What rules are the Allams breaking?

It's piss poor when a bloke is having serious health issues and posters are sneering at his situation. The blokes done more for a non league side than anyone on here. As sterling says it happens a lot in non league. Clubs go as far as they can then drop down to their natural level.

That's the exact problem, they operate on the same budget as Whitby Town. Or at least they did at the start of the season. They've brought in some players that have pretty high wages (by Ferriby standards), like Mukendi and Oliver and it's crippled them. The home crowds are the same as they were in the Northern Premier League and there's no way to boost that because City take all the fans. So the average home crowd remains at around 400. Away fans bolster it, particularly bigger clubs like York and Wrexham, but it's not enough. They make **** all on merchandising and spent a lot of money putting in extra turnstiles, toilets and refreshments to meet ground requirements. They've now got until July to improve the ground seating wise, or they'll be relegated anyway.

SF isn't putting in anything else, he's keeping the running costs down by sacking a lot of the also rans staff (which is an unfair term to be frank, as they work bloody hard), but he's paying the bare minimum to keep the club going and it's going to end badly. It was why they got Housham in, because he was the cheap option, he isn't even a great manager. They tried to get the lad at FC United but they couldn't afford the compensation or the wage demands.

They're heading back down the leagues, which in all honesty is where they belong. They've become a victim of their own success, they just played really good football and got promoted too quickly. It happened to Canvey Island a few years back, it's sad, but that's the world of non-league, if you don't have a backer like AFC Wimbledon, Maidstone or Salford, it can go tits pretty quickly.

Sounds familiar ?

I was not referring to that, I have already said that Ferriby just cannot handle being in the National League. I was referring in general, that they are supposed to offer concessions according to EPL rules and they don't. They tried to manipulate the planning permission with the academy/arena saga which was not allowed. They tried to change the name of the club, but when rejected they wouldn't take no for an answer. Need I go on.

So what rules have they broken?

I'm actually surprised that people are still putting money into the Allams pockets at the minute.
Surely this can't carry on I wouldn't pay to go through turnstiles at the minute not even if it was £2 to get in.

I respect your position and I thought like that for the total of one game. I take the view that watching and supporting my team whilst giving the Allams as much **** as I can is my chosen path. I would love to run into the bloke (in my car or otherwise).

This is the thread for discussing the sale (or lack of) of the club.

And the scenario you paint isn't a likely one, it's complete speculation. In reality we have wage commitments that mean if we are relegated the Allams would have to find money just to keep us going, there's little chance of us 'doing a Blackpool' as they're simply not able to hang onto the money.

Perhaps you would like to like to reconsider oh great wise one. Or alternatively, wake up and smell the coffee. This process started at the final whistle at Wembley. We did not get to where we are now by accident. Staying in the premier league was not that important to the Allams in comparison to retrieving their money by any means. Staying up (which is still possible) would be an unexpected bonus for them. If players wish to leave rather than work for half wages then no power on earth could stop that. Six days left of the transfer window, anyone want to take a stab at the new selling price?

I'm surprised you are surprised. People are putting money into their pockets because despite everything they want to support the team and maybe because they think a supported club has more chance of attracting a buyer than an unsupported one. I can see both sides of the argument for continuing to go or boycotting although i'm firmly on the side of go and support if you can afford it because I do think the more we support the team, the more chance we have of a) staying in the premier league and b) attracting new owners. Despite everything Ehab Allam is doing to discourage me.

Corrected for you... hope you don't mind..
 
After the complete and utter shambles of a January transfer window (yes I am predicting we will be left with a squad worse than we had on 31st December), does anyone fancy getting Donald Trump in as the next owner. At least he makes a ****ing promise and sticks to his word.

No politics


....ok a bit then
He's good at organising walls. Favours the right. Tendency to leave the centre wide open. Definitely confident in his own abilities, but would limit the available players as he refuses to bring in anyone from abroad

This'd be the Trumper's lineup then

Marshall (he loves scots, his nan was one apparently)
Meyler, Dawson, Harry, Tymon
Clucas, Hudd, Mason (he'd have to wear a skull cap but hey, he'll be ok, he's a white man), Robbo (another scot, he loves scots, his nan was one apparently)
Weir, Luer

Who needs foreigners eh?
