The dream for me was to keep the name and for the Allams to recognise how important Hull City AFC was to the community that gave Assem Allam sanctuary from the Nasser regime. I was naïve. That didn't happen primarily because it is Assem Allam's way or nothing. Same with the Council, the supporters, and possibly the FA, especially if he has to wine and dine them each home game. For me he stopped being a fit person to own our football club when he evicted the community from the Airco Arena to try and save a few hundred thousand pounds. He needs to get promotion to the Premier League to have any chance of getting his money back. After this season we see what happens. Nothing lasts forever.
If a couple of guys, who are up to no good, are making trouble in Allam's neighbourhood, can he move in with his Auntie and Uncle in Bel-Air?
He smashed his own windows. Somebody told him that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. As we all know, nobody tells good old Assem what he can & can't do. Obviously it's always somebody elses fault. Best to blame the irrelevent hooligans. In reality this was always going to happen. Further attempts to blacken the names of the people who dared to oppose him. The man's pride has taken a beating & he's too arrogant to accept the FA's outcome with any kind of humility. Last week he was abusing the FA, branding them "amateur", this week it's the good people of Hull & East Riding's turn to be branded abusive. The man is a total buffoon & is now best left alone to simmer in his own self pity.

According to a lot of holiday brochures, people can throw stones for considerable distances, especially if they're aiming at a beach.
If there was any physical abuse, racial abuse, or vandalism then it does need to be condemned, but I really can't see that if any of the Allam family were physically threatened, or if any vandalism was involved, they would not have been shouting to the media/Police about it. This leaves the verbal abuse they were getting - but they lived with it last year when it was probably worse, and probably not a patch on the sort of abuse DW got at Newcastle. My thoughts are that it is bollocks, and it's really him spitting his dummy out over the name change decision. Other than this thread, and a few press articles, I can't really see anyone being that bothered that he's not there after today.
The worst thing about this is if people actually do go round there and throw stones after reading about it, and justify the barmy old gits story
