Hull City AFC (DMD) said:
"Like, when they were moving season ticket holders out of long held seats at the stadium for the second time in as many years - and not learning the lessons that the club had lost chunks of core support for doing this back then - here was further proof that the fans were indeed 'irrelevant' at Hull City. "

There's a poetic irony in that part of the text, given the "conversations" I had with the author and a couple of his chums at the time. I seem to recall being told I was wrong for predicting that, and a number of other things that have turned out to be sadly accurate.

And yet your post has no likes dutch. Strange old world.
When we all thought the membership idea was ****, he thought it was "dynamic"
Seems if they're made to feel a bit special all is good with the world

I think you're a worrier rev; if the Allams want out, the club would sell whatever league we're in, they'd obviously get more for a PL team though - players come, players go, it's always been that way. A new manager needed? I think plenty on here would see that as a positive - as for ''looking at several years of championshop mediocrity'' ..... I know it's not the PL but, Championship ''mediocrity'' has given some of the best competetive, enjoyable football that we've seen in years.

I knew what his point was Stan, I was making the point that if they really wanted out they'd sell whatever league we were in, I personally think Allam Jr is struggling to part with it now we're in the PL - salewise it MAY have been better not to have been promoted ........ all supposition on my part and we'll never know. More worryingly is the lack of news regarding any kind of sale.

I agree with you, and I'm a tad apprehensive about Ehab's possible second thoughts.

He's just keeping his cards close to his chest Stanners. He despises the media, especially the local ones, and why wouldn't he?

We'll be sold. Soon.

Trust me, I'm a photographer.

Or I was.

Not a worrier - a realist. Don't see too many championship clubs being sold and maybe PL has spoiled us but the standard of championship football in the season just gone wasn't great. For me if we had lost the play off final we would not only have lost the majority of the players who started at Wembley, meaning an almost total rebuild of the squad, but as a consequence would have struggled to mount any kind of promotion push this season. I'm not happy to settle for mid table championship and I think that's what we'd be looking at had we lost to the Wendies. It's getting harder every season to get promoted from the championship and at least we know if we get relegated this season we will have the £££££ to invest in the squad the season after.

Allams won't sell at a loss and I doubt they would raise the money they want if we had remained a championship club.
 
It is a first class summary of everything that has gone on by what is probably quite a few peoples view.

It would be interesting reading to see something similar written by the Allams on their perception of what has gone on. It may then make it a bit easier to understand how their "logic" works.

They could title their piece of literary genius "All fans are ****s!"
