Just wondered if the council had said anything regarding Allams suggestion they had offered him the freehold ?
Burnsy spoke to someone from the council this morning on his show and they knew nothing about it but was going to check it out and get back to him. They are on about it now on his show
If what Allam says is true that he's been offered the freehold of the stadium and turned it down due to his personal spat with Geraghty*, then he's simply holding the club back and he needs to go. He had the right intentions initially wanting to get the stadium but turning it down just because he can't deal with TG is unforgiveable. This is the future of our club he's gambling with. If it's not true then obviously he's lied again. *By the way, I've been trying to find out what pissed Allam off so much about Geraghty and I now know. It wasn't something he said as such but TG's relaxed demeanour to the meeting. He wore a cardigan and messed about with his iPad during the meeting. Very unprofessional but ffs Allam is it that insulting that it's more important than the financial future of the club?
I happen to think some people wear cardigans very well and, erm, sorry what else? I couldn't concentrate, I was playing angry birds. Come back...
Just to clarify - I don't think cardigans are unprofessional and I wouldn't give a **** what someone wore to a meeting, it was the iPad bit I agreed was unprofessional.
If he does something else mental, like sack Brucie, we could all wear a cardigan at the KC in protest. And the pro Hull Tigers lot could have a ceremonial cardigan burning. So many iconic statements to be made.
Actually, instead of passing a big Hull City flag around with signatures on it, we could pass a massive cardigan with a huge I-pad inside it over the east stand. Who can knit?
If he has been offered the freehold, he is more likely to have baulked at whatever price the HCC has put on it. Don't forget - initially he wanted it 'for free' and the council offered a joint-deal, which he apparently turned down (Or is all that just a myth?)
No, it's true. He doesnt want to pay for the stadium and it now seems will try any excuse not to do so. See above 'unprofessionalism' story. For ****s sake, it's pathetic. He's the one looking to get the stadium, the council dont want to give it away. If I went to buy a house - as he always equates it to when saying 'you wouldnt build an extension on a rented house' - and the vendor was playing with his ****ing cock I wouldnt care if I wanted it that much. I really didnt think he could make me dislike him more but he's managing it by the day. That's some going.
Didn't Burnsey say yesterday that the council had offered to give him the freehold, ie for nothing? I may have misheard.
Unless of course, he's a mad old sod whose pride, and being seen as someone who never changes his mind or backs down, is more important than anything else
He's bonkers, but he's not that bonkers, if he'd been offered a free stadium, he'd definitely take it.
was it a pink cardigan? some people think pink cardigans are dead cool. maybe geraghty was taking the minutes on his ipad.
The 'free' in Freehold isn't related to the cost. I'll get the technicalities wrong, but it means it's free of other claims on it.
I live and learn (despite the chairman's wishes) I just assumed it was an alternative to leasehold. I bet I've misunderstood that too.
I wouldn't think so. Freehold is an alternative to freehold. The leaseholder occupies the property with the permission of the freeholder, usually but not always by the payment of a commercial rent.
