I think more chance today than yesterday, the first day back always felt it was unlikely to be announced but today or tomorrow is more likely. Fingers crossed, I'm sure he will want it done before the weekend.
Well, we ARE finally going to be sold within 24 hours. The problem all along is that he never said which 24 hours. But, anyway, the 24 hours has finally arrived.
No. In fact I'm sure Assem has moaned about that in the past "we could have got it much cheaper in administration" or some such bollocks.
“Had I left it four more days,” explains the Tigers’ chairman, “I could have bought it from the official receiver for nothing. But the club would have lost 10 points (by going into administration) and could have gone down (to League One) as a result. https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spo...am-left-all-sea-interest-shown-tigers-1865036 Yep, usual Assem bollocks as I thought
By the way his quotes in that article make a complete nonsense of his Hull City being a "lousy, common name" considering everyone was talking to him about us. Nothing new there, I know.
No, we were in danger of doing so. Until the Allams stepped in. Although no-one will believe it but this is were 'the gift' myth came in. Assem said it was his gift to the city when he bought us and saved us from administration. . No point in opening up that old can of worms again. As for the question of will the sale be announced today ? Very much doubt it. There are still some finer details to check over.
can you tell us what the finer details are? Can’t be much left to sort if the share transfer has been submitted to the EFL
Finer details It seems like everyone had finally been on the same page and it was by the end of this week. Hopefully not delaying it beyond then
Just take it that everything is being double checked to benefit both parties. Nothing to worry about.
The club faced a Winding Up Order and would have been placed in Administration if it had be sealed. Effectively the clubs debt to HMRC was paid in full by Assem Allam. He could have waited until it went into administration and seen the debts written off. He saved the club from compulsory points deduction. That was the only benefit, football wise. Financially the benefit was that it put him in a prime position and that was an expensive choice, as he didn’t get the benefit of the property development he had hoped for. He only was interested only in the development opportunities and not the football club. Hence all of the words about gifts.
