He makes good points at the start, the stuff on the pitch of course has never been a problem to most people. He can't be faulted on that. The name stuff is so tenuous though that it becomes laughable. Explaining it like he did should convince no one, and that's where the problems started. One big mistake, perhaps in good faith, never scrapped when it should have been. It would have been easy to bin it at the start, and everyone would have moved on. To persist and arrogantly dig in was what started the rot, and a terminal decline in relations across the board. Simple. Thanks for a lot of stuff, but it's definitely time for a change and I look forward to it.
Watched it and felt my bowels rumbling. He still persists with his lies about the name change, saying it is Hull City locally, but Hull Tigers globally. Why does the local club office say 'Hull City Tigers' above the door? Why no mention of any name on the programme? Why the ****ish emails to us local fans using this quisling name? Self-deception added to the sad list of character defects? I was touching cloth long before the end and had to move rapidly to expel a stool at high velocity.
I still don't believe changing the name would have made any difference ! Other teams survive just on the Sky money and get less gates than us. We wouldn't have got one more pound as the Hull Bloody Tigers !
Watched it. Aside from not knowing we have been called "Hull City Associate Football Club Tigers Limited" for 100 years (apparently), I actually do feel sorry for Assem Allam (bear with me). He's clearly delusional and as I've said many times before, he bears big signs of dementia. I also thought he looked much thinner in the face, which is never a good sign. I hate what he did to my club but I can't wish ill health on an old man regardless. I hope he has a quiet and restful retirement with his family and stays well away from HULL CITY AFC.
He did well initially, then completely ****ed it up with the name change fiasco and other such bollocks. It could have been very different for the Allam family and Hull City. Any good work they did do is now completely lost in the mess they are leaving behind. I only hope the new owners unravel the stench they have left behind.
They make me want to puke. My everlasting memory of their time in charge will be turning Hull City fans against Hull City fans. I never thought I would be booed by fellow fans for singing a song in support of the team. Success on the pitch can never justify this. I can't wait to go back to the KC when they've gone and be able to breathe clean air once again.
Haven't read more than the last page so not sure what you're on about specifically but, how should anyone on here have known well... anything about the Chinese consortium? As far as I'm aware, no one on here made bold promises about only selling to a good home and kept us in limbo for two years under that false pretense.
Just comparing this to the thread with news of the news it could have fallen through, where some people make the opposite claim to one you've just made.
And until the proper tests are done how the hell are the allams to know if the chinese would pass them all until they have been done,so it seems if this takeover has failed because of the last test then the Allams are not selling to a bad home are they. And no doubt will continue to find someone who will pass the test,so they have not broken their promise on that one at least have they.
If they couldn't possibly know how good the owners are then they shouldn't have smugly boasted that they would be able to know, and turned away other bidders on that basis leaving the whole club in limbo. Yet again it just shows they're dishonest as ****. It was quite obvious the whole good home thing was bullshit from day one anyway.
