the impression that you are a Rugby League supporter and if this is what you wish then we may as well pack up Super League the game has enough problems without this. If this is not what you wish keep you neb out.

Fair points although it is possible that he thought that upset fans getting on the clubs back to defend itself may have dragged out a comment which was his ultimate aim.
Whatever is true it is possible that the statement today is be just him ratcheting up the pressure for the council and club to say something.
I guess my point is that I doubt this is going to be his last dice throw and the club/council may eventually be forced into a statement if their position becomes untenable.

I suggest you read it again and this time read what I actually wrote and not what you thought I wrote.
