| Quote: General Zod. "I'm sure I've read somewhere that the board would be willing to listen if the right offer became available and I'm 100% certain that if the club was sold then it would only be sold under the condition that the club continued in it's own right so the merger issue doesn't concern me at all.
If Mr Allam wants to buy the club, clear all the debts, finish the stadium and give us transfer money to get top quality players then why not? - and I'm sure if he did buy the club it would probably be on the condition that Neil Hudgell, Rob Crossland and the rest of the board continue to be involved anyway (Mr Allam stated that similarly he only bought Hull City under the condition that Adam Pearson continued as director of football operations).
It's quite possible that Mr Allam has thought that no matter how much cash he throws at Hull City, they will always be struggling either get into, or stay in the premier league where as he probably sees an opportunity to make a real difference with Rovers both from a stadium development (and surrounding areas) POV and the playing side of things for far less cash.
Mr Allam gets a lot of undeserved bad press IMO when you consider he's just shelled out £51M of his own money to save the city's football club which he'll never see again and ATEOD at 71 years of age, he probably just wants to leave a legacy before he pops his clogs.
There's way too much sentiment surrounding our club and it's fans and after standing at places like Batley and watched us get tonked by 40 points and I never want to see the club in that situation again so if Mr Allam wants to help take the club onto the next level then I'd welcome it.'"
If and i say if their was any truth in it and we was told in writing that we would never merge and has you say hudge and co stay i say bring it on and we will build a statue to him but like i said before i will believe if it happens

Don't think there's anything defamatory about it. Though I should state that if any of the parties rumoured to be involved indicate that they disagree, it'd come down faster than Mrs Barista can type 'ongoing liabilities'. Brave in the face of legal action, I am not.
If we got rid of all the speculation, it'd be a very dull board - and people'd be moaning at us about censorship.
On the loan repayments - we either make 'em, and it's not an issue, or we don't and the council foots the bill (the model used in funding the KC, incidentally). If it's the latter then from a r&w pov, at least we were given a chance, from a ill-wisher b&w pov we failed to take it and went pop (as Gabrielle sang, 'dreams can come true, dooby-doo da-da dooby-doo, you know you've gotta have 'em, you know you gotta be stro-oh-ong).

| I will wait to hear from official sources, but if it is true I susspect that he will be making money from other develpments around the Craven park ground (his proposed sports village perhaps?) What it wont mean is an influx of top players as we already spend up to the cap limit ( I think) & transfer fees are part of the cap. So apart from clearing debts it just secures the future of the club & allows long term development of the site which the Allam family should rightly benefit,

Transfer fees aren't part of the cap.
Getting a long way ahead of events here, but [iif[/i he came in with money to spend and sporting ambition it [icould[/i be fantastic.
For me it doesn't quite stack up, but you never can tell.

What? The KC was built as a community facility with cash in hand from the sale of KC share wasn't it? I don't think the council borrowed to build it.

| Were I a Rovers fan I'd be terrified of Allam getting ownership of my club. I don't believe for one instant that he has any interest at all in RL, and any move for ownership of either club would have an ulterior motive.
Have people forgotten so soon what a complete looney-tune this guy sounded like whenever he he gave an interview about his plans for the KC?

I would be worried if we didn't have Neil Hudgell & Rob Crossland in charge who I believe would only act in the best interest of Hull Kingston Rovers. If this rumour has any substance then those two people would have measures in place to make sure Hull KR are not sold down the river.

Pearson owns Hull FC and works for City. I know where his loyalties lie.
I also know who I'd prefer as an owner between Allam and Pearson.

Please don't tell me you think Allam is involved at Hull FC? I had you down as one of the more rational posters on here.
