    You wait years for someone that can get on the end if a cross, and then...

    Mind you, when they'd been cut down, they'd probably get put in goal before the holes in their hands had healed.

    That's with hands still attached to the cross (wooden, not a pass from a winger)

    The reason TWF has not commented is because he is part of the consortium - along with loyaltigerbrian and that done deal done deal poster.

    They've got negredo lined up for the Jan window as he knows his onions, and Bullard as player manager.

    I believe Patty is also part of the consortium and has negotiated for live beam backs of all away games (to a room that has a maximum capacity of 1).

    Thanks goodness for that. I don't mind Duffen but Pearson would be a step too far for me. Only thinks about himself.

    We certainly seem to be getting sorted with the short list for who we don't want in charge.

    Duffens a silly ****, but all these 'wouldn't it be awful' posts, you know whose in charge now right?

    The finances were completely ****ed under Duffen, and it's probably his fault we've got the Allams now, but the debt is even greater now than it was then and the club's support has been seriously damaged by the Allams since then. Things really aren't rosy on the ownership front are they? We aren't in a position to be fussy about the next owner.

    Seems clubs in our position often have to go through two or three sets of crazy owners before getting back on their feet. Portsmouth and Leeds for example.

    No comparison. Allam might be a stubborn old git but at least the financials are stable.

    Other than a couple of notable exceptions, pretty much all our owners have been crazy.

    Nice one Eastbourne Imperial. Beam me up Spotty <rofl>

    By the way, what do you make of the current stand made by the central European countries on people arriving from Syria?

    Without question or thought. ^^^^^^ these.


    You are having a laugh or wum-ming. Duffen almost sent the club into oblivion. FACT.

    If only Dufferman had just left a mess. It was much worse than that as history now tells us.

    If Allam sells and the new owners take on the debt they would have to find around £60 million from their own wealth or, if they haven't got any personal wealth, from Hull City's income. That might be possible if we get promoted, if we don't, then it will be extremely difficult. Oh and would they be paying £2 to £3 million a year in interest to Allamhouse?

    I just dont see AA selling the club despite what he has said and why should he ? For now at least.

    Don't you mean why would he? I can think of plenty of reasons why he should.

    I left a mess behind at the KC once, can't hold it against Duffen.














    Oh I see.
