    It looks like it's coming to a close? Do you know something I don't?

    The Allam reign looks like it’s coming to a close? Do you know something we don’t?

    No, I know nothing.

    My best guess: the longer they leave a sale the lower Hull City AFC is worth. The big profits made over the past few years have a limited shelf life and will become worthless in a few years. The attendances will continue to fall unless we have a sustained period of success. With no investment we'll be relying on more League 1 players than championship or Premier League players and the cycle of decline continues.

    Assem Allam is getting older and the decision on keeping Hull City will eventually pass to the family. Will they want to keep Hull City for the next ten or twenty years? My gut feeling is no.

    Who knows?

    I doubt they will be what the fans would like or consider to be most pressing.


    Would be nice to see a Tiger Cola re-launch in 3 separate flavours: orange, energy version with taurine and no cal sugar free taurine version.

    Also proper fucntioning wifi

    A kestrel-petting corner

    A club musuem

    A club open day

    That ****ing gate removed.

    Improved matchday programme

    No Steve Jordan

    Stadium refurb especially visually from outside.

    Events outside the stadium on matchday

    Compulsory face painting for away fans

    Re-introduction of 'Tiger Rag'

    A proper club ambassador figure like Johnny Whitely is/was for Hull

    In reality, I expect to see virtually no change when new owners come in

    See urika peece's posts on football club owners and how they invest their money.

    Talking to the fans and not treating them like ****, would be a start. I think incoming owners would care about gate receipts

    Not messing around, and just as well, following from Jack Hobbs, Bolton have signed another 9 players today. Wonder if that's a record number for one day.

    I noticed their number of signings today.
    What a difference a couple of weeks makes.

    Meanwhile, while the staff weren't getting paid - 'Steve Dale, the owner of Bury, has received payments of more than £115,000 from the stricken football club’s accounts since the start of the year, according to documents seen by The Times'.

    Decent return on his investment of a £1!

    The Allams will be in contact with him for advice as that is the sort of returns that they would like.
