My Dad doesn’t follow Football - if he did it would be York City as that’s where he was born and brought up. Following City is all my own fault and yes it is cancelled and no I won’t be attending any matches until the Allams have left the building. It will be really tough as my lad is mad on City as well, but any financial payment I can stop going to that pair of twats then I’m more than happy to do so. Cumulatively about 1,600 members have cancelled, that’s a fair bit of monthly cash they’ll be missing.
And it won't make a shred of difference to how long they stay, the only people losing out are you and your lad
Well we’re in it for the long haul. I’m more than happy to be a football tourist until they **** off. I’ll go and watch clubs more deserving of my money rather than put money into a club that treats its customers with such contempt and disdain. My wife is from Harrogate - So Harrogate Town is an option. There’s also Ferriby. So we won’t miss out on football, if anything I’m looking forward to games with no emotional attachment. Looking at the fall out of fans from the Allam era - they have done an excellent job of alienating their customers. I know many that have stopped attending that have countless years following the club home and away. Like me, they have had enough of the **** show.
I must say I had a smile on my face when I saw his tweet, as you say he certainly has a high opinion of himself, clearly, others who matter don't.
It’s taken a couple of years. But enough is enough. I’d love to see City emulate Blackpool when the Blackpool fans were boycotting matches and the entire stadium was completely empty for matches. Unfortunately you need a united front and City don’t have that whilst many are still accepting the rot and attending games. This isn’t a criticism either - you either can or you can’t give up going. I didn’t think I would give it up, but the **** show last season was so piss poor - that’s it for me. I have seen us at our lowest ebb locked out, bottom of the league, but expectations weren’t high back then so that was fine. We have squandered millions of pounds of Premier League money with absolutely nothing to show for it we have let playing assets contracts run down so they leave for absolutely nothing - both galling and in any other industry would be deemed gross misconduct. We’re left with a clueless twat leading the club followed by a clueless twat coaching the club. It’s really not a good place to be.
I think McCann will have mastered his own exit long before the Allams leave. I also think the first game at the KC without the Allams will be the biggest post PL league match attendance we will have.
Almost every club squanders their PL millions.... Do you think the Allam's are City's worst owners ever?
Bloody good question. Sadly, I do not intend to sit down and trawl back through now long distant memories. Off the top of my head, no, they are not the worse owners we have had. My nightmare is, years down the road after a handful of new owners, someone posts on here, "hey, with hindsight, and what we have now, they weren't that bad"
What? Using Burnley as an example as we have been relatively similar up until the last 4/5 years. They are still a PL club and with Premier League proceeds built a state of the art training facility? We have a stadium we don’t own. An academy run out of someone else’s facility and a couple of ****ty portacabins on a patch of grass in Cottingham. We have in that respect been dreadfully run.
Very few haven't.... But football nowadays is by design, an exercise is spending more than you should..... Its only set up to support the richest teams.... Watch Leeds struggle.... (no, please watch them!!)
Worse than Lloyd, Hincliffe and Buchanan? They're up there, without doubt.... In some ways they're far worse.... But those three were just as bad imho.....
Everyone will see things differently, but is say the above are worse, not by much. As I've said before, we are spoilt for choice when it comes to piss poor owners
So you think the Sheffield Mafia were better then ? The owners who even bought take away meals on the club credit card ? The owners who ran up a couple of million pound of debt, much of it against small local businesses in Hull and Sheffield, then did a runner when they were found out ? Or Chris Needler who let the stadium fall to pieces right under his nose ?
