Since the PL didn't announce that anyone failed this one, it's probably happened before and been kept quiet after the necessary changes were made to see a consortium pass it the second time around.
Quite possibly.

You're presuming the comment was made.
I don't think it was, it's just another lie.
Wouldn't make any difference with some.
A full written apology, change of name on social media and the reintroduction of concessions wouldnt move some. Notably directors of the Trust and some members.
Shame some can be so intransigent really.
I'd welcome it too. But as stated in this thread, no one is prepared to forgive and move on. So why would the Allams bother?I really don't think this is the case at all.
I personally would welcome it, whilst also simultaneously spilling my capuccino all over myself in shock, sustaining significant burns, but feeling nothing in the elation. People would love for those things to happen.
But back to reality, the chance of it is frankly non-existent. And that's the problem with raising one's hopes about 'olive branches'. In a way I admire the optimism of those folks, but it's a dead-end route and a waste of breath. I'd be staggered if anyone believing in an 'olive branch' would be granted an audience with the owners, yet if they really believe they could do a lot better than the Trust (as it sounds like they do) then they should go for it and prove all us naysayers wrong.
Can't see it though.

We ought to introduce a dislike button for **** like this.Wouldn't make any difference with some.

Strange how the Chinese wanted us and are now buying another club. Whats Grieve doing now?There's no evidence that Chien Lee has got any actual cash and would be better for the club?
You mean apart from the fact that he's got a net worth of £1.2b and has been a brilliant owner at OGC Nice?
Peter Grieve walked away from a deal with us, having had an agreed price reneged on three times, the failure of that deal had absolutely nothing to do with its funding.
Would you engage with the Chair of the Trust if he called your Dad a **** on social media??You don't half post some ridiculous bollocks.
The Trust posted an open letter to Ehab in August 2015, imploring him to put the name change behind us and engage in open dialogue with the fans. They've regularly made that offer again since and I'm sure it will be reiterated in response to this article.
It will be ignored.
Looks like we're in the minority sadly.Sounds like there's a clutch of people on here who see a glimmer of light though, so what's stopping them have a crack where the Trust haven't made headway? I think they have to do something if they really believe it - grab this sudden branch! I can't see it personally but I'd love to be wrong.
And I'd definitely forgive the owners if they did as you posted, and I think 99% of fans would as well, thankful to be able to put all this to bed finally. But do you really think there's a chance of it though? If so, go for it.
Considering we've been told quite categorically in this thread that theres no compromise from either side, the only option open is for the Allams to go, regardless of what they do or say, that's a hugely ironic statement and a sad state of affairs.A conversation requires both parties to listen to each other.
Would EA actually listen? I think he is only programmed to send and not to receive.
I do not think he understands the meaning of compromise.

You know what happened, and he will have been made aware.The chair of the Trust hasn't called him a **** on social media, so it's not relevant.
Looks like we're in the minority sadly.
If we even exist.
Hard to tell.
Anyhoo, I still would like to see the Trust lead this, it's meant to be their raison d'etre, and I have nothing but admiration for Geoff, who is a sensible and likeable soul without the chips on his shoulders that others have.

The Trust took a long time to rectify that. Too long.

If he was any sort of businessman trying to run a business which employed people he would try, and keep trying, to make us listen. He would be in constant communication to make sure that the business he runs (Hull City AFC) is seen in the best light and everyone understands what is going on. The problem is he has no intention of communicating because he cannot be bothered or he does not know how to. He is an absolute twat and certainly no businessman. His father must be really worried as to what will happen to his business once he has gone.
I fear his idea of communication is 'I am in charge, therefore I talk and you listen, I command and you do'
Whatever happened to the Fans Liaison Group ?
Is that consigned to history ?
