I'd love Hull City to be in the Prem again. I really would love to be there, enjoying the football and the whole spectacle that comes with a Premier League game. But i wouldn't, and won't be there under the current Allam regime. Hence I hope City fail in the play offs and stay in the Championship, whatever that may bring. I'd like to see what comes of the new membership scheme as i believe it lies solely on City getting promotion (egg counting Mr Allam?). And I'd also like to see what the Allams next move is. Some will say I'm talking ****e as they won't go unless they sell and recoup their cash and the only way they'll do this is by being in the Prem. And that's fair enough. But City might have been destined for the Prem had they not released their ill judged and ill timed membership scheme. How many balls are they gonna drop for kin sake? But bollocks to the Allams. They won't sell if City anyway if they get to the Prem as it gets in the way of their misplaced pride. Anything that stands in their way is good. The FA, us fans and staying in the second division. Bruce seems pissed off, the players seem pissed off and the fans are either being ****ed over once again or fighting with each other. So I hope Hull City stay in the Championship. And hope, given the membership scheme, we now all agree on one thing: ALLAMS OUT! I expect to be called a wum, **** and prick for this post
Ps as i can no longer log on in on my lappy, must be ad block, my posts look ****. On phone they are nice paragraphs. On the website they're just lines and lines and lines...
Yes. And it's worth noting, the only way the Allams will leave is when selling a Premier League club as it'll be worth more.
This is one of the points i was trying to make. I don't think they'll sell if City get to the Prem. They'll just enforce their new membership scheme. If City stay in the championship, the drop in attendance should be alarming to them. So maybe they will push off at some future point and not be arseholes to the fans as they constantly are. In a nutshell, if City get promoted to the Prem, the Allams will NOT sell the club. And their membership shambles will surely become reality.
They're not selling anyway IMO. Any potential buyer would rather invest in a PL club than one in the championship. If we don't go up we are stuck with the Allams. If we go up, they might sell but I'm not holding my breath.
To be fair I'm not making myself that clear ha. What I'm saying is that if City stay in the Championship for next season, the drop in attendance and hopeful scrapping of the membership scheme will make the Allams want to go for sure. That would mean a push for the Prem and when City get there, they could then nob off. However, if City do go up this season they WILL implement their crazy membership scheme and WILL NOT sell the club. Then we WILL be stuck with them and they'll still keep calling the club Hull City Tigers or Hull Tigers. I think staying down will be a slap in their obtuse faces. Then they may actually put the club up for sale and for real .
They're so stubborn, they'd bite off their nose to spite their face. Which would probably result in them selling off the squad to fill the gap in funds from lost fans, rather than not implement their terrible membership scheme idea. I say get promoted, hope someone sees potential and interest to buy. If not, I think the one positive of being in the Prem and the Allams trying to get their own way is that the club is in the spotlight - a half-empty stadium in the Premier League would speak volumes and the media would actually take an interest, and put pressure on them to sort it.
I want us to hammer Derby, massacre Middlesbrough and go into the Premier League. No one knows what the Allams will do.....but unfortunately they own our club
Of course I want us to win the Play Offs. Daft question. As Cortez mentioned, anyone wanting the Allams out must surely want us to win the Play Offs too. If we don't win them the only way they'll leave the club is after running it into administration.
100% yes! If we fail this season then it might be some time before we get the opportunity to do so again!
Yes I'd like us to win the play offs. I also think we're more likely to get a new owner in the PL. Then knowing our luck it'll probably be Randy Lerner
Promotion massively increases the likelihood of a new owner, that alone should be a reason for everyone wanting it to happen.
It would be interesting if we got to the final, as things are at present we might not sell our allocation. Back to the question and I don't care if we win or not. I'm simply not interested at present and that's purely cos of The Allams.
Absolutely. A major reason is the chance to watch City live on TV for a dozen of their PL matches under current plans by my Pay TV provider, with no cost disadvantage. Only times I have seen them play on TV this season were the Arsenal FA Cup games.
