    It was July and we were in the Southern United States. As I'd been 6 or 7 times already by that point, I took the risk and it paid off.

    Your mission Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to rescue an ailing tiger from the clutches of a wily old pharaoh. Held deep within the vaulted maze of an ancient pyramid, this cat will be almost impossible to retrieve unless you bear gifts of enormous large golden cows and alabaster jars full to the brim with precious oils. Like your namesake Jim, you too will have to go where no man has gone before – the British Squash Championships, as only there will you find the pharaoh to be at his most genial and receptive. Good luck Jim - this truly is a mission impossible. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Hold on Jim, just one last thing - did Joey ever get to see a grown man naked?

    Without Russell Bartlett the Allams would never have been interested.

    The Allams are the main reason they found the people interested they got the club to where it was bartlett only played his part by screwing the club.

    The Allams weren't interested in Hull City AFC until Bartlett got us into the Premier League for the first time in our history.

    the Allams were only interested because they thought they could get the stadium for free - their greed got the better of them so much that they didn't do their due diligence properly and no end of skeletons came out of the cupboard regarding further debts etc - pair of planks

    For those with issues opening links at work...

    American consortium closing in on Hull City takeover

    please log in to view this image


    THE sale of Hull City has moved a significant step closer with the favoured American consortium close to agreeing a deal, the Mail understands. An agreement between City and the American group, who include former US marine and Goldman Sachs managing director Peter Grieve, could even come as soon as early next week.

    City yesterday confirmed the Mail's story that three parties were still interested in buying the newly-promoted Premier League club, but the American group remain in pole position and are believed to be hopeful an agreement in principal can be reached in a matter of days.

    Investment banker Grieve made his money in private wealth management funds and is the chairman and owner of Bantu Rovers Football Club, a professional football team in Zimbabwe. While Grieve is now the public face of the American bid, it's understood there are at least two more members of the consortium working in conjunction alongside him in the takeover of City.

    While an agreement is edging ever closer, any takeover of the club would not happen swiftly with due diligence still to take place. City's other two prospective buyers have not given up hope of securing the club themselves, although that appears an increasingly unlikely prospect.

    With the American consortium further down the line than the other two parties and seemingly prepared to pay the asking price of around £100m, there is a growing confidence their bid will be accepted imminently. Vice-chairman Ehab Allam continues to oversee the takeover as owner and chairman Assem Allam recovers from an operation.

    Dr Allam yesterday released a statement through Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust to confirm he had undertaken a successful surgery and is recovering in Castle Hill hospital. The City owner is expected to be discharged soon to continue his recovery at home, but is likely to leave the remaining negotiations in the hands of his son, who will finalise a deal.

    News of an agreement moving closer is expected to increase the chances of manager Steve Bruce staying at the club. Bruce, who is due to return home from a family holiday in the next few days, has been mulling over his future at City.

    Sources have indicated Bruce would be encouraged by the takeover of the American investors if the money to rebuild his side is made available and would be willing to work with the new owners moving forward. The City boss has given an indication of his intent, with the Mail understanding he has been in contact with the club during his holiday to keep abreast of the situation and to discuss plans for pre-season.

    The club's doing a Throwback Thursday on Twitter, and have retweeted a couple - including me - who have used the #hcafc, which is interesting. I don't think they normally do.
