He only paid £1.5 million out of a £6 million cost and it was then called the Allam Building plus they gave him an honorary Doctorate - this 'gift' is for £7 million out of £25 million so no doubt he gets his name on it - you kind of feel sorry for the taxpayer who paid the rest and get no recognition at all

Why do you put gift in apostrophes, therefore suggesting it is not a gift?

You really are a ****.

He pays tax too. He's also forked out a lot of his own personal money. As gifts. To the people of Hull. Have you?

Like Charlie said, you put your cheque in the post for 8.5 million?

Because it can't be said too often, you're a ****.

Some more philanthropy...

On Thursday 30th April former Tigers Co-op committee members Ian White and Frank Beill (now an HCST committee member) visited the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit in the Queen’s Centre at Castle Hill Hospital. A cheque for £6,000 was given to the unit’s Youth Support Co-ordinator Danielle Sharp.

This money is part of the £18,000 from Tigers Co-op funds being donated to football related good causes as part of the evolutionary process by which the Tigers Co-op has become the HCST. The TCT qualifies because it is Hull City’s nominated charity of the season. It was hoped that a Hull City player such as Curtis Davies, who is the club’s nominated ambassador to the charity, would be present to accept the donation. However, despite repeated requests made by the TCT to the management of Hull City AFC no one was made available. This is the reason why the donation has been delayed.

The aim of the TCT Unit at Castle Hill Hospital is to ensure the best possible quality care is given so that the young person is treated as a young person first and cancer patient second.

The unit is for 18-24 year olds and has four in-patient beds. Younger teenagers who have commenced their treatment in Leeds may also use the centre. The bedrooms are equipped with soft furnishings, bespoke furniture, TV, DVD and gaming facilities and Wi-Fi with laptops. There is also a recreational area with a pool table and television.

If you wish to support the valuable work of the TCT by making a donation, you may do this (preferably via the Gift Aid scheme) at:

This is wrong, mate. This gesture of Allam is excellent and we should not denigrate it or ourselves by getting issues confused.

This is equally excellent and wonderful news. It really did deserve its own thread, rather that being used as a shallow competitive comparison.

Let's get back to being decent, relevant supporters with a valid point. <cheers>

I think you'll find he has and with a lot less fanfare than Assem Allam. Some people give donations in public, others in private.

Aye, to be honest I saw the quotes, but even so ...

I am a big critic of the prick, but he hurts only my sensibilities; these things do a far deeper and lasting good. This is how he has ducked up the whole perspective of what he does. It's a crying, bloody shame.

I just hope we don't play two defensive wingbacks tomorrow. UTT <cheers>

So is his donation more worthy than Allams as it's done in private? It's all worthy. People give for different reasons and don't all want it to be done in public. No need to pit one against the other. If he does give large amounts of his own cash then why feel the need to piss all over someone else who does the same.

Well done the trust on their donation too. cancer patients are grateful whoever gives and whatever amount. It's not a competiton ffs.
 
There is no doubt Assam Allam is a very generous man when it comes to donations like this, and they are extremely beneficial to the local community as a whole.
I am a large critic of the Allam's handling of many matter at Hull City AFC, but credit where credit is due.

Credit where's it's due, this is a wonderful gesture. Well done Allam. Thumbs up from me certainly.

However it still doesn't change how i feel about the name change or Airco Arena situation. It kind of makes it worse. We can all see how nice he can be, which makes his stubbornness even more ridiculous.

I think you have to speak from personal experience. And for me, he's still more a bullying old twat than a generous benefactor.

And one more thing to those of you saying 'is your £8m cheque in the post?' And people 'liking' it. It's the most ridiculous thing I've read here in a while. You know no-one on here has that cash and can do that. You just snort away.

But I tell you something. If I DID have as much money as Allam, I too would gift to the City I love. Even more.

But I wouldn't piss most of its population off by trying to rename our football club and kicking local sports teams out of the Airco.

But you'll only listen to the one with the money, won't you?

As Bruce Robinson wrote, "those with the money are considered eccentric. Those without, insane."

No one is saying change how you feel about him. I've no idea if anyone on here has money or not. I don't care one way or the other if they do or don't. Easy to say 'if I had that kind of money I'd give even more away'. Pointless statement really full of posturing nonsense.
