    well, it seems City fans are split again and the ones that want rid of Dr. Allam have won. Since the fans can't afford to buy the club, we can only hope City don't go the way of Portsmouth.

    Tiger Beer don't sponsor individual clubs. Its against their policy.

    Everton got £4 million a year after developing strong ties with Chang over years. They didn't start out getting £4 million a year. Just goes to show what developing a long term link with sponsors can achieve.

    Don't know anything about Sunderland. Maybe if he hadn't been fixated on the name change he could have got in ahead of Sunderland and pulled the deal from under their feet.

    No it isn't. Detailed clauses of the loan agreements i.e.the terms of any recall, don't form part of the accounts and you've contradicted what OLM said anyway.

    well, what option does he have? I he stays, he's a liar, if he goes, he's walking out on the club and shouldn't have been trusted in the first place. He may as well pack it in ... at least he tried ...

    Just keeping digging. I don't see any reason why a nurse cannot be a successful businessman or woman. Shows a bit of prejudice on your part.

    Just out of interest because I never asked him, when did Mark stop being a nurse?

    Barely anyone wants rid of him, it's his decision if he walks, ultimately that it's based on a fall-out with someone on the council, it's not a commercial decision.

    It's a little more than an assumption, you'd have to be stark raving bonkers to do an inter-company loan and not leave yourself free to call it in.

    Oh, hang on... <laugh>

    There’s a difference, which would be clear to anyone, even to a modest intelligence like yours, so I shan’t bother to address your desperate and inept attempts at debate.

    Further, the only definition I’ve offered in this discourse is that I think you’re a recreant.

    No ... just as a successful businessman can be a good nurse .... I'm not sure what you're arguing .... that Mark Gretton would run city better than Dr. Allam? .... based on what experience?

    Can&#8217;t wait until next month when the next batch of 'new' posters straight from the illiteratti all sign up to extol the virtues of Allem PhD.

    You're right, no detailed clauses on the accounts. However the accounts show that the loan to Allamhouse of £73 million is repayable within a year. Usually that means it is payable on demand, unlike a fixed term loan, say over 10 years, or a mortgage.

    I think Allamhouse may have a debenture charge on Hull City as there is one outsanding according to Companies House. A debenture is a public document, available for at a small price and may have details of the repayment conditions.

    This is what selling your soul buys you(Red Bull Leipzig)...

    &#8220;Football needs workers&#8217; participation, loyalty, standing terraces, emotion, financial fair play, tradition, transparency, passion, history, independence.&#8221;

    In theory, RB Leipzig&#8217;s players should have acclimatised to being the most widely loathed team in German football: over the past five years the club, owned and run by the Austrian energy drink giant Red Bull, has climbed through the lower leagues to its current position near the top of the second division, and the boos and jeers from opposing fans have got louder and louder.

    And yet it seems they still weren&#8217;t prepared for what happened on Sunday: when Leipzig&#8217;s first XI entered Union Berlin&#8217;s Alte Försterei stadium at 1:30pm, they were greeted with 15 minutes of silence from the 20,000 spectators, clad almost entirely in black.

    And that is what the FA are determined to prevent and rightly so.

    It's academic as no company is interested now, but a good businessman would surely be able to make capital out of our Tigers nickname without even changing the team name and attracting the piss poor PR and media coverage we've suffered over the last year or so?

    I deal with more than one successful local non-health related business that's run by a former nurse.

    Mr Allam has never manufactured 1 generator, he employs people who do that.
