    It's the same old ****e from Ehab. He needs some proper questions asking from an actual journalist, not an in-house job.

    His comments on our style we have adopted are absurd.

    His comments on "what more could we have done" are insulting.

    He's right that the PL is much more of an attraction than us as a club but what makes people think they will sell if we go up again? Nothing to stop them milking the club like they have done this season.

    Actions speak louder than some cheap words in an interview. Until he does the obvious in restoring concessions, using our correct name etc... then he's getting no praise from me. He does something like this most seasons and you get the usual people who buy it thinking there'll be change, I'll believe it when I see it.

    The FA (nor PL) never even said they failed it.

    They didnt the funding agreement did. The PL saw that any purchase or sale could be blocked by the funder and that they had a major influence on the running of the club. This was reported down here as part of the background to the Reading sale.

    If they had received £6 million it should have been mentioned in the accounts. It wasn't, which suggests any deposit was nowhere near the rumoured £6 million.

    Maybe so. The point is, the PL never actually announced they'd failed it, that news came directly from Assem Allam who excitedly told people at Ron Black's funeral that the deal was off because of it. It's been suggested that this 'deal' proves they were willing to sell but it really doesn't. It was just another deal they decided to reject.

    Is that the clubs accounts? Allam marine accounts? Allamhouse limited accounts?

    I do find it difficult to believe a £6m deposit was placed and a deal wasn't done.

    Widely reported down here during the Reading takeover. In depth, with more detail. BBC South Today news programme spent about ten minutes on it. The structure of the consortium was the issue. Who actually controlled the club and its money, not the people. It even named the individuals, their past dealings and the fact no convictions were made.
    The Dai's have are now asset rich and cash poor.

    There's some proper bollocks on here.

    Ehab knows exactly what he is doing and Assem is still very much a part of it all; as demonstrated by his atendance at the Silva meeting - or was it Photoshopped?

    I am certain they will sell when a deal is offered on their terms, but that is unlikely as their expectations are unrealistic.

    The Allams demonstrated their inability to conduct effective due diligence when they bought the club; it was at that point that I saw through them and I have seen nowt to prove they have improved.

    They are liars, becoming more accomplished at lying is their only achievement.

    There's almost nothing to be done at the moment, as they hold all of the cards; making them feel uncomfortable and unwelcome throughout the city is the only option for now.

    Given that there are no buyers for the club now (that isn't me relying on Ehab's words, that's me using common sense and relating the club's debt to its Championship status) is there really any point in continuing to seek a change of owners for the next year or so? Anyone doing that would simply be wasting their time. Far better to focus on specific misdemeanours (concessions being the obvious list-topper) rather than futile attempts to drum them out.

    Ehab said the fans want us to go and we want out.
    They will only look after their investment and nothing else.

    Pointlessly refusing to use our name and refusing to give concessions is damaging their investment.

    Do you have any ideas how to target the concessions Al?
    Definitely need a good idea for that.

    Calling him out on his 'I don't know what else we could do' bollocks in his scripted interview seems a decent place to start.

    Not really my thing any more. But what I would say is that protests in the stadium are pretty futile, given that the majority protesting will have paid the membership fee. The approach needs to be a constant chipping away in the local and national media, plus a targeted and constant approach to getting the footballing powers interested (although clearly the PL will have gleefully washed their hands of the issue by now).

    Recent history tells us that it all takes time and effort, not just grand gestures and ranty postings, and I'm not sure who is willing to put in the graft.
