While i want the terrible "two" gone asap, things could be worse, just look at the idiot running Oldham he's just banned all non season ticket holders for the next two game's , the fan's crime ,protesting against his ownership.
Could be worse I agree - but as this the Allams we are talking about that's extremely unlikely. I'd happily take that chance.
I'm a bit like you if there is any truth in this Turkish guy attempting to buy the club, I just hope the stories I've read that he wanted a say in what went on the pitch in Holland aren't true. I'm an anti Allamist, but there is a nagging doubt in my mind, if it did happen, that this might turn out to be worse than what we have. I truly hope that feeling is unfounded.
He didn’t like being a minority shareholder and objected to his choice of manager not being appointed, it’s not like he wanted to pick the team.
Being a minority owner in a football club is potentially as bad as it gets. Depending on the Director/Shareholder protection rights, you could be in a position with little or no control and someone else pissing your money down the drain. However it is whatever you sign up for, so buyer beware as they say!
Someone has checked with the EFL and apparently their guidance doesn't include not being able to take Flasks into grounds. I wonder whose forthcoming regulations the Club are trying to implement.
If he doesn't the limitations of being a minority shareholder, doesn't fill me with confidence. More likely an excuse to exit.
It's not fine. It's petty, self defeating and totally unnecessary. Just something else to piss off a tranche of support. They're supposed to be attracting fans ('customers'), not pissing them off.
I don't care too much about flasks specifically, but when the club evidently have such little capacity to get anything done, you do wonder whether their efforts could be better spent on something positive instead of trying to justify their flask ban. And that's been a theme of the last 7 years. City spend half their energy justifying and arguing rather than doing anything productive.
