The abuse his son received are we assuming this was done by adults or was it fellow teenagers from his school?
Teenagers can be vicious and online bullying is rife.

Yes the relationship (or lack of) between the Allams and almost all other stakeholders has been depressingly antagonistic and damaging.
You aren't wrong, I'm glad I'm not a kid in this day and age
Looks like everyone has missed the bit where Burnsy has offered to meet and to try and find a compromise but was turned down.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who the manager is, the club in its current state is destined to fail. Tactics and team selections and player management are the most superficial layer floating on top of a rotting cesspit, you can change those things as much as you like but the stench underneath will always escape and foul the new surface.
It goes much deeper than lack of spending right down to the poisoned heart of the club. The lack of fans, the subduing of any passion around the club, the complete lack of any sort of feel good factor. There is no buzz, there can be no momentum.
At least Grant calls it how it is, not like that fat bullshitter Steve Bruce who would still be telling us all “well if it wasn’t for the Allams then I wouldn’t be here, me me me, it’s not fair that you’re bullying me, please don’t call me a fat cabbage it hurts my feels”
Grant knows the fans aren’t happy, the message is and was already clear. In fact dissent from the stands is more likely to cause Ehab to dig his heels in and hold out with McCann to ‘prove us all wrong’ and show us that his big business background knows best and always shows through.
So let’s just make the best of a bad situation and get on with it and support the team.

Exactly.
We are all commenting on something we know absolutely nothing about (who said stuff, what they said, why they said it, ....).
We all agree on-line abuse is wrong. That isn't under question.
I still think McCann was wrong to bring it into the open. If anything it just plays into the hands of the person (or persons) doing it.
If it's supporters, let the club or the police sort it.
It strikes me as naiveity and / or looking for sympathy or deflection.
It doesn't detract from the fact that McCann's record in the Championship is absolutely abysmal and yet he continues to appear to kid himself and us that things are actually ok with his ridiculous comments. What do people expect is going to happen? Of course he's going to get torn into, from fans, media, his kids school mates, whoever. That's just how it is (not that crossing a line is right; it of course isn't).
He's not helping himself one bit, and the Allams are not helping him one bit either.

I know you are a wind up merchant .... but come on, when and how has Grant 'called it how it is'?!?
I agree with the base point (that it stems from rotten ownership), but let's not forget McCann has had chance to bring in near a full squad of his own players, albeit on a budget, and has had some really promising youth coming through. He has failed miserably so far in this division (twice) and is spouting absolute bollocks.
He’s defending his choice to stick to his guns, rightly or wrongly. At least he’s not a condescending prick telling us how privileged ‘little old Hull’ should feel that he’s gracing the club with his presence purely because of the Allams money.
I agree that targeting his son is totally out of order. I don't agree that chanting 'sacked in the morning' is totally out of order.
I think Burnsey asked the questions I wanted to ask. He is a journo. He may have an ego. I don't care. He does a good job as far as I am concerned , and him being denied access proves to me he is/was doing the right thing asking the right questions.
My club is a ****ing joke
Out of order, no. Unhelpful in the last 20 mins, yes. When you're chasing an equaliser and you see the players heads drop isn't exactly going to inspire them either.
Yeh like a rock hard cow pat..poke it with a stick and it’s soft and stinking underneath….sums it all up..,!
Burns asks the right questions of the manager. If him and Ehab don't like it I say **** 'em. He asks/asked the questions I want answering.
I recall Ehab was quick enough to seek an interview with him in order to provide a platform when he wanted to spout the shyte he comes out with. I sincerely hope Allam is never offered the opportunity to be interviewed on radio Humberside again.
Absolute joke of a club, owner, manager/head coach.
This isn't about personalities. This is the club censoring any perceived negativity regarding the crap we have to watch served up week after week.
We are never going to score enough goals to win a match the way we set up or play.
If the players think Burns is a negative influence they need to get a grip, man up and turn the formation and performances into positive results.
If they prove me wrong, I will acknowledge I don't know what I am talking about. Don't expect it to happen though.
If the players can't handle Burns's ironic comments during commentary then it's a bloody good job they can't hear what's being said in the stands....
You don't like the owners and their media control?
Why does this make us an 'absolute joke of a club'?
Suggest you take a look no further than Derby if you want to see what a joke club looks like
