    Isn't the man behind mkm in his 70s? Seems a stretch that he'd want the hassle and a quick way to lose his money at his age?

    I work in the industry and there's literally no way MKM and its owners will be buying Hull City.

    I'm not shooting the messenger but this is not going to happen.

    Unless it does, then I will eat my hat, just in case.

    But it's not.

    Mumble.

    He's 73, but the company MKM is worth a hell of a lot(I think he's worth about £80m personally) and it'd probably be his directors running it. Handily, there's a lot of them in the local area.

    If nothing else, he is a local bloke. But then I guess so is Ehab and that didn't turn out so great. We've been stung before, the trust is gone.

    Travis Perkins and British Steam Services are massive compared to MKM. I don't think they've bought a football club yet.

    Buying a football club right now by MKM would be a huge leap of faith.

    But stranger things have happened.

    It’s likely that the next owner of Hull City won’t be local, all the links with local businessmen so far have been nonsense.

    He’d certainly give his first, his last, his everything.

    I've just surfaced this morning but can't remember the names involved. This quite respectable 40 something year old bloke said they were definitely interested at the right price.

    Incidently how long did they sponsor the South Stand for and what sort of cash does that take?

    MKM? Makes sense for the re-building job that needs doing.

    Neither of which are MKM are they?
    Friends but not business partners I don’t think

    (Did you mean Bonus Electrical?)

    None of the mentioned have anywhere near the financial clout to own a football club...they could probably buy us, but actually running us and making us competitive is a no go imo

    There's always that, but potential for to many chiefs and not enough Indians. ...but let's just get rid of the ****s In charge first and cross any other bridges when we need to

    I was given 4 names of which 2 had connections to MKM at director level. Mr Boanus was also mentioned and A.N. Other who might have been Mr.Jones of Jones Electrical.

    My only regret was that I didn't listen acutely due to being slightly pissed after celebrating yesterdays win.

    A consortium would be the logical answer but who knows? I'm only telling you what I heard.

    Does this make me a bad person?:emoticon-0101-sadsm
