This is my feeling too... Assem as been pretty invisible of late and we've seen more and more of Ehab in the press etc etc.. Could be wrong but it seems the most plausible.
It's not a threat to the majority. Why can't you get over YOUR stubbornness and see that? What good are YOU doing anyone?
He can't in much the same way that others can't for the complete opposite reason. It's brought up in threads even when there is no relevance to it all the time.
Why? The ownership of our club is the modt important issue to me at the moment. What better place to debate it than a messageboard? I find Chazz particularly difficult to understand so questioned him. I don't get his glee over the way AA treats the fans, but he doesn't deny it happens like Happy, or brush it to aside just cos the football side is going well like many on here. He acknowledges it but seems to enioy it, which I find bizarre. The fact you don't like the topic, or more specifically my stance on it (which I've explained several times recently and no one's given me an explanation why there's anything wrong with it) is no reason to stop talking about it. You don't have to be involved.
I believe that this, or the suggestion of Ehab moving up, are the most likely outcomes of any (if any) ownership announcements next week.
Fear of change and past bad experiences. I think he's selling. If he's selling to someone local its possible Allamhouse will keep a stake and Ehab become Chairman. If not its more likely to be an 100% sale. If the report of the press conference is correct then we don't have to wait long.
I think the statement this week will be about AA stepping back in an active role in all his businesses. If the Allams had been negotiating to sell the club then the FA would have had to be involved at an early stage to comply with their fit and proper rules. That means dozens of legal people, secretaries being involved so a leak of substantive information would be inevitable. Close families can keep things like a retirement in-house.
We have been told from day one that the club needed change to make it viable. Assem Allan has done exactly what the manual say's is needed to turn a business around. Clear out unproductive elements. Engage better management. Look at branding. Increase demand. Invest in infrastructure. Prepare to be able to meet future demands. Hull City has moved on from a loss making football club to a club that is near self sustaining and has a squad capable of maintaining its PL position. His work is done and now he has to move on.
Ehab doesn't seem as mental as Assem, despite sharing similar views, he doesn't seem like he's as cut and dry as his dad.
Not quite, he has one final task, to make sure the new owners are as good as he is/was (excluding the name change obviously).
You jump on each and every opportunity, even when there's no opportunity there, to turn threads into an Allam popularity contest. It's boring.
David Burns @bbcburnsy Credit to @1_DanKemp on tweet re Assem Allam saying statement on Hull City ownership this week. Still being told it's not been sold...#hcafc
Person at my work told me today that the Ben Arfa deal was done with someone else's money. Never touched the Allams, done purely by Steve Bruce and a mystery man with money. Mind you, she also told me we were definitely signing Welbeck...
I'm hearing the Allams will announce a new ballot on the name change, and there will only be two options. One will be we vote for the change the other they sell up.
