i.e. just sit on our arses and watch the club disappear before our eyes? Bearing mind the old man thinks it’s just a few ‘hooligans’ who are prepared to protest. This campaign at least provides evidence this is not the case and they are truly, and I don’t like using the word but, hated. That being the case it may focus them a little more on finding an acceptable way of getting out from under the mess they have created.
I don’t think you get the message that they won’t be influenced at all by it. It won’t help them sell quicker. What do you want it to achieve? I would love to influence the situation as a fan, but I have no way to do this as it is about money. Don’t confuse my desire to help with my frustration that I can’t. I can be pessimistic about what I can realistically do, but still be motivated to want to help. Not sure many protests have a real agenda beyond Allam out. The Allam’s want out, but they are as stuck as fans at the moment. They tried to engage but results have rather pissed on that initiative. Just a mess all round. (Example is the billboards and stickers: send the money to charity or support someone out of work. Paying for adverts may help the business selling, but it’s not spending the money wisely as the effect won’t match the intent).
The Allam’s want out, but they are as stuck as fans at the moment. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. They might want out ... but on their terms, at their price. Their greed, incompetence, lies and arrogance means there's been no sale to date. Of course they care about being widely ridiculed. Keep it up and take it to new levels. It doesn't stop other initiatives / efforts.
And a total lack of GENUINE interest. You can’t make buyers turn up. I’m not absolving them of blame across the board, but it’s not “wrong” to say it’s not all their fault we haven’t sold.
I don’t think these sticker campaigns are aimed directly at ousting the owners. They give fans a sense of purpose and achievement that can be built on during a long campaign. They work, on those terms.
Nah. That’s not factual. We have had people sniffing but the offers have been way off recently. Rather than some stickers and a warm glow, maybe spend your money on loved ones and those who have no income. I don’t need a feel good rant to motivate me to support my team. It’s fun. It’s amusing. But when you start paying for balloons, planes, and billboards you have lost context with what matters in the current climate.
If you chat to people who’ve actually dealt with these two clowns they feel that there is a genuine reluctance to sell.
I think if it was silly money they would have But ehabs always fancied himself as a football club owner for the kudos it brings
Maybe true they aren’t keen to sell. Buts it’s all academic without a buyer who means it! Chicken and egg. I’m not saying they are blameless, just pointing out it’s irrelevant what they think when no one is even sniffing at the door!!
You've got a pretty short memory as there was at least one serious buyer when we got promoted the last time to the PL, just the Allams ****ed it up every which way.
It isn't in the public domain every time there's someone interested in buying the club. There have been several over recent years, but we all know the price is far too high so it won't sell.
I can count on one finger the number of realistic bids, with funds and adequate owners, and it’s not one. There has been interest, mainly a long time ago, but nothing I’d want as an owner, and hardly anything that came close to being even credible. Zero for the last few years that has been worth even listening to! And there won’t be buyers any time soon as the financial picture is shot to ****.
I think the highlight of his tenure (the boy that is) was sitting alongside the likes of Daniel Levy at Premiership owners meetings..... now however...!!
That last sentence, offering reasons why people shouldn't buy the club, is very Ehab indeed. Reality is if the financial picture is ****, along with anything else that makes it a less attractive purchase, it just means the price needs to come down accordingly. In the same way that selling an old Micra is no harder than selling a Rolls-Royce, providing you're prepared to accept a bit less for it than the Rolls.
Surely that only works if you are a successful football club owner. Whereas Ehab simply looks like the Village Idiot.
it’s very true an asset at an undervalue is attractive as a long term investment. Hull have a potential to be big, big crowds, and make money. The problem here is that it is a cheap(er) assets now that needs a LOT of money to get it back to the potential. In a time when revenue streams are gone, uncertainty is everywhere, and the largest clubs are struggling you have to be mad to think the time is right to sweep up a “bargain”. Being honest isn’t being a supporter of the management. I want the club to be bought by a white knight, and investment to flood in. I don’t want owners who have no interest in spending any more. I want world peace and an end to the combustion engine. Some of my aspirations are just hope, and some may happen, but not as quickly as I want. Simple economics means the club won’t get sold any time soon, and if it did it wouldn’t be sold to anyone who is going to pump endless sums in and make us great again. I hope I am wrong. I fear I am right.
