Almost a year ago, Adam Pearson and Hull FC were awre of this whole pictures situation, why has he gone so long and not mentioned it, and since all this aggro stayed suspiciously silent? Fact
** Do you work for the SMC? Your new MD mentioned he paid the bill and has only been in post for a few weeks, Gentleman John tells us he goes to the KC a couple of times a week and they have recently been taken down. Were are your facts from?
When the SMC was initiated, both clubs were demanded to pay a bond to have a board member, FC refused and now it's all of a sudden 'unfair'. Would you like a board seat for free or are you willing to pay for it? Fact
Your bunch (fc fans) and you included, make out Dr Allam is a vulture and in everything for himself. He just so happened to have done something far bigger than anything he could do for any sports team, whether good or bad, and that is pumping money into Castle Hill hospital, which is a highly commendable act which benefits everyone in the city and surrounding area regardless of their sporting interests. What is your stance on that? Fact
** Cash to Daisy, University of Hull and other sporting clubs are all great gestures. Some of the agreed investments however fell through when Land was not provided as part of the deal e.g. Brantingham park
Seeing how FC fans are talking about boycotting anything which could give money to the Allams, I also assume if you were to fall ill and require treatment at castle hill, you would refuse that treatment knowing that Dr. Allam has part funded for your health care there? Thought not.
** Fair play and to be honest I can not understand the motive for the Daisy Building or the University of Hull donations yet...
You say he took a local company and moved it away, I believe Allam marine is based in Melton which is close proximity to hull and still in the east riding, therefore benefitting people from hull and the east riding offering job oppurtunities. In this difficult economic climate, specifically where engineering firms are cutting costs by moving abroad, he still stays here. Is that not good enough?
** The 50 members of staff and ship building industry in Hull may not agree with his book keeping at Ruscador may not agree with this. You need to be ruthless to generate the income this guy has in a short period of time. I do not have all the facts on this deal however, Allams are very quiet about this period of their history.
He took over £50,000,000 of debt when he bought Hull City football club, which he wrote off with his own personal wealth. A commendable act for the community and area, no? The 19 million debt you talk of is in no small part due to the fallout of the failures of the incompetent previous regime. That is not the Allams doing.
** Do you have any proof of the £50million debt being wrote off? The growing debt still looks to be on the books and looks more like a loan then being written off.
Final question, what would it take for the Allams to win your belief that they are good genuine people and are being honest in their claims of 'giving back to their home area'? Or is it impossible solely due to his interests in the city's football club which may or may not conflict with yours? Serious question.
** More respect to the council and City, better understanding of the people of Hull and honesty. It would be good if he wasn't so petty and childlike, if I don't get my way i'll take my team and move away (how is Melton coming along?) or i'll take my racket and ball to the seaside (is the Squash being played at Brid this year?) Dr Whiteley MBE, years you've given to the sporting community of Hull with Boxing, Rugby League and Football look what I can do with a hammer and nail!!
I look forward to your reply.
People with your attitude are what holds the City back.
