Nothing changed then

Worryingly I think that is all the power they have in their deal with the SMC. The Allams have done worse before such as kicking the amateur teams from the arena and the council couldent do anything.

Sure AP will be still be looking at his options, meeting or not.

Hull daily Mail earlier reported that a new stadium ws a long way off but Adam and James Clark has been out actually looking at potential sites

Ehab Allam has followed a rich Turkish guy on Instagram who has previously stated he's after a club with Premier League potential...Cross your fingers folks!

Hull Daily Mail now believe the price is about £20m plus future revenues from previous transfers (pretty much the rest of the Jarod Bowen sale)

Acun Ilıcalı, reported net worth of about £100m.

Hard to know if this would be good news or bad for us.

The deal they knocked back from the US led consortium was reportedly £100 million plus and lost it due to SMC greed, beggars belief.

I think that was more likely due to the Allams bluff being called, as personally I don't believe they have any intention to sell until the milk cow runs completely dry as the interest payments alone on their so called investment are too lucrative, plus there are the add ons of the player transfer fee's etc.

Had they genuinely had a true intention to sell up and get out they would have done so long ago.

Any new owners of the SMC can only be “as bad”, surely not “worse”?

Could the Allams flog City but retain the SMC?

Im working on the basis that things can't get much worse, and European clubs are used to the concept of having multiple sports played from the same site/ownership. Galtasaray play Basketball, Volleyball and a whole host of other things for example. So while they won't know RL, the fact another sport is using the facilities won't be a new concept.

Technically yes, but in practice cant see why they would. They'd be left with a company that doesn't make money that is tied in to maintain an aging stadium with a backlog of repairs.

They could hike FC and City's lease terms to pay themselves back, but collectively FC and City could build a new stadium, and the Council would be slated if they allowed both the Football team and leading RL team to struggle or even face expulsion from their leagues.
