To all those who care about the Allams legacy being negative and worrying it won't be. Why not do something about it instead of worrying?
Join the boycott let's get the attendances below 10,000. Or if you want to give him more of your money continue protesting every single time we are on sky, or even when we aren't on sky. Tell every single football fan you know everything they have done. I work near Manchester not one person in our office who likes football doesn't know the full list of the Allams failings. Mention it at other sports clubs you join. Keep posting on twitter and Facebook about all their shortcomings.
In this day and age of social media it is so much easier for us to make sure the legacy of the Allams is negative. There are things we can do during their tenure and long after they have left.
All we need is an Allam chant we can chant for the next 40 years.

the future is written not by you or me, by the internet in its many guises your legacy is there for all to seeIs he still talking about that ****ing name change!?
Their legacy will be one of all money, no sense.
Even when they donate something to the city(buying favour again) they end up making everyone involved hate them and wish they never bothered.
Too many people will remember.
Even their children will feel the shame of their actions for years to come.

Was in E Yorks for a week and just got back to Lyon.. not many City shirts around anymore - now that might be down to relegation from the PL, fickleness or it might also be connected to the plain fact that the Allams and the club have FAILED to reach out and secure a new generation of supporters through acceptable pricing and working with schools and the community. A huge chance missed.

He's got a ****ing job on there being a PR man for that pair of ****ing lunatics.
John Cooper is the most glaring example for me. Being made to reapply for a job that he'd done to an exceptional level for a number of years. There were other backroom staff who were moved on in less than satisfying way. The manner in which Barmby was removed from the club left a sour taste with many, me included. There are a lot of good people with years of service at City who despise the Allams.
Nonsense. If we'd won the FA Cup after a number of thrilling games against top-class opposition, or if we'd gone deep into Europe playing against some of the big teams in Italy, Germany or Spain, then that might - and even then I doubt it - have been the big story from this era. But even with the success we've had, the Allams have made more headlines for their misdeeds. Also, the alienated have been alienated because of the Allams. Quite how that is the irrelevance you portray it as escapes me. The guys I know who had been going home and away for 25 years or so until the Allams started their sh*thousery aren't going to suddenly start thinking at some point in the future: "You know, the Allams caused me to stop going to City after it had been a huge part of my life for years, but we beat Trencin 2-1 that time so I'm going to forget all the nonsense and suddenly start singing their praises now."
If you seriously believe that the rancour, protests and bitterness of the past six or seven years will be a mere footnote in 20 years' time then you're deluded. We were chanting "Fish out, Dolan out" for a good five minutes or so at Brentford! The Allams' crimes against Hull City's fans, their sh****ng all over our heritage, will not be forgotten easily by anyone who has been connected with the club through this time. The vast majority of active fans have seen through them now. They, we, aren't going to relegate something like the name change issue to 'minor event' status over time.
Barmby went against the publicly saying pearson was the most important person at the club. Bad idea for any employee anywhere. Don't know about cooper.
Whoa whoa whoa gone off half cocked there.
I was meaning the papers not the fans.
The hdm, if it still exists in Twenty years, wil write about the successes first.
A few hundred singing about fish and Dolan, a lot not even born, is hardly front page Is it. Of course it won't be forgotten but we're small fry. It's important to us.
I think the Allams have just exacerbated the disenchantment with modern football.
The "great" 60's team is mentioned as a goal scoring machine not an under performing team, which they were. They mention some terrific gate from the 50's not the loss of twenty thousand the next season.
Is that the John Cooper who declared the KC to be "ny house" and waged a campaign to make home fans sit down, helping kill the atmosphere, whilst away fans standing were ignored?
Barmby was officially sacked for questioning the club's transfer dealings. Something Bruce (much more), Phelan, Silva and not (to a lesser extent) Adkins have since done with zero repercussions. The real reason that Barmby was sacked was neither of the reasons mentioned, but regardless he didn't deserve to be treated in that way. He'd gone to great lengths to defend their to-the-bone cuts within the club around that time too. To trump up ridiculous charges like that was shabby. But that's no the issue here.
Apologies - I thought you meant the fans. First, I doubt the media will look anything like it does now in 20 years' time. If it does, on a national scale the Allams' success and misdeeds will be an irrelevance. On a local scale, I don't think the misdeeds will be relegated to anything. Were Hinchliffe and Buchanan part of a consortium that helped take us to an against-all-odds survival, or were they the key factors behind the club's close brush with extinction? They are, of course, both, but the former in no way stops the latter from being front of mind with the vast majority of City fans when their names are mentioned. Also, I tend to think that the players and managers tend to pick up more of the praise for the on-pitch success. The protests and opposition to the Allams have seeped into everything Hull City-related ever since the name change reared its ugly head. That won't go away in time. The level of hatred so many fans feel towards the Allams will die a bit in time but won't go away, and I'm certain it won't turn into feelings of grudging affection. And I really don't think that either the HDM or Radio Humberside will control that narrative. I don't think they've controlled the narrative regarding Hull City for some time now, going back to when Dave Gibbins used to try to stop anyone criticising the club on Humberside and essentially being removed because he'd misread the City fans so spectacularly.
It's John Cooper who was responsible for the club not moving to the Boulevard. It's John Cooper who served up the best pitch in the country in the 1990s even though he was working with a pittance. It's John Cooper who managed the mid-season move from Boothferry Park to the KC with a professionalism that is still spoken of with awe by other members of staff working at the club at the time. It's John Cooper who would work for nothing under various regimes keeping Boothferry Park going - even when we were locked out - and making sure that matches could be played, thus resulting in us avoiding fines and possible point deductions. It's John Cooper who'd bring in numerous sponsors for the club in the 1990s, taking nothing for it himself, to help keep the club going, even though he was just a groundsman at the time. It's John Cooper who had numerous chances to move away from City i his career but stuck with the club he supported and loved. It's John Cooper who helped bring that feelgood actor to the KC in its early years when it was hosting numerous age-group internationals and high-profile concerts. But yeah, he had to adhere to a few rules that he didn't write, rules that are consistent with numerous other grounds in the country, so let's forget all that other stuff, eh?
Fans stand up all around the country. Cooper made it his mission to have the KC the only stadium where everyone sat down. Well, not everyone, just the home fans as the away fans were left to do as they pleased.
Nit surprising the atmosphere was often flat with the home fans outsung by the away ones.
Yeah, because the home fans out-sing the away fans at loads of other grounds, don't they?
Maybe once he’s mastered the art of colouring within the lines, then he can progress to letter writing. We don’t want to rush him now do we?
To be fair to Ehab, I can't imagine any other football club chairman doing something so magnificent (or rugby club chairman, or cricket, speedway, etc...). I don't think it should be a stick to beat Ehab with. It's an astonishingly good act from Barnsley and deserves nothing but praise.
