All he'll say is if we, the fans, wish to have new owners we should stop protesting about the current owners.
I think your full post was a good one and gives a reasonable perspective of matters. I think this particular point is the important one; I think we all became entrenched (I include myself) due to the endless lies by them and the failed attempts at collaboration by supporters. But the difference is the introduction of the sales negotiations. It was a very slow build, no rush, very little publicity. That has now moved on apace, Allam has underestimated their difficulty (in the atmospjere he is responsible for creating) and he now realises he needs the cooperation of the fanbase This is an opportunity.
I think this is wildly optimistic I don't believe he has any desire or intention of engaging with the fans.
Aye, it's a difficult one, but if the right conditions can be met then all things should be possible. The challenge is for owners, supporters, Trust, etc. to find a way of achieving the next step.
What these articles suggest to me is that (1) he finally realises he's ****ed up the team and he knows he needs to do something about it (which he seems to be doing), and (2) there are no prospective buyers in the background pulling strings (like insisting on appointing Silva, etc). But I think there is no olive branch, he'll never admit he's wrong. If only he'd said something along the lines of 'the membership scheme while working well in some areas as a prototype will need re-examining for next season....' That would have been the olive branch. I wonder if the Swansea boycott has prompted this in any way, final straw and all that. The national (bad) publicity it seems to have generated must have hurt old man Allam.
The problem is the fanbase is, and never has been, as one. Ehab seems to think the fans are one entity. So even if HCST meet with Ehab and HCST agree to stop the protests at games (such as the 'Allam Out' chants and banners) there will still be some dissenting individuals who would ignore it.
It's an opportunity for the Trust (or others) to project themselves as being available and responsive to any constructive ideas the club might have to change the perceptions over change of ownership. It may be optimistic, but I can see nothing wrong, or damaging in reasserting an open and progressive approach. Edited due to train bouncing about!
If the fans really want dialogue with the Allams, all they have to do is agree to agree with everything they say. Easy.
This thread may have been more appropriately titled Ehab Speaks Bollocks (again). Particularly with reference to part 1
He's from Kirkella, except when he tells the shirt sponsors, " I too am an African ". What an utter ****ehawk of a trumped up tosser that twat is.
HCST are realistically the only group that can engage. An open letter from the Trust to Ehab asking for intercourse will see if that olive branch exists or not. And if it doesn't it might get a titter in the Allam household.
