Problem is, they're treating it like any other business, where if an employee annoys you, you simply sack them. This is a football club, these are local heroes, they've no idea what they've done, though I suspect they're about to find out. I hope they have plenty of fire extinguishers in Melton...
I see it this way. The Allams didn't get the stadium and grounds so they try bluffing with 'Melton', it doesn't work. Being big squash fans their priority is the sports village and behold, another (rugby) club in the east, has loads of development land around it. Their interest in City dwindles and they won't invest further and Nick said from the off he would only do the job if he was backed for success and pushed the issue. It had to end in tears one way or another. I wonder if the Milliband visit was the last roll of the dice to get backing over the council's heads?
If they were really miffed about Barmby's comments to the press (which seemed fine to me), then they'd get a hell of a rude awakening if they appointed Billy Davies of all people. He must be the most rebellious manager out there.
D'ya know when they bought the club I remember thinking "Thank God, we're saved! And they're local so they won't fcuk us over or they'll find their windows put through!" Gallows humour again......still not working.

If they cant get their hand on the KC and surrounding area and no intention of spending more money on the club, then whats next for them to do. Maybe its just scaremongering from them again , like moving to Melton. Nothing new. i did advise beginning of April . that the 'for sale' sign was up .
Blimey OLM, whilst accepting the fact that the old man may be bonkers and thinks thats the way to do business, surely his son has some nous and is aware of the likely repercussions of these stupid stupid actions. They have lost all credibility locally in one fell swoop and should be looking at relocating their business at least 50 miles away. Martin Fish and Christopher Needler were hounded out by 4000 fans and a simliar fate awaits the Allams but this time there are 19000 of us, mark my words...
Its on the BBC website now http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17898229 Oh my god - its not all a bad dream then..............
I must have missed you getting promoted i thought you had an average season after hms pisstheleague hit the rocks spunking millions in the process?
http://www.thisishullandeastriding....emier-League/story-14389793-detail/story.html Despite huge cost-cutting and much more stringent management of the business, the Allams have already stressed they expect similar losses to July 2012 before the club starts to turn a corner. pledged to back current boss Nick Barmby in the present transfer market
BILLY DAVIES?! IF Barmby is to go... only man should be taking us forward. Mick McCarthy. Enough said.
I smell a protest, feel for nick, ending his career early to become manager and to be sacked for f all, bet he's hurt big time from this, u won't find a bloke who cares more, not happy
Lammie - i told u adam was not happy and was running his contract down. Another load of redundancies announced soon as well. Its carnage!!!
Dear o dear mr allam suspending/sacking a city legend for seemingly nothing is nothing short of suicidal from which they will never recover the sooner they sell up the better
OLM glad you have cottoned on to the way the Allams work, didn't I say ages ago that they were running it like a business and it wasn't the way to go about things, not gloating by the way just glad other people are beginning to see the light. I really do think that Mr Allam senior is bonkers though, he does come across that way. They just didn't have a clue what reaction they were going to get though did they with that stupid non statement as well. See what tomorrow brings but I just don't see how they can ever come out of this with any credit, the trust in them has gone out of the window now.
