    I was there for the launch, they're working closely with the City of Culture team this time around, they've learnt from previous years and with some other new sponsors on board it will surely be good for the City.

    It did me too initially, then I realised it should be 'he does have another shirt', a little jibe at the accusation that our chairman only has the one shirt.

    Good, it killed all the grass in front of the South Stand last time.

    I believe it's now just called The Sports Arena, as it doesn't currently have a sponsor.

    Wrong, it's the same shirt washed so many times it's lost a bit of the colour.

    If only he was as benevolent and successful as you. Imagine if he'd done as much for the city and for the club as you have.

    If only eh?

    I've spent thousands on Hull City and don't want a penny of it back - all he's done is spent the princely sum of $1 - all the rest is a loan and he wants it back, although if he man's up and converts some of it into equity then he can rightly claim he's put more money in than I have

    That's not true. You want to run the club without any of the risk. You want the power without the responsibility.

    Kinell that's a direct Allam quote isn't it? There must come a point where you start to realise...

    Is this the same World Championship Squash Tournament held in Hull which Hull City Council portfolio holder for Leisure and Tourism, Terry Geraghty, didn't utter a word about and last year completely left it out of the councils literature on forthcoming events to be held in the city?
    But couldn't speak enough about how cultural darts and rugby league are?

    Ehab can afford any car he fancies, I don't think the Allam's involvement at City has any bearing on what he drives.

    Geraghty's a prick, but he did build a temporary squash court in an empty shop unit on Whitefriargate, the week before the Open, so people could wander in and try it for themselves.
