I had a fascinating 20 minute discussion with him in the Hotel in Zilina. He's quite a character. I voted 'no' to Hull Tigers but I'm not so sure I would any more.
Assem Allam is not just a very successful businessman, he's a Hull City (Hull Tigers?) fanatic and a more passionate supporter than most. He wants to make changes not because he can but because he loves the club and wants to see it take off. That's hard when your basic revenue is £x million down on those you're competing with because of it being such a small stadium. But he's also not for fighting battles he either can't win or turn out to be a Pyrrhic victory.
If he gets an offer for the club he would probably take it and then we would have an owner who is a businessman and not a passionate supporter. A businessman who would come in with the same challenge, we are probably 10,000 seats light of being able to compete. I may not like everything Assem Allam wants to do but now I know his heart is truly with our club I would rather back him 100% than the alternative.
I want more days like Wembley and Trencin away. Not proudly saying we kept our name with 35 others on a cold, wet Friday night in Swansea being beaten 2-0.
