    I thought you had read or seen reference to the book of that title by Rachel Abbott. Read it last week and enjoyed it. Has sold over 3 million copies!

    I think you’ll find that ‘Rachel Abbott’ is Kempton’s pen name.
    He knew exactly what he was writing...he just forgot where he writing it !
    He thought he was on ‘her’ blog showing off to her 3 million fans

    Well, at least now we know, as expected, where the Allam's ambitions lie for the club. So when we are languishing in the bottom half of the table, Ehab to trot out his stock saying, we are one of the best run clubs in the EFL, we are ahead of budget. so all's good (Sorry, just been watching Twenty twelve again)

    I'll start one then.
    'Grant McCann gets a bonus if City finish in the top six'
    How many will want to believe that one ?

    I wonder how genuine info like this really is.
    Obviously daft lad and his dad should know about the 'incentive'. One or two club staff.
    On the other side obviously Grant McCann will. His agent/representative and Cliff Byrne maybe.
    Families.
    But within a few days someone has been on to Billy Big Bollocks who has blabbed to the world.
    Loose tongues sink ships, or is that football clubs?

    Given the fact we have absolutely no chance of doing that, that is entirely believable.

    Do you mean Andy, not Alan ?
    Andy wouldn't tweet stuff that ridicules the club which tells me this Alan character is a **** stirrer.

    When are they printing the article telling us that McCann has a Premier League promotion bonus written into his contract?

    I'd think the details of his contract are kept confidential don't you ?

    You can have a bonus for anything you like though , it would be perfectly reasonable to have
    a sliding scale bonus based on league position

    Yes. silly you.
    Alan Nixon tweeted about one thing, you about another. Hence my second amended post including your name not Nixon's.
    I was actually agreeing with you - it surprises me that confidential details of McCann's contract have been 'leaked' and within a matter of hours/days of him being hired.
    Maybe some are just too gullible to believe such stuff and how Nixon's reputation is enhanced.

    I posted this on June 9th 2019 - 'It has to be said, the owners do have a habit of pulling rabbits from a hat to the surprise of everyone, for example Silva and Slutsky.

    So perhaps socks might be blown off.

    They just need to master the ability to retain said rabbits, otherwise we will continue to pull our hare out'.

    Much that I dislike everything the twats have done, continue to do and will no doubt do in the future, it has to be said, that once again they seemed to have unearthed a gem in McCann. From what I've seen and read so far, he seems an impressive manager or head coach or whatever his title is and could do well this season.

    As confidential as an alleged non-relegation clause?

    No. I mean Alan Nixon, the Sun journalist who has repeatedly broken Hull City stories correctly before anyone else. Presumably he has a club source.
