This " On hold until September ", news has put an absolute damper on today and the rest of the summer. If what Lambo has said, re the Americans having enough, is true, and I have no reason to disbelieve him, that really is the last ****ing straw. Words are just not enough to express my absolute feelings of disgust at the way the Allams try to play the Big I ams. OK! they have far more money than I would ever dream of having, but at least I have Honesty and Integrity, something they lack in abundance. ALLAMS OUT.
"I'll sell the club for the Millions It's worth or for £1 to the fans. " It really Does'nt matter. Assem Allam.
There's no way any self respecting potential buyers will take kindly to sudden key being told they have to wait another 2 months. In addition, they know that even if they do but it in September the squad has to stay exactly as it is until Jan 1st. Well we might be effectively down by then and the club could potentially be on the cusp of being worth ****loads less. So basically, forget the September thing. It isn't happening.
That's precisely the point though isn't it? I am not ITK in any way, but I do have experience of some pretty big deals. This to me looks like the Allams saying that what's been offered would buy you a failing Premier League team, not one with untold potential, which you could buy now if you offer more or as has been rumoured meet more stringent payment terms. They may have misjudged it, but it looks like a negotiating tactic to me
A Premier League team with untold potential? That could be said of any PL team, all of who, except one other, play in their own stadium. Looking at what some clubs with larger grounds and more potential have gone for they should have snapped any bid approaching £100million up.
I don't dispute that at all and agree with you, but the club is worth more now than it will be once the transfer window closes, unless we've done some very good transfer deals already (which seems unlikely) and / or have more points than would be expected. 'Difficult to quantify' might have been a better term than 'untold'
Me too. Have the Allams got wind of some deal with the council and the yanks to develop the area. Thus(like it) meaning more potential? Just to turn the abuse on its head a little FFS you American ****s just agree to the ****ing ****ing deal you Yankee ****ing ****ers. Whats a couple of clauses and ten or twenty more million. You ****ing cockwomble ****s. Do the ****ing deal ****ers.
"My vision is for Hull City to be owned 40 per cent by local business owners from Hull and 60 per cent the fans" "Once we've got the club back on a stable financial footing, we hope to float it on the stock market. A longer term aspiration is to provide the opportunity for the fans to become shareholders." According to Allam all clubs, except us, own their stadium. "All football clubs have the freehold of the stadiums they play in"
The yanks are not stupid either. They are not going to bankroll any transfer funds until they own the club, unless they have a cast iron legally binding agreement they will own the club come September. Can you see the Allams agreeing to that. I can't they are too untrustworthy to paint themselves into that sort of corner. So we are stuck with this reported £18 million transfer budget which Bruce claims will not make us competitive in the PL. Next news to come out from club will be that Bruce has told them to stick their job where the sun don't shine and walked and if it is to another club rather than the England job don't be surprised come September if 2/3rd of the team have joined him. ALLAMS OUT.
