Excellent article. You can say what you like about CI (and many on here do) but Nash and the majority of the contributers on there know exactly what the club is about and have been there for the long haul
I think we'll be sold, as there is no reason, that stacks up, for Ehab not to sell. He's **** at running the club and the constant PR shambles is an embarrassment to him and his family; one that will only get far worse. Bruce has invested a lot of himself into our club, he won promotion and he will consider it a job not yet finished; but he won't work under Ehab. So, which is the biggest fail in this dilemma? Do we hope for the sale and hope Bruce can field an attacking team, or do we suffer Ehab and hope for entertaining football, from a new manager, to distract us from the weekly nonsense?
I don't think he will sell, but naturally I'm looking forward to you telling me that you told me so As for the biggest fail - entertaining football will in no way distract from the current owners staying. I'm happy for Bruce to close the door behind them and stay
A truly excellent summary of the Allam saga, when someone takes the time to put down on paper the sequence of event during the Allams tenure, it really highlights what a divisive regime they have created.
I hope you're right regarding a sale, but the Allams are so damned egotistical you can see them not selling just to cause further fan unrest. I just want to enjoy going to football for the football and not the pantomime circus that goes on behind the scenes.
I only got halfway through. Issue isn't the length it's the narrative structure. Incredibly hard to follow because the author rambles in a lot of places, something he even admits to doing early in the piece. The argument itself is good and fills in a lot of issues with the owners but gee it's hard to focus.
I hope you are right but the really strong rumours are that the little **** is not going to sell and that is why the meeting didn't take place over the weekend.
Good article. Would prefer it more objectively written with less coloquialisms. Would likely have been more effective to it's 'blank canvas' out of town target audience. In fact, I would love to see an Allam timeline with bullet points. Could have a 'fan' time line parralel to it. I bet it would be fascinating to look at.
Agreed, it seems confused about who its target audience is. Addressed to neutrals who don't know what's happened, but then referring to things like 'Allam Jr' etc. which isn't inherently clear.
I didn't say it wasn't clear to me, I said it didn't present itself well to its intended audience - neutrals.
Maybe you should get neutered, then. I'm not going to engage in a futile, all-night argument with you; there are several others on here who've got far more experience than I have in putting you back in your cage! And it usually makes entertaining reading watching you squirm. I've got better things to do ... one of my toenails needs clipping, so tara -- assuming that isn't too colloquial for you. What a pillock you consistently insist on proving yourself to be. Why?
Calm down. Several others had offered their critique on a rambling mess of an article, apologies for thinking I'd be able to do likewise without having someone jump down my throat.
So the several others managed to get through the first 5 lines & gave up ? It's the first article I've seen consolidate the complete sequence of disastrous cock-ups the Allams have made in their tenure...as well as include reasonable insight to their real motives for offering their "gift" to the citizens of Hull. I've never seen any of those criticizing this article ever put anything like this together, "rambling" or otherwise.. Or did you ?
