    I listened to it last night, quite a rant for Burnsey. I thought it was funny the presenter from Bristol saying that when he was told Odemwingie was on trial with a club in our area, he assumed is was Scunny.

    That specific post wasn't (other than it being an attempt to deflect attention away from Nick's ****ty treatment by the Allams), I was referring to all the 'Yanks have no money' **** to try and justify the Allams position.

    I read that as tongue in cheek. Labelling alternative views as 'Allam apologists' doesn't really help things much, it just adds to the divisions. It's no better than labelling people as a noisy minority.

    The Allams claimed they bought the club as a gift to the people of Hull.

    Since doing so, they've gone about systematically pissing off the people of Hull.

    Last week, they had a chance to walk away with everyone happy, while making a massive profit in the process, they chose not to take that opportunity.

    That is their choice, but it dispels once and for all the 'gift' myth.

    They probably haven't sacked him due to the fact they probably could not tempt another manager to join the club and take their ****.

    Then read mine as tongue in cheek as well and there's no issue.

    Excellent. It'll hit the sales of pitchforks hard, but an alternative approach is probably needed.

    Burnsey finally lifts his head above parapet. No doubt he'll be banned.

    I believe we might see a change in approach from the HDM as well.

    Really? The website has been awash with Hull Tigers advertising recently, it would be massively unlike the HDM to turn against an income stream.

    You forgot those that used the Airco Arena, the Premier League and possibly Steve Bruce.

    Why not lay the blame for sacking the ice hockey coaches at Hull Ice Arena on them too ? That move effected loads of local kids just like the Airco Arena was supposed to have done.
    Haven't heard anyone lambasting the Council though for doing exactly the same thing.

    This is a Hull City board. We tend talk about things pertaining to the club.

    The first page of threads would tend to suggest that is not the case.

    The Airco evictions were a particularly selfish
