It's been an interesting read .. seeing the arguments for and against the Allams. I think we all acknowledge they've made mistakes and glaring ones at that .. I think it's also fair to say their policy of being frugal has paid dividends given the current climate. Timing has obviously had a large part in all of this but credit still has to be given for keeping the club on a sound footing. But I do recall them saying they wouldn't put another penny of their own into the club, even before covid struck us.

I just wish they developed a little empathy and understanding of what a football club is all about .. and how much it means to the fans. As has been illuded to previously there are so many opportunities, especially on the back of a successful season, to encourage fans back, to get them onside, to expand the younger generation of fans. But the opening gambit in his interview is how we punched above our weight as far as expenditure is concerned. I just get the feeling it's all about him .. look at me type stuff.

I've said before be careful of what you wish for .. and new owners can be a good thing as well as a bad thing .. sometimes it's better the devil you know. But I can't help feeling if Ehab took a back seat and put a figurehead in the seat who understood football things would run much more smoothly and fans would again warm to returning.

Afraid by hook or crook their presence is divisive .. and that won't change.

Agreed it's a much more focused and insightful exchange of differeing views on here than I've yet to hear in the real world.

I agree with many if not most of the criticisms made of the Allams, but at what point do you stop looking back and start looking forward? .

Maybe the Allams do things you don't like but perhaps also they don't do it to spite or antagonise you, it's almost like you want to be offended and outraged. I reckon they are oblivious to a very large portion of the negative sentiment that some people have towards them - they live in a comfortable affluent Allam bubble untroubled by opinions of people they'll never meet,

There are still people who use some strike in the 1980s or some national referendum 5 years ago as their reference point in their worldview- but you have to let it go, accept it happened, you didn't like it but ffs move on.

To be fair his hands are tied a bit on the 'encouraging fans back' simply because the club does not know yet how many, if any at all, will be allowed into games next season.

A potential limit on numbers is ideal leverage to get people signed up as members, it would be crazy not to take advantage of it.

As it stands today the club have no idea how many fans will be allowed into the stadium at the start of next season. There isn't a limit so it would be unfair to those members who have stuck by the club through the pandemic if they couldn't guarantee them a seat for the start of the new season. Damned if you do, damned if you don't

There's barely of them and they'd already have a guaranteed seat, even if the season started tomorrow.

The aim is for full access to stadiums from the start of the 2021/22 season and we've little chance of hitting 50% anyway, so the sooner they tap into the success of last season, the better.

I'm sure they'll announce something soon, most of the league have done so already and they don't have the issues, or potential momentum that we do.

I saw this tweet the other day, maybe something is ready to announce?
