    No. Allam Marine's customers didn't authorise him to buy our club. That was Mr Allam's decision.

    Don't you agree, I know, I left the quotation marks off again didn't I - silly me

    "They wanted the club so they could get the ground and the land around it on the cheap. Now they can't they've got no interest in spending a bean and they want out"

    Craig in Nottingham, 2012.

    Is that better?

    Yes.

    In full

    "So it looks like our saviours have revealed their true colours. They wanted the club so they could get the ground and the land around it on the cheap.
    Now they can't they've got no interest in spending a bean and they want out.
    Why do we always get 'em? Come back Don Robinson!"

    Was listening to RH before the game and Burnsie said he had spoken to Allam this morning and Allam told him the Council has offered him the freehold of the ground but he told them he is not interested. Surprised no one else has said this. Burnsie also tweeted it.

    This too, I wouldn't lie.

    "I've been worried about the Allam's commitment to team strengthening for a while now and if this is true I think it is pretty obvious that they don't intend to spend and they don't like anyone suggesting they should."

    It isn't and is something he deserves credit for.

    <laugh> <laugh> Oh what a sad person you are.
    How long have you been trawling through my posts to find that?
    I can't be arsed to look, but I think that was when it looked like they weren't offering Barmby money for his January transfer window, so the quote is well out of context.
    However you can keep digging if you want you pathetic little weasel. <laugh> <laugh>

    It was much later than that, it was in response to a rumour that the owners may be putting the club up for sale, a similar position to we find ourselves in now, only now we're in the PL, obviously.

    Why think it means trawling through posts, it's about reading posts, subscribing to them & retaining information, it's not difficult.

    Why the change of heart regarding the owners? Is it the PL?

    Why not add a link then we can all read it in context?
    So how long have you been reading through my post history then?

    To those that want an answer I'm not going to put it on here. It may sound strange but I believe its something, at this particular moment in time, he deserves credit for. Yes I'm being serious. Despite the change of name and wishing I was dead I believe he wants the best for our club and will do whatever he can to make us successful and to remain successful.

    When we say we are pro-Allam but anti the name change we do actually mean it. Our stance is hard to maintain when he speaks, but we all want the same thing, success on the pitch and a financially viable company running the club.

    I haven't, the post can easily be found within the board.

    20 mins ago you was sure you'd not said it.

    I've updated the post you've quoted.

    Without me putting money in we might not have been in the Premier League. Every decision we make has a consequence and who knows if Bruce hadn't signed Aluko we may not have been here. There are to many variables to state we would 100% not be in the Premier League without AA.

    I thank AA whole heartedly and today was brilliant, but that doesn't mean he can do what he wants.
