    Is anyone keeping a count of the number of buyers who have pulled out?

    The Allam's would have increased the asking price to $2.2 billion if you'd shown any interest elle . FACT.:emoticon-0100-smile

    They were probably our best bet. The other group are our next best, the ones that held the press conference.

    Pretty sure Chien Lee was the 'preferred buyer' according to Burnsy's sources.

    The more I think about this, the more that I think that it may be a ploy by a savvy potential buyer to see if the Allam's blink.

    *heads off to buy some more straws to clutch*

    I think the group who made the 130m offer should be the one to pull out, if the Allams want their 120-130m, they might re-think things if the one tangible offer on the table gets pulled.

    Nice guys finish last (except when they pull out before the climax).

    What is it going to take for people to cancel their memberships?

    Serious question.

    Im not buying a kit again until they leave. I didnt buy one last season nor any tshirts. I normally buy at least one kit sometimes two and a couple shirts. Its my way of supporting the club financially but I decided I couldnt do it anymore until they left.

    What about memberships, or indeed any corporate tickets? It's the most direct way we can hit them and it takes 2 minutes to arrange.

    This is exactly where any future protests should be going, not action directed at corporate partners but an emphasis on the impact on the community and why their support of the Allams is unacceptable....

    Instead of Allam directed protests during the game some of action or chant to shame corporate sponsors?

    I wasn't thinking of corporate sponsors, but people who have paid for corporate seats and continue to line the owners pockets while criticising them.

    They're just season pass holders like everyone else, I've no idea why you're obsessed with singling them out, other than the fact that they include me.

    We could use the forum members to try Darren Browns lottery prediction trick.

    <laugh> Yes it's all about you.

    I didn't 'single them out', I originally said memberships but then didn't want to exclude people on non-standard memberships. I essentially meant anyone who currently contributes to Allams' pockets.

    The Allams are unshameable, and have deep enough pockets to see City playing in front of an empty stadium no problem. It's fantasy that some form of boycott will hurt them financially. It might make the boycotters feel better but it won't have it's intended effect.
    They don't give interviews and are therefore accountable to no one.
