It seems I'm not alone in my opinion... David Burns @bbcburnsy I feel he's angling for the Chief Exec role. #hcafc
Maybe a little OT. I think this quote from Bobby Robson should be at the forefront of any new owners mind, It should be recited by them when things start going to ****. What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.’ To me great words by a great man.
The Allams and their supporters don't champion the clubs potential for success? Tell me you typed that wrong. If not, that's unbelievable even for you. Geraghty is a master of sound bites. If you're taken in by him, you're a fool. He's just having a dig at the Allams.
It's not OTT in our case.... It should be written above the top of the east stand on the advertising hoardings in massive **** off letters! If they do anything crooked again we can all point out what a football club is about! I'd like to take my son to see City some day...maybe a day when we're all (from the owners down) moving in the same direction. ps... I don't trust Duffen based purely on those sunglasses!? WTF are those?
More than once in the past you've posted bollocks along the lines that we're only little Hull so we'll never compete with the big boys unless we change our name. Assem has said similar loads of times. Duffen used to go on about Hull being one of the biggest cities in England, Pearson talked about us getting to the Championship and one day the Premier League and nowadays you hear him banging the FC drum and saying how great their prospects look. Allam on the other hand says we've got a lousy identity, the fans are ****, the council are ****, the manager is ****, the new manager who we brought in to replace the **** one is also ****, the scouts are ****, the turnstile staff are ****, nothing will ever happen unless we do everything my way. The only thing the Allams are ever positive about is something they've done themselves.
I've just been told Jim White on the radio today said the takeover will go through in the next 48 hours. As it's not been mentioned on here, it's bollocks...
Wow, thank **** you're not in a position of authority in the Trust, responsible for social media type comms. Oh wait. FFS. That's the biggest load of ****e I've read in ages on this subject, and that's saying sommat. I'm also laughing at you seeming to be starry eyed and hanging on Duffens words. He's really not the messiah. Do not trust him. Or anything he says. Start from that point in any dealings with him and you might be alright. Oh, you also need to let go and move on. The angry young man thing was never a good look and it's just making you look daft now.
Jim White formally known as Jimmy White, well known face in snooker halls all around the country. Must be true but as Dennis has said 48 hours is a long time in this game.
Perhaps someone on here would like to identify a likely successor for the Sport and Leisure Portfolio holder role currently managed so effectively by Tez. He can't go on forever- there must be an heir apparent in the ranks of the Corbynista old Labour council being lined up. Must have experience of negotiating with travelling showmen once annually , must be either a black and white or a red and white, and most importantly,must have no experience whatsoever of similar roles in other English cities. Chip on shoulder preferred but not essential. Nominations please.
