    Money
    Get away
    You get a good job with good pay and you're okay
    Money
    It's a gas
    Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
    New car, caviar, four star daydream
    Think I'll buy me a football team
    Money
    Well, get back
    I'm all right Jack
    Keep your hands off of my stack
    Money
    It's a hit
    Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
    I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
    I think I need a Lear jet
    Money
    It's a crime
    Share it fairly
    But don't take a slice of my pie
    Money
    So they say
    Is the root of all evil today
    But if you ask for a raise
    It's no surprise that they're giving none away
    "HuHuh! I was in the right!"
    "Yes, absolutely in the right!"
    "I certainly was in the right!"
    "You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"
    "Yeah!"
    "Why does anyone do anything?"
    "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
    "I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely. It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"

    It certainly won't surprise me, I may be cynical, but even though his contributions to the health care system have been admirable, one can't help feeling this was the outcome he was wishing for.

    I don't think you need to be a cynic to think that.

    Really? I think it’s pretty poor tbh
    He’s been donating money for years and years.
    That always gets recognised in some way. as rich people through history have stuff named after them etc etc
    He’s had cancer his wife has I think
    His son in law has been seriously ill also.
    I for one thank **** people like him do donate as I’ve had family members benefit from his largesse.
    And I don’t give a **** if he gets tax breaks either.

    Yeah just imagine, he could have done **** all with all his money, squirrelled it away in an off shore account like many others do. But the selfish **** went and built a cancer ward and a unit at the eye hospital instead. Some people.

    Papa allam upset us by trying to change our name. As crimes go it upset us yes but he also brought us brucie and a team to be proud of. His worst crime for me was handing the club to enob.

    We all have plus and minus columns. There are buildings at HRI and CHH with the Allam name on them, there's also new buildings being built, at both sites, that will have their name on them. There's also the university buildings. A complex family, is one way of looking at it.

    Yeah. If papa was still running the club maybe we could have found some common ground. I dont see that with the chosen one. He seems to find discord with his very presence. Ii dont think most fans even care if they are making a fortune, just a little humility and respect would do the job.

    Universities, the NHS, and hookers will take money from anyone. And smile sweetly while being brutally buttfucked.

    The Allam name is as divisive in those institutions as at City. With the common ground being SW3's summary.
