Are you saying that "businessmen" are incapable of any action that is purely altruistic?
I've never understood this argument at all. People assume that businessmen cannot, by some universal law, ever do anything that isn't motivated by profit.
Yeah he was a much better RL larker then that Johnny Whiteley fella
Didn't even realise I'd put jack whitehall!
I am still shaking my head in amazement that there is all this fuss over hanging pictures of Sporting greats in a Sports stadium. I am involved in an athletic club and we have a picture of Paula Radcliffe which was given to KUHAC and is now displayed at Costello, another sports stadium owned by the Council. Is anyone going to charge us for that. I just can't get my head around the whole stupid situation, cmon how bare would the rooms look without some sporting memoribilia and why the hell should anyone be charged for it.
It's not about pictures, that's just the excuse. This row has been brewing for a long time.
Businessmen do not need to be driven by profit all the time.
The Allam's stated motivation is to put our club, and the SMC on a SOLID, self running footing. Like good businessmen would do.
It's not just about sticking some photos on a wall, its about claiming, and using a room as a private function area but without paying for it.
Strov, not gonna quote your ranty post but, I almost clapped when I read that. Spot on Sir, spot on.

Aw shucks! I'm blushing here!!
And hey, less of the "rant", it was all carefully considered and measured!!

The pictures thing is a very convenient way to get this out in the open I think, the bigger problem.
It does sound like City and the SMC have had their pants pulled down a bit by the rugby team and the council. And it does sound like things are not well balanced at all.
I sometimes think when walking to the KC that already parts of it are looking tired. It's only just 10 years old! Corners have definitely been cut, and that's not on. The speaker system in the East stand...it might as well not be there. Someone's not met their obligations. This seems to expose that, and it needs sorting.
Also, I enjoyed Strov's post too, you can be really quite articulate when you put your mind to it!

LOOKS AN IMBECILE ?
He has been one for years. 
I posted the other day that Adam Pearsons silence was deafening and now we know why. But the SMC fiasco goes back to Duffermans time.IMO, if the LibDems win the next local elections then i think they will deal with the Allams. This could be the long game that Papa Allam is playing.
As for FC Dullers, they can always downsize and move in / ground share with HKR.
Brilliant post stravlos tiger
Copy and paste it onto the HDM site
Hey, Scarborough - you could have gone back and edited that, using the 'EDIT' button.....
:[Helpful Stan]
Anyone heard anything from Adam Pearson yet to deny it all ? Thought not.!!
Sorry Adam P. but your halo is getting like the KC, shabby.

no idea but in my experience, there is no such thing as a free lunch. but hey if they win, the City and the University wins I would presume?
Did Dr Allam get a doctrate? and what better flag to fly when doing business around the world? Just a thought like!
Allam has frequently made reference to his gratitude for his adoptive home in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and has made several philanthropic gestures to the area including providing support to several local grassroots sports clubs, making donations to the Hull Truck Theatre, as well as becoming a trustee of the Daisy Appeal, a medical research fund at the local Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham. He has stated he feels an obligation to pay back the region for his success. In September 2010, it was speculated that he was interested in investing in Hull City A.F.C., the local football team, which had been relegated from the Premier League earlier in 2010 with extensive financial problems.[2]

Duh. Business is motivated by profit. Losses mean that businessmen don't stay businessmen for long? maybe it it is that Kudos he gets from doing these acts that gives him more creditabilty in doing business. I still have never met a true philanthopist
He funded Hull University because he wanted a doctrate, he probably just funded The Daisy Appeal because he wanted to get cancer.
