    It was actually 45 minutes. The deadline for signing was just 45 minutes away when Assam Allam agreed to the terms. There where only 4 days left on the winding up petition. We where literally on the verge. Dr Allam paid out 17.5m in the first 24hrs of owning the club and the auditors uncovered another 35m of debt that was not revealed until well after he took over. Russell Bartlett did not lose a penny from his ownership of the club!!! Not one ****ing penny and yet it is the Allams who get questioned....get real! Oh and how do I know all of this....I was told by Assem Allam....Next!

    I understand why you're called "The Bullshit Man".. the interest plus a small proportion will probably be scheduled each year. Who are "we" in this weird world that you live in? We're talking about balance sheets & company structures.. Allamhouse is the holding company, HCAFC operates as a subsiduary, the SMC is a way of reducing your tax bill.

    mmmm, nope youre wrong........the SSMC is just what it says on the tin...The management company...its just a contractual vehicle..only there for one reason, to manage the stadium. If it was to be set up today it would possibly be in the form of a "Not For Profit Organisation" or a "Community Based Enterprise".

    I knew Geraghty was old, but I didn't realise he actually knew Napoleon...

    I know I have the interest rate we're paying somewhere, but I can't find it, but looking at the accounts for the year the Allam's took over, our interest payments dropped from £1.9m for the final Bartlett year, to £950k. So whatever we're paying the Allam's, it's half what we were paying the outside lenders.

    Yes it was. FACT. You might want to go back and read the HDM archives from the time.

    Just seen this, cheers.

    Yes, he is wrong. No way was it a 100 year lease. It was a 125 year one.

    Who was married to who and who were board members of City and the supermarket group explain a lot.

    Are you saying I am wrong!

    Get someone to explain how to use google and type in 125 year lease for supermarket at Boothferry Park or something similar. Then remember not to put alleged or silly smilies without checking on what other people have written.

    A lot are too young and others obviously didn't go before we had a nice new stadium and a bit of success.
