With regards to the Allams, i'm not anti-Allam at all. They did a great thing saving this club and I think they have the club's best interests at heart, they just show it in different way to the way some of us would! But just because they saved the club doesn't make them immune from criticism, i'm not over the moon with some of the decisions they've made and think they could have handled things better. However people choose to perceive the Allams is their perogative and it shouldn't affect their status as a Tigers fan. Look at Pearson, he saved the club when it was in trouble in 2001 yet he attracted criticism from some people despite what he'd done for the club.
I know you're not Barmby's biggest fan but that's rubbish. He hardly took us from been on the cusp of the play offs to lower midtable. We never dropped out the top half of the table and finished 8th after been in a similar position before he took over.
until they appoint a manager like Hately, or have financial dealings like our previous regime (as has been listed above by other posters) - they are not the worst owners this club has had. Obviously if they had been in football for a longer period of time they could have handled the Barmby situation better - either by only giving him a contract until the end of the season (whether he would have accepted that) or alternatively used the excuse about "not finishing in the play-offs is the reason why we have decided to remove him from his position" - which woud have probably been less of a pr disaster than the way Barmby left the club.
Dazed and confused I think you are just on this board to wind people up. You are so set in your ideas you really can't see any one else's point of view. As many of us have tried to explain, we can be sceptical if we want to be, its up to the Allam's to prove us wrong so lets just leave it at that. All this arguing about it is getting boring now.
Another Lie, you know nothing of the sort. I know you are lying about having any inside information, so I suspect you are lyng about everything. Don't feel encouraged, you are deluded. You keep saying things to persuade yourself but your lies don't fool us.
I agree with this post, but I do think that most who have turned against the Allams have conveniently decided to ignore the facts in your second sentence.
A proud footballer!!!!!!! don't make me laugh. Just being a good (very very good) footballer doesn't make you right in all things. Look at Marlon King, Ched Evans, ask Mrs Rooney about her husband Morals, or Ryan Giggs brother. I think you've let your hero worship delude you.
If he was told them in confidence then he should keep them to himself. Not drip drip them out on here with rumour and inuendo. If you were having an affair and your best mate said to your wife "guess what I know but you don't" how happy would you be? So either put up or shut up, don't just repeat third hand rumour as if it fact. As for the "it will all come out next week" crap, give us a break, that's just kicking it into the long grass and hoping something will happen, If it doesn't they say "well next week". If the world doesn't end, or Barmbys side doesn't come out next week will it be down to bad calculators again?
If you don't want us to dig then stop giving us shovels. You post vague rumours and hearsay on here, so you should expect people to want to know more.
People wanting to know more is perfectly understandable, but that's rather different to accusing them of completely making things up. When we're told about transfer targets, were asked not to reveal them until after the deal is sorted. After a deal is sorted, we post details about it and if the deal falls through, we post details of who we tried to sign. I'm sorry if you want more info than that, but if we just posted everything, we'd stop being told. As for Nick, he's going through a legal process and it would be inappropriate for us to reveal what has happened until that's sorted. Neither of us are going to lose any sleep over who does or doesn't believe anything we post on a message board, you're free to believe anything you like.
I'm quite bored of this - but just one final point - so lets say I do come out and tell you everything I know, does that mean you suddenly believe me? Surely you are just going to say I am still lying/anti Allam blah blah blah - it's not like I have video of the Allams private meetings or their meetings with Nick/Adam. You either believe I know things or you don't, you've decided I don't which is fair enough, others on here who actually know me, know I am telling the truth - either way we are both happy.
Your answers make perfect sense to me, OLM. I'm surprised some of these other posters can't agree. Sure we all want to know what's happening/happened - in fact we're desperate to know. We may find out in due course, or we may remain forever in the dark and prey to rumours. P.S. - and so do PT's.
Transfers are a different issue entirely. We all accept that they could be jeopordised by loose lips. However you and PT come on here slagging the Allams and saying that you know the truth. I have no reason to disbelieve the Allams, nor to disbelieve Nick Barmby, but he hasn't said anything except that he is disappointed. The Allams have made a decision and published it, I don't see why this should be any more than a standard trade dispute. It has been blown up though by people screaming abuse at the Allams and calling them liars. Without giving any justification for that. My point here is that we are expected to believe that the Allams are liars by people who are outraged when the same is said about them. I confess I was just winding PT up, because he seems to feel we should believe him without evidence. We have all met smug schoolboys who pretend they know something they don't. So give us your "evidence" so I can make a judgement. I may switch to the Barmby camp if I'm told what you know. Will you bare your arse on the Town Hall steps if the Barmby side of the story doesn't come out next week?
Yes, I will suddenly believe you if you come out and tell me everything you know (if you do know as much as you say). So go on, tell me. Send me a private message and I'll happily come on this site and confess you have persuaded me. That might even help you persuade other doubters.
Get real, pal - if there is litigation taking place (or about to) - no-one is going to ruin their case by exposing the details. Or do you think they will/ought to?
Anyone who doesn't believe OLM and PT are a bit naive to be honest. Their information clearly comes from the players/coaching part of the club. So maybe at times their post are bias but the content its till fact. I doubt we will ever hear the Allams reasoning for some recent decisions. So we are left to make our own minds up. If it wasn't for people on the know we would have to blindly have to except what the Allams have said. The truth lies somewhere in the middle i'd imagine, we have the facts but lack reasoning and understanding
