According to the HDM the Allams are after £100m to sell. I've had a look down the back of the sofa and I'm a bit shy of that amount <laugh>

Haha made that joke somewhere else.

Quite seriously, for 100m the Yanks should be on it in a flash. Works out best for both parties, Allams make a profit, and the Yanks get a PL club relatively cheaply (considering we're making a guaranteed 170m this season at minimum, before considering any money they want to put in on top of that).

We're guaranteed £170m over the next four seasons, we're only guaranteed £100m for this season.
 
On par with the sale of Swansea then...seems about right. I wonder if owning the stadium is high on the yanks agenda? I think the development opportunity around the stadium is probably going to help this deal get over the line....fingers crossed.
 
Sounds promising I'm assuming if they hope to conclude a deal by the end of the month the price will already have been disussed
 
Just googled it and in the Yorkshire post article from February it said the debt owed to Allamhouse was £77.4m. Does that include the 40 million they bought the club and debts for?

EDIT: I guess not so will they make a 17.4m loss on the sale if it goes through at 100m? Not including salaries etc over the period of ownership.

Maybe they won't view it as a loss given all the coverage their company has received over the last few years, either way I hope they are gone soon and it's a shame we will still be known as 1904 next season, maybe Hull City can make a return on the badge in 2017 for the City of Culture final months.

If they sell for £100m they'll make a £25-30m profit (depending on what debt they paid down this year) and they've already had about £20m in interest and group tax relief, so they'll have done very well out of it.
