Duffen hasn't got any money, if he's involved in a consortium, he'll just be fronting it as he did for Bartlett.
Yep! One who spends his money but treats us like ****! Or one who spend other people's money on whatever? And says all the right things to us?
I seem to recall that Mr Duffen when last in charge sanctioned the refit of his office to the tune of an extraordinary amount, I recall there being a lengthy discussion regarding this previously. Perhaps someone may recall the amounts involved but I do recall it being ridiculous amounts.
Anyone looking to buy us would be complete mugs. We're one of the favourites, yes but we're not a strong favourite. All we have is players on big contracts. We don't own our stadium. So basically, all they'd be doing is having a bet down the bookies. Don't forget, what Allam did when he bought us was highly unusual. He had to have a reason for doing that. I have always had a strong suspicion, Allam was given promises from HCC councilors that he would acquire the freehold of the KC. That never materialised and that is why he and his family have been so bitter and angry ever since. Even though there's big money coming to Premier league clubs next season, that money will have to be invested in better players on bigger wages, otherwise the owners will find themselves straight back in the brown stuff. No one is going buy us.
So what we've learned so far in the thread is that nobody has a clue who is in the consortium and if it even exists but the Washington Redskins might have to change their name because it's considered a bit racist these days
@bbcburnsy: Breaking...I hear a whisper that one member of the consortium interested in buying @hullcity is Paul Duffen. No confirmation yet. #hcafc This tweet is followed by 7-8 people tweeting how he would be good for the club. Did I miss something last time around?
"He'll learn from his mistakes last time". "He's good with the fans" etc Didn't he scrap any sort of loyalty programme for away games and lots of tickets for big PL away games ended up in the hands of people who probably shouldn't have had them - sponsors, mates, etc? Correct me if I'm wrong but that isn't good for the fans.
This could be Duffen just getting his name back in the lime light, he does like the media circus. Just put the story out there and see where it runs.
