David Burns @bbcburnsy 2m2 minutes ago Breaking...I hear a whisper that one member of the consortium interested in buying @HullCity is Paul Duffen. No confirmation yet. #hcafc
Duffen couldn`t organise a piss up in a brewery financially, like a kid in a chocolate factory when it comes to looking after money, in all likeliness if he gets the reins this has all the hallmarks of ending in tears again.
The phrase, "Be careful what you wish for," springs to mind! Or, "What you wish for, be careful you must!"
Tea lady - Taxi driver and shoe shine boy have been mentioned. Burnsy always looking for an angle. Seriously, I don't think any serious bid / offer will be forthcoming anytime soon. The Allam out collective wont be happy mind,
I don't think we have any need to worry whilst we're in the championship. The only reason anyone would want to buy us is for that Premier league money. Even then, we'd be a massive gamble.
what concerns me is that we are allegedly one of the favourites for promotion, we have on paper one of the strongest squads in this league, a forward thinking investor may look at us and think we are a good bet to go straight back up, thereby releasing mega wonga in the Premier League, and immediately seeing a return on their investment. Duffen has been there before and seen this (and spunked the money). Maybe just pie in the sky, but have to say it does worry me a tad letting him loose on the reins.
