I am just trying to point out how clueless they are in football terms, they admitted in the interview they had just heard that name. I choose to believe they were not quite telling the truth, just smudging it a bit, it was never a case of here is x amount of money now spend it. There were other conditions attached or something. Hopefully we will get to hear Nick's side of it one day. I have had a gut feeling for a long time that the Allams are not as honest and trustworthy as they would have us believe no matter how much money they have put in.
Perhaps a good thing the Allam family didn't find it difficult to support the club and put in £50 milliion. Without that there would be no Hull City to support or Manage. I too think this situation was not well handled, but now is the time to move on and continue to support the club.
i don't agree that because they put the money in they have carte blanche to behave however they want. The trouble is though we are stuck with them and are going to have to hope for the best.
People seem to forget that Barmby said he was happy with his squad and that the right transfer targets were not there for him, Barmby said that he had confidence in the strikers to score goals which they hadn't done all season, (with the exception of Fryatt). Barmby decided not to buy, Barmby then opened his voice- thisis not the fault of the Allams. I am sad that NB has gone and it could of been dealt with a lot better but people are leting emotion cloud the facts. IS it the fact that Barmby has gone or the way it was handled that people are upset about. No Allams, no Hull City....simple as.
Given the choice with the wages we pay each month and the loss from this season I would rather lose Nicky B and Adam P then lose the Allams . To me that would be an end to our hopes for the club .
I am questioning your support also. What a massive over reaction, not just from you but alot on here. Although Nick is a legend he did not do a great job. At one stage we were 3 points of an auto place, ended up 20 points off, we were clearly in the playoffs with points to spare, we failed by 7 points, we were only 7 points above 15th place, we could not score enough but had a fantastic base of a great defence, but even that went to pot and we did not keep a clean sheet for the last 10 games. You might not agree with the way it was done or the reasons given but you can not argue that the right call has been made. To stop supporting the club because of this as far as I am concerned is disgusting, you support Hull City, yes Hull City not Nick Barmby. It will be fun to watch you outside Nicks house on a Saturday at 3pm singing "he's one of our own". Do you want his address?
Reading about the owner of Hull City and the current situation leads me to believe he is from the Samuel Goldwyn school of leadership. Quote from Mr Goldwyn " I don't want any yes men around me . I want everyone to tell me the truth- even if it costs him his job"
I thought he did a great job personally. It's all about opinions though isn't it. To think Nicky had somebody elses squad of players and was thrown in at the deep end, then I think your criticism is very harsh. They are talking about the likes of Lee Clark being brought in as manager, do you think he would do a better job than Nicky?
He was sacked because, in his employers opinion, he made comments to the media that discredited him. NB was subject to disciplinary proceedings after making those comments which resulted in him being sacked. Whether or not you agree with the employers that the comments discredited them or not, as employer they are entitled to sack their employee. It seems that as a result of NB's comments to the media the Allams have been discredited in the eyes of you and others as I've seen comments that the Allams cannot now be believed, people will not go to the KC whilst they are in charge etc... Does that not suggest that the Allams were entitled to take the action they did?
If Nicky wins his appeal then it will prove that they weren't. To be honest it won't get that far though will it, they will pay him off.
I don't understand why the Huddersfield fans don't like him, not a good sign for our bunch of fickle followers is it if he was not liked by his own fans.
Your right regards the opinions bit, thats why I like this board. Nicky was part of the other mans squad and he liked what he had. Thats why he didnt really change much. I agree he was thrown in to early and I believe he wasnt ready, not just for football management but management in general. As has been mentioned previously, from shop floor to management is a massive leap. I would be happy with Billy Davies ot Micky Mac as the new manager. I think we need someone of experience of the division to get us out of it. Jason Roberts has been quoted to say he could not believe how hard the division is. Thats why the experience is needed. I believe that Clarke would get us relegated within 2 years. As a curve ball, Paul Mckenna would be a good person to have buy your side, having spent over a decade playing in the championship his knowledge would be unrivalled. Welcolme to the Board Nishy 2012
You cannot be sacked for simply slagging off your boss. The Allams are going to pay a heavy price for the end of Adam Pearson and Nick Barmby. The Allams need to grow some balls for starters. Ehab should have been the one to get the sack for his lack of football knowledge alone. imo, the owners should have waited until next summer before taking any action. A great chance of automatic promotion next season has now been lossed thanks to the events of the past week.
I suspect that the disciplinary was handled by EA (as he gave the press release). If so, I think any appeal would be considered by AA. It's not likely to succeed. The Allams didn't pay up when JB appealed (or tried to appeal out of time) so there is nothing to suggest that they will in this case?
Cheers! Maybe he was chucked in a bit too soon. Still think it's a shame that he wasn't given a chance to progress though and the players seem disappointed from the few bit and bobs I've seen about their reaction. Cooper was getting a run in the team under Nicky for starters and showing he could play a bit, would be a shame if a new guy comes in with no rapport with the club. Barmby was with us for 8 years and that continuity is broken now. Not going to bang on about it anymore, writing on here helped get it off my chest though.
