No to getting £75M or no to him pocketing it? If it's the latter, why not?
.... and an owner like Ken Bates will come onto the scene and the downward spiral begins.

I thought if a player was sold without asking to be then he was entitled to have his contract paid up.
if this is the case AA would lose significantly more money if he were to sell our better players, they are the ones on the bigger salaries
£40k a week with 2 years left on a contract would be £4.16m. They'd lose a **** load.

A player only gets his contract paid up if it's cancelled, or if it's part of a deal where he accepts lower wages at a new club.
Normally, when a player moves the new club start paying his wages and the selling club just get the fee, there's no additional money to be paid to the player.
I consider the Allams equal with Harold N our best owners ever .
If the FA say yes or no I hope the Allams Stay .
Don't CTWD also have no problem with the Allams apart from the name change ?
I'm amazed to see the animosity towards AA. No matter how petty and anti-football his name change proposal is, he still saved our bacon and more. Completely gobsmacked to see how some have painted him.
Well said - 100% agreeI don't think anyone would have the feelings they do towards him if he had just tried to change the name. It has been his complete contempt for fans that has been upsetting for many. The things that he has said are generally patronising, arrogant, and unfounded in the opinion of many fans.

I wonder that if they got offered the stadium then this name change nonsense would just go away. I don't know enough about it but maybe the council could re-think their policy about this for the greater good and let them have it. I do know that the name change is not needed or necessary and support all attempts to stop it. Again I don't know enough about the Allams dealings with the council and vice-versa but there is a way out there maybe if some politicians and businessmen can swallow a bit of pride? As it stands for me we would be better off without them even if it hurt us a bit initially but if they want to recover their money then it seems like they can't just walk away.

Why should the Council just give them the stadium.

End game approaches now. A reasonable enough letter form Ehab but nothing different to what has already been said. So the Allams lose the vote, what happens next? Will it be a pyrrhic victory?
As accountants there will be an exit strategy in mind. Who will or can buy us? There is no other local investor so are we at the mercy of a foreign investor with a questionable past and financially unstable future?
Will the Allams put us up for sale and slowly sell off, drip by drip, the playing staff. Hudd and a few others in the summer, with no credible replacements. I would imagine it will take a few years to recoup their money but they arent going away without it. Once they get their money they can sell at a reasonable price. Either way they will be stay away owners.
So what next for City?

I'm not saying they should just give him it, but they could sell it to him at a stupid low price as it's costing them too much money. Money that would be better spent in saving the likes of Ennerdale and the parks etc.
