We've already got one of the worst owners around. There really isn't anything to fear about someone else coming in.
You don't just get £75m at the end of the season, you get staged payments through the season, how do you think we're paying the £42m in wages?
A player only gets his contract paid up if it's cancelled, or if it's part of a deal where he accepts lower wages at a new club. Normally, when a player moves the new club start paying his wages and the selling club just get the fee, there's no additional money to be paid to the player.
Or a mate of Romam Abramovich will come onto the scene and the upward spiral begins. Just as far fetched as your opinion.
I consider the Allams equal with Harold N our best owners ever . If the FA say yes or no I hope the Allams Stay . Don't CTWD also have no problem with the Allams apart from the name change ?
I'm amazed to see the animosity towards AA. No matter how petty and anti-football his name change proposal is, he still saved our bacon and more. Completely gobsmacked to see how some have painted him.
I don't think anyone would have the feelings they do towards him if he had just tried to change the name. It has been his complete contempt for fans that has been upsetting for many. The things that he has said are generally patronising, arrogant, and unfounded in the opinion of many fans.
So he's a 70 + year old, pig-headed, patronising fool. Like the majority of the members on here. He still did far more positive than negative at this present time.
He has brought that on himself. Where have you been, have you not listened to his rants, threats and lies.
I'm not saying they should just give him it, but they could sell it to him at a stupid low price as it's costing them too much money. Money that would be better spent in saving the likes of Ennerdale and the parks etc.
I don't know why you have such faith in AA's 'exit strategy', Chazzman. It's my guess he'll make it up in a similar cack-handed way he has made up his name-change case (and its execution/delivery).
I think they expected the fans to put pressure on the council to do this when the name change was originally muted. Now I think there's too much pride involved. Personally I'm not sure I'd trust them with the ground at this point. I was glad when the council kept hold of the ground and at this point I still am.
Personally I think that a trait. I'd rather know he'd speak his mind and say anything he might have to say than be all smiles on the outside but staring daggers on the inside, like I guess 99.99% of other owners and managers etc. Were all big boys we can take a little bit of lip surely? We all certainly think we're big enough to dish it out, because Allam receives by far worse than he's dished out. Is that fair? Sort of voids the argument people are making whilst trying to sit their high horse on the moral ground. "Allam called me a hooligan, he's a stupid, lying, deceitful, manipulating, senile old twat and I'm taking the moral high ground because he's called me names waa waa waa" Doesn't wash.
