Ah you could be right, I have heard that the allams are in debt up to there eyeballs, and the reason barmby has been suspended was the fact he was told there was no funds and he would have to sell players instead !! thus leading him to having a right old ding dong, he will be put on gardening leave until sven or mclaren take the job !!!

I heard Barmby got upset when the Allams told him they were selling out to Bates. I can understand that!

What's going on?

Thanks for speaking your mind Nick Barmby.......but it could have cost you your job. You can walk tall in the knowledge the fans are right behind you. You refused to grovel, laid your cards on the table but your media openness ruffled a few feathers. You're not stupid, you probably saw this coming. It's a pity the owners didn't share your ambition for the club.

Can someone knock out a poll?

Was Nick Barmby right to speak to the media about financial/transfer matters Yes/No (or something like that).

Who should leave the club , Barmby or the Allam's

If the Allams walk we have no owner and it will be a fiasco to find a passionate one with the club at heart, but personally you can't let a passionate manager like Nick take a walk for doing nothing wrong

Can i just ask how all of you Allam bashers expect him to get there 51 million back?

How are they going to get that back by selling the players?

The only way they can get their money back is by getting to the Premier League, why on earth would you all think there in it for that?

Its very hard not to be an Allam basher tonight!
 
I've just explained to my nine year old son that Barmby has been suspended.

He asked why.

I told him.

He just looked puzzled and said.

" That Allem bloke needs to grow up "

From a nine year old.

Enough said.
 
Well I was warned about this a good few weeks ago from Danny Pratt. I don't think I am betraying any confidences now. He was made redundant at Xmas and when I bumped into him in March he was still owed redundancy money and salary by City. He told me that both Nick and Adam would be leaving as they were really unhappy. Adam was going to leave when his contract was up in November.
 
Anyone hear the clown on sportstalk who was saying Barmby has effectively talked himself out of a job, and he's right to be sacked/suspended? Not sure I concur with people on the radio saying that they won't go to city again, we stick to the club through thick and thin.

I agree its frustrating, clearly.

However is throwing money at it the answer? We are losing 7M a year, i for one will support the decision not to spend.

The biggest loss is Adam Pearson if thats true.
 
Total unanimous disgust amongst the fans it seems.

Had loads of texts from my mates who are gob smacked.

That would be a dream lol, so Hull city for league 1 maybe if they are as skint as has been suggested !! with the new rules coming in as well looks like the allams will jump ship !!!
 
There are some right plonkers on RH tonight (texting)....why do they read these stupid messages out.

Do we all (majority) owe the council an apology and a thank-you?

Not if the reason the Allams are upping sticks is because they know they can't help the club progress because the Council won't sell the stadium. Thanks to us not owning any assets any work done on the stadium would be an immediate expense instead of one spread out over 50 years.

Not if its an illegal suspension

There's no suggestion at this point in time that it's illegal. To take it elsewhere, I'm pretty sure all my contracts have included clauses about not revealing information or making comments which are to the detriment of the business's business, and I'm aware of several people who've lost jobs for making public comments about workmates or bosses. The manager of a football club continually questionning the owners support, talking about transfer targets (not denying Tomlin?), or some other thing we haven't picked up on could all fall under that.

EDIT: Just to be clear, as I said earlier, if the reason is because he was talking about wanting to sign players then it's ridiculous and I don't agree with it. Until we find out reasons though I'm not going to jump on the Allam's backs over it. If everyone was siding with them against Barmby I'd be taking the opposite view of things on here.

Purely as a business decision, it would have made far more sense to spend a couple of million in January and try and get promoted, even if they wanted out, they'll be lucky to sell the club for half what they paid for it without promotion.

I ve mentioned this before, but are Hull City actually debt free? Have we just moved the debt from Investec (et al) to Allam Marine
