I do not pretend to have the answer but I do know that taking the law into your own hands will not achieve what you want it to. MoH
Anytime you have a fight in which you have a pen and your opponent has a sword let us know how you get on. City aren't beneath the rule of great men, unfortunately.
Alas, it is usually unlawful action that has the quickest results. I'm not condoning anything illegal but that's just the way it is.
I feel as if the trust have missed a trick here. They should have called all supporters to unite in protest against the regime. Asked everyone who is boycotting to attend the Sheff Utd game to support the team and protest the regime in front of the camera's. Get everyone there united in protest and embarrass the Allam's instead of offering to engage with the owners which is a complete waste of time.
No it won’t. What you need to do is adopt a long term strategy. In the 1980s many animal cruelty charities used direct action to try and get animal laboratories closed down. What happened? Not much. Then, they got smart. They began to focus their attention on the people who supplied the animal laboratories with equipment, foodstuffs etc. They bought shares, they got people on the inside and then they applied financial pressure. They attended AGMs as shareholders. Result? A significant number of suppliers stopped doing business with the laboratories. They starved them of oxygen and they brought change to the industry. Through indirect action. What can we do? Well, number one should be a blanket cancellation of memberships. Not piecemeal as it has been. This will send out a message that there is a united approach to challenging their ownership. Number two, do not attend home/ away matches. Number three, and this is where it gets interesting, collectively fund a forensic accountantcy firm to analyse the accounts of all of the Allams holdings (specifically focussing on those directly related to Hull City). We would be looking for financial irregularities obviously but it would also enable us to understand the structure of their business holdings. Concurrently we should look to understand the rules and regulations of the Premier League and the EFL. If they are guilty of omissions in failing to hold the Allams to account we should take legal action against them too. That really is a rough outline of how I would approach this wicked problem. And not one law broken! MoH
Not to mention bum ****ing the playing squad with little or no investment over at least two seasons, selling prized assets, not negotiating with players on contracts (something else they're really good at not negotiating, with no doubt words to agents of 'they can go if they want to!!)... and leaving the club in perilous danger of free fall.
Oh I know about all those things. Let them start with some baby steps, things they could sort in 1 day if they wanted to.
