He's been through some hard times, well documented. There's no doubt the wage he earns from City is vital to him. Who can say, back against the wall, you wouldn't do the same? I've met Dean a few times and I can tell you, he's very much 'salt of the earth'.
It's not the first time he's done this. I met him among a group of City fans not long after the previous time, and he was quite aggressive in arguing his position, which (seriously) was "Would you rather be in League 8 or the Premier League?".
Fair play to the club for giving him a job when his life was in a bad place. But ffs Deano, keep out of the way of the press because you are making yourself look like a real tool. We know that anyone employed by the allams has to tow the arty line but just keep your head down. Yesterdays statement was simply wrong and if you cant see that then you need to shake your head.
It is truly a sad day when such a club legend feels obliged to make such bullshit comments to appease the people who pay his wages due to the hard times he's fallen on. I have no doubt that he prob doesn't agree with what he said, it's such a shame he feels compelled to say it to keep his head above water
The curse of celebrity There must be loads of people around that because of their status they can't go and get a proper job like the rest of us. They then have to eke out a living using their celebrity in any way they can.
Its not the first time. I have always been surprised that he gets such an easy ride on this issue. http://talksport.com/football/exclusive-windass-backs-allam-over-hull-city-name-change-14011575687
Why can't someone have a view that's different to others? His opinion is that the disputes have been put to bed, To be honest any one attending the last few home games could share the same view. 1904 chants not being sung, Allam out does not rock to place out. No anti owner banners. Even some of the ardent protesters of the past have said it has fizzled out. Mind you if you don't do home games, how would you know? Is the protest because we will not be playing Manu and Liverpool next season or what? The time to hurt the club and get the message across was months ago, but you did nothing. This post is not supporting anyone by the way, its aimed at those that will look like right fickle clowns on Sunday. I know that Deano got some things wrong, but he was right about how things have changed since Marco Silva came and even though he spells it as Silver, at least he hasn't called Assem Allam "Allen" like #AllamOut. I expect the backlash, but really, not protesting when the team are looking ok and waiting until we are relegated just looks a bit piss poor. It will not get the message out that the fans are protesting about how the club is being run, it will look as if it is all about what league we will play in next season and that is my point. Protest my arse.
