I'm done. Not even gonna watch a City game until they've ****ed off. Absolutely sick of it. It's truly amazing, isn't it? For a few years, the way things were going, most would say they were going to be our best ever owners and were even suggesting statues could be on the horizon. Now they're the worst owners we've ever had. If anything, it's unbelievably disappointing how they have gone from heroes to zeroes so quickly and for such incredibly stupid and avoidable reasons.
I've not read everything today so this may have been said already. However, the September date sounds like a negotiating tactic to me. They set a deadline of Monday to get the (new) price they wanted but they didn't get it. That's because is was a completely bogus deadline with no compulsion to act. The consortia just kept negotiating. September obviously coincides with the closing of the transfer window. So if the new owners want to spend money, in the first half of the season, they need to be in control at least during August. Otherwise they (and we) know there will only be 18 million to spend -which is nothing in the current market. To try and get them to meet the inflated asking price the Allams have said fine lets talk in September knowing the other party need to be in control before then to strengthen the squad and give us a chance of staying up. Either it'll work and the consortia will come back with a better offer or they'll say fine and walk. It happens all the time in sales. If the other party knows you've got a deadline, like quarter end or year end, they will use that to try and screw a few more pounds out of you......
It's only a confidentiality agreement if the deal is still ongoing. As soon as one party ends talks for good they can say what they want about the process. What's the punishment for talking out if they're no longer interested / involved?
Maybe this consortium don't really have the finances to meet the cost? Maybe they do not have the nous to know how to generate it. Maybe they are a bunch of mid-life crisis thrill seekers who are out of their depth? All talk is about the sneaky viperous Allams - can anyone tell me anything about this consortium other than that an ex-marine is their public face?
And I do think continued silence suggests that. Confidentiality agreements do not go beyond the period they are required which is negotiation time. If that breaks down then any associated agreement does as well apart from where the confidentiality protection is provided by law such as data protection and so on. They will be back me thinks. If not they will start a little background campaigning to finally nail the old twat and any lingering credit he has. Question after that is if he is mad megalomaniac enough to stay under his stone and watch it all die, after all his loan is secure isn't it? Prediction - they will be back in days, if not they won't be back in days. Ok?
I remember just before all the name change stuff being at North Ferriby. There was a City fan virtually kow-towing to them thanking them so much for everything. They (snr and jnr) stood there taking his adulation with nice broad smiles of their faces. I'd not have gone that far as to almost kow-tow, but I thought fair do's, he's right in his praise. I was so grateful to the Allam's for everything. Then my support fell down for them like a pack of cards. I often wonder what the praising bloke things now. For or against. Just shows what was and now what is. So **** 'em. But any new owners should know that there is a massive section of fans just waiting for new owners, Hull City and concessions back so they once again buy a pass. We are here and we want back in. We won't be back while the Allam's are there so if you can, please buy our club.
The Allams must have skin thicker then Rhino`s, to be boo`d when lifting the play off trophy must have rung alarm bells, the low amount of `memberships` purchased must enhance the knowledge they are no longer wanted at this club, yet they poodle around with a serious bidder raising the odds time and time again to such an extent that it looks like they have completely ballsed it up. The manager is pulling his hair out and given the first opportunity will be off like a shot and who can blame him, we have a thread bear squad, which desperately needs quality additions yet they sit on their throne pretending all is well. Can anyone be as deluded as this, surely they can see what is in front of them, this is the best opportunity they have to recoup what they have spent, but alas it seems they cannot even see this.
its not actually - however breaching a confidentiality agreement is hardly the crime of the year, firstly its a breach of trust/goodwill but you can only get compensation if you can prove financial damages which is quite difficult to prove
They have already proven they have the necessary finance in place, to meet I assume a staggered payment scheme. But ****head and son keep moving the goalposts. ALLAMS. OUT
When you're sat on £100 million of asset, their attitude is probably/ actually... **** everyone... Its our ball and we're taking it home. As has been said... bums NOT on seats is the only way to deal with this. The news will reach far far beyond the football sphere into their other businesses as people who cannot be trusted and are not worth negotiating with.
Whilst the red card might not have achieved the success it might have... lets everyone buy red t shirts. When everyone asks why the supporters aren't wearing black and amber the message will soon get out..
Good job you lot ain't contract lawyers! Confidentially agreements bind for the duration of the agreement. That can be anything. It is what is agreed on and written. Where did you get the fact they stop as negotiations stop???? Who knows what's written in this one? It could be until any deal is agreed. As for penalties, they are usually financial and that's why you lot aren't hearing anything too tasty.
It is not a crime at all. This is civil law. And confidentiality is part of an Agreement, a.k.a. a contract. Presumably there is no Agreement because negotiations seem to have failed.
You are on the right track. People don't become very wealthy by being nice. You'll find (I hope) that the wealthy in fact don't give a tinker's cuss what anyone thinks.
Too much presuming. The agreement could be any period or even until mutually agreed. I wouldn't hold your breath!
That's not true either. You can agree a penalty clause if one side breaches. Having to show financial loss isn't always right. More assumptions. Unless anyone has read the contract?
