    It's not about the pissing the fans off - to the Allams, ALL Hull City fans whether they're supporters/watchers/brown nosing arse lickers, they're all the same, all equally irrelevant. Hull City has become a means of them getting their investment/loan back and as much profit on top as they can make. The opinions of the fans and media count for nothing, they never have. Anyone thinking otherwise need their bumps read.

    Not with the **** they believe fans have given them,i happen to think they are spiteful enough to do this and keep stringing everyone along to piss them off.

    They will be getting a large chunk of there money back from the money the club gets,i do not believe selling is that important to them as they know they will make at least all the debt they have with the club back.

    They are the type of people who will take the fans protests as being personal against them they like to be obstructive it keeps them in the news and they love it and they know you don't.

    I think you need to cool down on the "Arabs" thing greeny.

    They're doing exactly what you would do in their shoes. Get as much as they can for thething they're selling.
    Which is why it isnt over.

    That sucks! That's two of us who haven't won it again. I haven't actually bought a ticket for several months, though.

    So unless we really are in the dark & the yanks haven't offered nowhere near the asking price? Why haven't they sold?

    I did hope OLM would reply, as he appears to know something? If the yanks are cheesed off I expect some comment

    If the Americans have walked away, it's over. They were the only ones with a firm bid in.

    I presume OLM says what he can when he can ... How can he say more? Not having a go at you, but i guess that's how it is.

    I've no idea if Peter Grieve plans to say anything or not.

    A £30m profit not enough then?

    You seem to think they're a pair a business geniuses, yet much of what they've done has reduced revenue, attendances are down, merchandise sales are down and the majority of their customers hate them.

    They may be good at making generators, but they've made many appalling decisions while running a football club, one of the biggest was on Thursday.

    £30 million obviously isnt to them. You seem to think it should be. They dont.
    Attendance was down on last time in the Championship but the prices went up so they did make more money for a Championship season. **** but true.
    Are merchandise sales down? It seemed to me the last few years shirt sales have been good.

    Yes the fans hate them. Not sure how many. The membership has really turned a lot against them.

    If they are gone then they won't return. This is the right time for a purchase, to **** about further is not sensible on any level. We are stuck with the, Allams, it was always to be. What a ****ing travesty. I'll be amazed if anyone has any inclination for another campaign against them and, to be honest, I wouldn't blame them.

    I like Assem Allam.

    He's a top class WUM.

    Best in the business.

    So let me get this right......
    Are we saying the talks being put off to September is rubbish and they have had enough of the Allams?? No hope of been continued?

    I am in the huge majority hoping to wake up in morning to read the talks are concluding and we are now sold..........

    Seems to be so at the minute. Let's hope someone from either party bridges that gap come September and the deal ends up back on. Can't imagine the Allams initiating with the Americans though... it'll have to be down to them.

    Their main business made a profit of 7m or something similar last year. 30m is significant to them.

    It happens all the time, in the Strange World of the plutocrats. Pluto manipulates his way to a fortune sufficient to maintain his downline for decades. Then Goofy comes along, with a deficiency of the upline genes, and has a need to show his worth when, unfortunately for his family, and tens of thousands of us plebs, he's just utterly worthless. ' Twas always thus. We've got Mickey Mouse, big-ears Charlie-boy as a prime example. Will Assem outlive HM QEII?
