Presumably they'll be at the game tomorrow, I wish I'd looked who was in Ehab's car now... Hull City 'in constructive talks with potential buyer' please log in to view this image Hull City have opened exploratory discussions with a potential buyer with a view to the sale of the club. The City vice chairman Ehab Allam is understood to have held a "constructive" discussion over the weekend with representatives from the interested party. With the club on the verge of reaching the Championship playoff final at Wembley, the Tigers are remaining tight lipped today over the potential sale, however the Mail has learnt the team representing the interested buyer spent the weekend in Hull and took a tour of the club's facilities. The potential buyers are understood to be from overseas and flew in at the weekend. City have previously been linked with consortia from America and China. BBC Radio Humberside were also reporting the interest today. Two years have passed since chairman Assem Allam put the club up for sale in the wake of losing a first bid to the Football Association to change the club's name. The family's position has not changed in the interim, with the sale of the club always part of their plan. However, despite speculation linking the club with a number of consortia in the past year, City's owners have not fielded a serious offer before now. Due to confidentiality clauses in place, details of the current bid and bidders are currently scarce, but it seems highly unlikely any details will emerge until after what everyone hopes will be a Wembley visit on Saturday May 28 for the Championship play-off final. City play Derby County on Tuesday night at the KC Stadium with a 3-0 advantage from the first leg. Any sale of the club would be greatly affected by promotion to the Premier League or a failure to go up, with City's uncertainty regarding their prospective division next season a current stumbling block to any deal being agreed imminently. Speaking exclusively to the Mail back in March, Ehab Allam told the Mail there were interested parties, but the Allam family wanted to make sure the right buyer was found. "We've always said we want the club to go to a good home and that hasn't changed. We still want what is best for the club," Mr Allam told the Mail. "There are interested parties, but most interested parties are interested in the Premier League and there are no locally interested parties." http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull...tory-29278561-detail/story.html#ixzz48ozmGkYq
True but let's be honest. Rumours have been doing the rounds for months that there have been interested parties, plus we have 2 games left and the season is finished. Holidays+Euros means there won't be many deals done for a while yet anyway.
No you miss my point. It's not the buyers I'm talking about to the players and deals done. Majority of the European players available to a (hopefully) premier league side will be playing in the Euros plus player holidays for European based none Europeans. Plus let us remember we don't need major rebuilding work as this is the same team that shouldn't have been bloody relegated in the first place.
not any more. besides its **** all to do with you. change your pic from that uberconservative katie hopkins bitch.
I don't know whether you saw my post Saturday evening, if not your parking advice was spot on, many thanks.
Rein your neck in laddo otherwise we'll have to tell your mum to stop giving you all those sugary drinks.
I agree.. AA didnt 'pull a Lloyd' with the gates, did he? AA called some precious ****s a few names and you all think he is the devil. There are worse owners out there. the world is flat isnt it? little englanders.
Why should we be careful what we wish for? The Allam's have committed to leaving the club in good hands when they move on. They've also proclaimed that they never go back on their word.
I must have missed it, no worries Took us a lot longer to get out than usual as the roundabout had turned into a car park, probably due to an almost sell out Derby crowd leaving the ground well before us, but I dread to think just how long it would have taken at the other side of the ground to get on to the A52 and away. If you've ever parked round there I'm sure you can imagine. I was still home in about 45 minutes.
I got out very easily, but I parked about 100 yds down the road when you turn off the dual carriageway to the right and parked in one of the side street on the right in Wilmorton. It was about 20 minutes walk. We went in the pub just before you turned right to walk up to the ground. When leaving the traffic come out was at a stand still so we reached the car and only had 100 yds to the dual carriageway, and then it was plain sailing. P.S. What a cracking day out, the support was fantastic.
