I didn't think for one one minute you would have given those wild claims any credence.
If the lease terms were being applied in the same way as they were when AP was in charge, there’d be no issue, it’s not the lease that’s the problem.
Why would I give those wild claims any credence ?
You don't know who the source was and his connections for one and his insistence that they were true despite me doubting them from the start. Plus it was the second time today I'd been accosted by an fc fan with similar questions about the Allams, and again another one tracked me down late this afternoon with similar questions.
For the record I don't believe a word of any of it. It is the type of **** stirring their owner called for and nothing more.

HDM reporting interest now, safe to assume it’s the interest that HT2 mentioned earlier. Hopefully that’s chugging along nicely in the background.
Doesn't sound like it is reporting interest from potential buyers. It quotes speculation and rumour about there being some.
"Grant McCann refused to be drawn on growing speculation surrounding the potential ownership at Hull City changing hands.
Speculation has grown in recent days across social media with former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan refusing to rule out being involved in the club in the future, while convicted fraudster Jordan Belfort, known as the Wolf of Wall Street, has been trying to self-promote himself with a series of City-related posts.
Hull Live, however, understands interest remains in buying the League One winners but McCann says the any possible move to see the Allam Family sell the Tigers is not a subject he can engage with."
Chugging?? I hope it’s flying down the track like the Mallard.
Somewhat ironic, that players from the era that probably contributed more to the demise of football than any other, are now turning, but as long as the outcome's right...
Coalition of ex-pros and pundits back independent regulation
Posted on 17th May 2021
A coalition of ex-players, pundits and media figures are the latest to call for substantial reform and the creation of an independent regulator.
Led principally by former Manchester United defender and England international Gary Neville, the group are calling on supporters to sign their petition calling for the introduction of independent regulation.
At the time of writing, the petition had reached 85,000 signatures and looks set to trigger a Parliamentary debate when it passes 100,000 signatories.
Neville said: “There is one big opportunity now in this next few months to influence the outcome of English football and create a fairer game for all.
“I urge you: if you hated me as a player, if you dislike me as a pundit just to listen to me this one time and sign this petition which will bring in independent regulation and transparency at the top of the game we all love.”
The petition is also being supported by former players Jamie Carragher, Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletcher, Gary Lineker, Jamie Redknapp and Micah Richards.
Media figures such as FSA Writer of the Year Henry Winter are also backing Fair Game’s petition. The Fair Game letter was also signed by FSA vice-chair Tom Greatrex.
“As the fan-led review gets underway, it is hugely significant to have the active support of high profile pundits and ex-players to improve football governance for the future,” Tom said.
“The spectre of a breakaway closed shop Super League has united all of those who wish to protect our game.
“Regulatory oversight that is independent of clubs has long been part of the FSA’s proposals, and it now has widespread support. It is time for those fundamental changes to protect, enhance and sustain the game to be made.”

I didn’t think a high speed train was an apt analogy considering the length of the 24 hours we are currently in.
I know. Steven T did originally. Then you said that train was overdue. Steven would have thought I was being pedantic but I know you would be aware of the difference.
Or I just don’t know much about trains. Or locomotives. I don’t even ride the train, thinking about it. Suppose owning a private jet negates the need for it.
