You greatly underestimate the Allams, the Airco Arena, gate gate, the sacking of the groundsmen, moving off screen the hooligan element, driving away the most vociferous supporters, the membership scheme, the lack of concessions, the name change, and the list goes one of all the things you would think they can't get away with but did.
With the ever increasing gap between those in the Premier League including those getting parachute payments and the rest the Allams have given up the opportunity to stay up there with the richer clubs and chosen to become a club in a lower league with no more valuable assets / players. How low are they prepared to let Hull City go before really getting out? We are not where we are because of a bit of bad luck this is a plan in action.
