    It is sabotage, it's revenge, it's dumb, it's childish. All of these things.

    But do remember this, Doctor Allam and thick **** sprog....

    We are still Hull City AFC and we always will be <cheers>

    Have they had more out of the club than we realise or is it all in black and white somewhere ?

    Why do you (3 at least) believe it's deliberate, sabotage?
    Serious question..
    What are the facts / evidence for coming to that conclusion? Not just opinions based on where we've ended up, but real basis for concluding its deliberate, sabotage.
    I see it simply as gross incompetence, from the Allams (particularly but not only Ehab), from Darnborough and from both of McCann and Byrne.

    Mate, if I could prove my stance on this, of course I would, but that's impossible.

    But listen. I've been predicting this for ****ing years and I was right.

    Trust me I would have loved to have been wrong.

    I can't see how they can do this without losing significant wealth, but on the basis of events it certainly begs the question.

    Bollocks, Chazz. They got the revenge they wanted and you know full well I've predicted this outcome for years.

    I take no pride out of it at all, but that's where we stand.

    See prior post. Something like this can only have happened a handful of times if at all.

    Listen, Mack. Would you be overly worried if you had something like £250m in the bank?

    They have nothing to worry about.

    Still wouldn't willingly chuck a good chunk of it away, but I ain't them.

    Relegation has wiped £10m off the value of the club and made it almost impossible for them to not trade at a loss, if you seriously think the Allams did that deliberately, you’re bonkers.

    They ****ed up, plain and simple.

    I'd be more than happy to lose 10m if I still had £240m in the bank. Why the hell not?

    The wheels have been wobbling for months, you would think they would have changed something if the inevitable consequences bothered them.

    They don't have 250m in the bank. I assume you're referring to the Sunday Times rich list in 2017 which put the estimated value at 250m, but by the following year they'd lost 1/5th of that.

    Their wealth seems to be diminishing. Why deliberately accelerate that?

    Besides you don't become that wealthy in the first place by not being bothered about loosing 8 figure sums.

    Of course they could be spiteful enough to pay the price, but I think rank incompetence and stubborn egotism is a more likely explanation.
    In truth no-one really knows what's going on in their heads.

    They've have made enough money to last their family a thousand and one life times.
    So no skin of their snozzers letting the club die.
    And a big **** YOU to those who didn't bow down to them.

    He obviously hasn’t got that in the bank, in fact, at least £100m of that net worth figure (which is nothing more than an educated guess) was the estimated value of Hull City, which is now worth a fraction of that.

    ... gross incompetence, arrogance, stubborness seldom does.
    They basically ****ed up big style in January, when they thought we had enough points on the board and enough ability in the squad and on the touchline to easily survive. They were wrong ... once again.
    Simple as that. Gross incompetence.

    Utter bollocks
    It’s bloody easy to predict we’d eventually get relegated isn’t it. Bit like predicting we’ll all die one day.
    You never met any rich people? Tightest ****s going and an accountant to boot
    Of course they wouldn’t want to lose ten million.
