Nor me, £170 million coming in and interest on the debt.
I recall their other businesses were not quite as successful recently, so this money will be welcome.
If they stay I can see them spending **** all and bruce leaving.
I've got a awful feeling this is exactly what will happen.
 
And there were all those people who said promotion was much more likely to result in a takeover.

Who said that again...?
Your point was that the reason why it was much less likely was because the buyers would rather buy a championship club and aim for promotion. Many others said that it wouldn't matter and in fact having a pre-made premier league club was an attraction in itself.

As it is it looks like buyers ARE at the table but the Allams are being ****s as usual. There is no evidence that there would be more or less buyers if we were still in the championship.

Allam Marine profits were down, but only from £9m to £7m, I wish my business was that unsuccessful. :emoticon-0101-sadsm
 
Ehab could have just dropped that comment in just to see what the reaction is, he could be sat reading this forum pissing himself
 
It's fairly obvious he's not that bothered about legacy, he's deliberately pissing everyone off as often as possible.

In the eyes of the world how he feels about us supporters is just a small paragraph, unfortunately. The legacy he's interested in is league and cup success.

Think my recollection was based on this years Yorkshire rich list info below, and Allam Marines turnover and profit are all heading in the wrong direction the last three years Turnover £120m,£100m,£80m, Profits £11m,£9m,£7m, still very nice nonetheless, but there was some more analysis of the business I just can't recall right now..it is Friday......

Meanwhile, Hull City owners Assem Allam has seen his net worth slashed by £100m after the Tigers were relegated from the Premier League last season. The Allam family's fortune has dropped to £240m – making them the 18th richest in Yorkshire.

o_O Do you play Cluedo? You seem to jump from one tread to another with endless suppositions.

I think you're wrong if the price is a sticking point. Negotiations were at an advanced stage prior to Saturday it seems. An agreement in principle would have been made to sell the club with a set price for being in the premiership and another for being in the championship. NO major company is going to fart arse around with the likes of the Allams moving goalposts, they to them are loose change. The new owners plan was 'to make Hull City one of the 10 richest clubs in the country'. If the Allams had two brain cells, they should have a caveat in a contract for a percentage share off future profitability if its down to money. But as has been said, this seems to not be about money, but rather a penis extension for the first born.

Was it?

That would be great, but I don't remember them saying it. Any chance you could refresh my memory and point out where you got this quote from? I can't even remember who the new owners are, let alone reading their statement of their plans for the future. Must be losing my memory - after 50 plus years as a Hull City supporter I guess that is kind of inevitable.

Don't tell him what he said! He'll deny it.

I've never denied anything I've said. That's the thing with written posts that remain on the Internet, the evidence is there. Funny eh? Your problem is you don't ****ing read properly. I asked you several times to show where I said what you said I said and you couldn't, because I hadn't.

My point was - and the posts clearly say this - that the price of buying a premier league club goes up relative to the increased income. If a championship club without its own stadium is worth for example £40m, then once it's promoted it doesn't still cost £40m, it's costs £210m, and therefore it's more economically viable to buy a championship club cos buying a squad to get promoted doesn't cost £170m.

Why is this difficult to grasp?

Geeze, it was you saying that rubbish wasn't it?

A PL club is more attractive than a Championship club because it's already cleared the hurdle of promotion. Guaranteed revenue streams are a pretty big incentive to prospective buyers, and staying up is relatively easier than getting promoted in the first place. Buying a squad to get promoted costs as much as it will cost. It won't cost 170m, but there's no guarantee of promotion no matter what you spend in the Championship, whereas buying a club about to enter a PL season is going to guarantee you the 170m. Why is this difficult for you to grasp?
