New owner confirmed…

With you on that one.

 

HDM Live blog is running a poll.

Which Hull City takeover bid would you prefer?
Paul Duffen and the Saudi money
or
Crowdfunded bid involving fans

Duffen is winning by a landslide.

 

Of course that assumes there is some Saudi money. Am I the only one sceptical about that?

 

I would hope not

 

Love it.
It's in

 

Whichever one can happen quickly and Ehab is least likely to **** up potential negotiations.

 

A genuine one.

 

I agree !!
Saudi money plus a former chairman who was once public enemy number 1.
It just shows the desperation that prevails now !! With the excitement at this prospect !!

 

I doubt there's one single City fan who isn't sceptical about that.

 

Hands up who didn't see that coming

 

I knew you'd say that

 

Hopefully Duffen has learnt from his mistakes and As we know Arabs are very careful with there cash I suspect Duffen won’t be able to do what he did last time Bartlett gave him to much space

 

Some appear to be a bit too ready to accept it as a possibility.

 

I suppose it is a possibility, however unlikely.

 

Yes, I used to imagine the possibility of returning home after a Saturday night celebrating my pools jackpot to find Julie Christie laying there eagerly awaiting. Unlikely but it was a possibility.

 

I'd like to class myself as a professional & educated guy who has a few investments......however, what the **** is that brochure all about???

Its almost created to be complicated, non transparent & sucker everyone in. Classic ponzi scheme i bet. What a load of bollocks!!

 

Imagine if 50p share

Is it likely to be unlikely? Or is it likely that Ehab will **** it up to make it unlikely that there’ll be a takeover. Or is it unlikely to happen anyway. All scenarios are likely to be unlikely.

 

I don' t welcome this. The late timing is awful and more likely to drag things out. If the Allams delay to see if money can be raised, Duffens backers may walk away as happened previously when we lost a USA investor after the owners dawdled and entertained the Chinese.
I don't believe enough crowdfunding money would be raised to get a seat on the board. Didn't Ebbsfleet once have crowd funding and it didn't give them any long term stability that a league or fans would want?
The only thing this move could do is force those behind Duffen to /pay more and therefore reduce any potential future budget to save us from league one.
Looking at current voting on HDM website Duffen has 84% support so I think my concerns are shared by the majority of fans.

 

Yet the puzzling thing is, Geoff Bielby is supporting it.

That’s the thing I can’t get my head round because he genuinely is a top bloke, Hull City through and through and is nobody’s fool. Ffs he even got me signed up to HCST, when I met PLT to watch a game. Who saw that coming?

Need more details from him before I make a decision on my views for this.

 

I wasn’t very impressed for the same reason. Maybe these bitcoin miners speak a different language
