Every player that leaves the club is dead to me and should be criticised and wound up whenever the play against us to try and make them perform poorly*
If they then return to play for us they are immediately ok again

(*very occasionally for club legends that winding up should only occur during the match and afterwards some respect should be shown...Ashbee when he came back for example. Tymon? Meh ...he's gone, isn't a club legend and is fair game)
Agreed. Players currently on my pass list:

(i) Fraizer Campbell (when he leaves us again)
(ii) Curtis Davies
(iii) Jonathan Walters

I’m considering whether Harry Maguire should be added to the list too.
 
All that interview has done is confirm to me is that he is an even bigger deluded **** than I thought he was. Just my opinion like...

I think you are right, it is clear that both Marco & Leo had put a lot of emphasise on getting the fans on side. It is clear that this has gone completely over his head, as you say he thinks 90% of the fans are in his side.

As you point out all this article has done is confirm he is deluded, and is an even bigger **** than even I thought he was.

Probably don't have to worry about playing him any time soon.

Dunno if it’s been mentioned but it’s obviously no co-incidence all this comes out when the accounts announce a profit of 36 million.

Ehab might as well wear a mask!
 
I very,very much doubt he'd have paid out £145,000 per week for one player.

Ehab's full of **** and this is a prime example of how he manipulates figures.

This is the excerpt from the interview with Ehab:

"Pro rata, including national insurance, that was £7.5m committed to a loan player"

When he says pro rata he actually means pro rata on an annual basis. If the loan player had been with us a full year then it would
have cost £7.5m (£2.5m fee plus 50 odd weeks at £95k plus NI = £7.5m).

But the player in question (Markovic or Niasse) was only with us for 5 months maximum (Jan-May inclusive) and more likely only 4 and half months.
So the cost would only have been £2.5m fee plus 20 weeks wages at £95k plus some NI which equates to £4.5m ish

That's not quite the £7.5m Ehab claims in the article.

Full of ****.

He is full of ****, but If he did say pro rata then he actually isn't lying....hes just using figures and a clever way of presenting them to make him look better

Yes true.
A guy I work with has a friend that's an accountant.
He's had dealings with said individuals and informed him that our intrepid duo have done very nicely financially out of The Tigers thank you very much.
 
Anyone else feeling sorry for Assem?

He's a clever bloke. He must know what an odious little prick with zero talent for anything other than being a flash **** his son is.

I'd imagine he's hugely disappointed with him.

They've made handsome profits on the assets they've sold.

We bought young talent cheap and then sold it at a massive profit.

But we forced out the manager and his scouting team who discovered all this talent because it was thought they weren't up to it.

You couldn't make it up.

Perhaps that's our secret strategy or style?

As much as I despise Ehab, there's nothing wrong with the club making them money.

If anything, it should be admired because teams at our level struggle to made money.

Complaining about them running the club successfully as a business detracts from the real issues.

Nope, not one bit.

And if his parenting style is anything like his customer services style then that explains a lot.

Ehab is just another rich kid who has been handed everything to him , it rarely turns out well

That's correct but they make it sound d like the only money that ever goes into the club is theirs.

No problem at all for them to make money, the problem is they are going to do it once (over a short period of time) where will Hull City be in a year or two's time? With all the money in the premier league the gap between those who have and those without is ever widening. Someones footer on here say over a quarter of a billion pounds handled in the last few years and we are back where we where with no assets of any real value. That's the thing after the last 10 years we could have be seen as a lower end premier league team of top of the Championship yoyo club, we're looking mid table championship at best.

They have missed an opportunity to keep the club in the premier league but it looks like their tenure will have the club back where it was when they bought it.

From a fan's perspective, was two promotions, two relegations, European football, an FA cup final and a league cup semi final better than idling around in the lower reaches of the championship all that time? (I'm talking purely football. Ignoring the treatment of Barmby, Bruce, u18s, OAPs, disabled carers, airco clubs, badge, name etc.)
