I don't think anyone would go into partnership with AA, so either the announcement will be that we're getting a new owner, or that we're not. I don't think Ehab taking more of a role warrants a statement, he's doing that role already.
Can't see it myself surely, if this was the case the time to do it was before all our new addition's, why now, does not make sense. There's no way that the local and national press would not have got hold of it, if it was the case(selling)
to be fair it would be hillarious... spend a **** ton of money and then say right, back me or I am off.. I can't see it happening but then again.... It wouldn't surprise me that much. I would still vote No but i suspect yes would win this time round, might be wrong.
It does not matter if the Allams had another ballot or not. The name change would not be possible this season and would not be sanctioned by the FA even with a fans ballot. As far as the Ben Arthur loan not being financed by the club, we had a "debate" on Steve Bruce's sphere of influence in the club. Most deals are done between chairmen aren't they? Personally I do not care either way. But I cannot see how taking a player on loan could produce a viable return for a lender. How do you calculate it? We did not buy him after all and so gain nothing if he is sold, it's all a bit too speculative isn't it?
Probably an exciting new venture with a Hull based window making company that're going to sponsor the stairwell in E1.
As olm has already said if a deal was done to sell the club it would already be out in the national press etc as they would have to inform the premier league for starters
Unless this is a pre-announcement in which they are informing the fans of who is GOING to be taking over if they get FA approval.
How would that help the Allams change the name? If fan approval is important to getting the FA to approve the name change, it is hardly going to be seen as anything other than blackmail. If fan approval is not important to getting FA approval, why bother at all with a ballot?
