And in the context that the current regime has I think taken the business from neutral in net assets terms to net liabilities of -£2.8m. as has been suggested on here before, much of what's owed to directors you'd think would be written off by them, so it will come down to future cash flow projections and confidence therein. Assuming you hit 7k passes target again, this will be a good barometer of fan engagement. Whoever comes in, if they are going to take the club forward (ie step on aspects requiring improvement) would need to have the appetite to invest in areas like the academy as well as getting squad spend back to full cap. Seen it mentioned that the MS3 director could well be the man for the job.
The other aspect is control. If someone else is holding the purse-strings, would they want Hudgell to still be making the calls as chairman? He's been pretty hands-on, would be hard for him to relinquish control, although obviously Mike Smith has been fulfilling the CEO role for some time.

Interesting timing of this announcement with 2 new signings still to be announced. Completion before season pass deadline?

Only kept you waiting 8 mins dear!

Has he?

Can someone tell Mike please.

I hope for your sakes it's not Allam. When he took over City he was asked about rugby and he said words along the lines of "How can I favour one rugby club over the other". Not to be trusted imo.

Complete & Utter

Nightboat to (Omari) Caro...classic

Zing!



I'm not saying it hasn't, but when was this mentioned?

Since then he's given Rovers £1m and sacked Adam Pearson.

Maybe I'm mad but I wouldn't mind the Allams coming in, as long as they get the surrounding land to do there sports complex stuff ( keep them happy ) I reckon they'd soon have a south stand up because they wouldn't want the stadium making there sports complex looking (too) shabby.

Radio Humberside reported at noon "it isn't a take over but major investment"

According to the mail its not the Allams, though time will tell.

It is the Allams, they only want Rovers to get one over Pearson. Not the best reason to but a club. They will buy Rovers then spoil every deal Pearson has until he cannot carry on then they will take Hull off his hands. Then everyone knows what will come next

was the euro jackpot won ?

Another FC fan that knows everything there is to know about HKR.

We'll see

No

We can all see already.
You make stuff up.

Stop panicking, its not the Allams.




Also , isnt your jealousy a little premature ?

All I am saying is the Allam's are the last people you want buying your club

He will close Hull down!!!!.


Seriously though, i think your imagination is running a little ahead of yourself here, The Allams may not be on good terms with Pearson but i dont think they would need to buy Rovers out just to get one over him, there would be easier ways and less costly.
So, unless you know more than anyone else including the HDM on this issue, or untill a statement is forthcoming from the club stipulating who it is for definate, we will have to assume it is not the Allams at this moment in time.

Depends who your contacts are

This is one of the funniest things I have ever read on here. You should go on tour.

Mike Smith CEO, is on Sportstalk tonight to clarify everything. specifically whether the rumoured £750,000 cash injection and ongoing underwriting to full cap is true. Well, he might not go that far, but I'm sure we'll know a lot more by 7pm.

Keep going pet lamb, you're doing well.

Number of posters so far convinced... None.

Good strike rate that.

Yours more than likely aren't from Specsavers though....

I don't believe it is the Allams. They already have one loss-making venture in Hull City and don't need another. They have pumped millions into City and now income is decreasing due to lower attendances this season, hence the cost-cutting and redundancies there. Assam Allam is far too shrewd a businessman to buy Rovers just to get one over on Adam Pearson.
