I'm not attempting to deflect anything. I'm just sick to death of it all. Burnys doing it to death on RH at mo and with a new Premier League almost upon us the whole atmosphere surrounding the club resembles a funeral wake. We are in danger of talking us down before a ball has been kicked.
That is very true and the muppets responsible are the Allams. The atmosphere round the club I would suggest is toxic and will remain so while these muppets remain in charge. I fear more for the existence of this club than at anytime in it's history. It has come back from the brink many times but I fear under these muppets it will be once to much.
 
Getting rid of someone not on the books, who you don't have to pay NI contributions for, pensions contributions, holiday pay etc doesn't save money which suggests government cuts and saving money wasn't the reason.
Someone has to pay for these coaches. The council was paying through subsidies which due to cuts from central government have had to be axed.
 
Burnsey is now saying that the Allams decided late on that the sale wouldn't include the SMC.

So they wanted to sell a football club but not the ground they play in (In relative terms) for £100M. I hope the Americans told them to **** off.

Sometimes it's not just greed that drives a change to terms, it's the perception of power that it brings.

Does my head in that people still defend the Airco thing. It was a disgrace. It was in no way comparable to other organisations cutting costs. This wasn't a cost cutting exercise. It was simply taking something that didn't belong to them. The Airco arena doesn't and never has belonged to the Allams, Allamhouse or Hull City. They took a communal facility that the taxpayer paid for, kicked everyone out and made it for their own private use. How they managed to get away with it legally is perplexing, but that's what they always do.

On top of that, the council made serious efforts to provide other options to achieve what the Allams wanted to achieve but without the theft of the Airco. They didn't have to do that, but they did it to try and resolve the situation. Ehab deliberately avoided taking one of those amicable options and this is documented in letters available publicly.

How the **** can anyone defend it?

Yes we're all sick of this situation, but blaming the fans for that is what the Allams want and it's completely wrong. The only people responsible for the negativity around the club are the Allams.
 
I did mention earlier that the ownership of the SMC could have a bearing on the sale. Its now massively ironic that they value the mill stone that they were prepared to give away for nothing at 6 million now.

And here was me thinking that the sticking point was the £20m (probably) value that they'd put on goodwill for the branding of Hull Tigers.
 
meaning what ? you've no reply ?
If you were buying a house for £100k and you wanted that house, would you walk away if the buyers said they also wanted £6k for fixtures and fittings ?
Equate that to a £100m deal and then tell me that Burnys is expecting us to swallow about the SMC is the real reason. Also for the record Hull City and the SMC are two seperate companies.
Never mind the rhetoricals, learn to spell. Have Quill teach Ya.!

I have been a pass holder for 42 years now and a regular reader of this sites posts ( and others ) but have only ever posted a couple of comments, but after today’s news about the takeover I feel I need a rant in public
After years of seeing city struggle , from the coffin march then been locked out ,fish out and watching city play awful football you always had moments that kept you going back.
Alan fettis goal in front of bunkers, Ian Ashbee`s goal at Yeovil, just a couple
If you was a city fan in the 80s & 90s people took the pi** I always remember been ridiculed for the headlines in the paper MIKE SMITH SAYS NOTHING after city getting stuffed one match, but you took it ,as deep down you just knew one day it would get better.
Now we are here back in the premier league, I know not all people like the thought of getting beat most games but personally I love been in the premiership. But after today`s revelations its not people taking the pi**, it`s the anger that after all these years of been MY club its not now , it feels like im just another direct debit number. To put it bluntly i`m well and truly PISSED off and feel let down.
 
What's todays revelation?

That our one true saviour will come in the dawn, holding an olive branch in one hand, a sword of fire in the other and a WAD of cash in his mouth; if we accept HIM to be the Son, the Spirit and the allmighty, to swear loyal allegiance until death for HIS membership scheme, HIS Airco arena, HIS club and HIS city, which must be known as a GIFT to the citizens of the land, then yours shall be the earth, the oceans, the stars and the love for ever and ever until the end of days or completion of SALE following due diligence and holy sacrifice.. Woe betide those who question HIS all-knowing, all-loving, all-giving nature as sweet and innocent as a lamb, HE shall lead US (not America) into the garden of Eden, the Gates of Jerusalem and the THEATRE OF DREAMS, swans and blue-tits shall sing HIS name.and CTWD at 19.04. He is Ehab the Annointed, the humble and most beloved SON of Assam.. HE the benevolent, the ruler and the beneficiant..

Bow down!!
