    Certainly can't disagree with this.

    He was a poster on CI years ago. He was always going on about the pie forks.

    Not been funny but as a trust I think you have well and truly burnt your bridges with the club and can't see anyway back.

    I said at the time that AA's comments about "die when they want " was taken extremely personally by my wife. I even spoke at length to James Mooney regarding this and he was very apologetic on AA's behalf. I'm not trying to regurgitate the past, just pointing out that both sides need to put the club first, and the owners working in conjunction with fans is the best way forward.

    I think I missed the hip flask saga. Could I have a recap and what is wrong with the guy? Not sure about the demands also. I would in my mind have been better to suggest they work together to build the Hull City brand and identity. Good work non the less.

    On reflection, HCST should be applauded for making the first steps towards reconciliation.

    I don't wanna be a killjoy but there is more chance of TWS winning the championship this year than there is of Allam working with the fans.
    The guy is a dictator and is not open to discussion or compromise.

    After the first FA decision, a friend of Mark Gretton's bought him a hip flask with a rather insulting message on it, it upset some people.

    Assem Allam bought Mark Gretton a hip flask filled with piss for his birthday, and engraved it with the message "Gretton Is A ****", for a laugh cos they're mates, and then Ehab got sad.

    Or something like that. I sometimes get details wrong.

    You're welcome.

    You were being sensible and refraining from nonsense, then this.

    No they really weren't. There's no context in which his comments could be seen as acceptable or reasonable.

    MG didn't make any comments, he posted a picture of a gift he was bought which said "**** you Allam. ****." Even if it was him saying it, that's a quick ****off in the direction of someone who deserved it. That's very different from labelling thousands of people hooligans, militants, troublesome and everything else, over a two year period and in various interviews. Most importantly, he was completely unjustified in saying it, which can't be said of Gretton.

    Not the old "words taken out of context" dodge.

    It wouldn't hold up in a court of law.

    Both parties at fault but Gretton's was worse because it was written and planned.

    We all know Papa Allam talks bollocks but his ramblings are off the cuff.

    Though not by him, which seems a little lost on some.

    It was only a joke ffs.

    So it's okay for you and committee members to hurl far worse abuse in their direction on a public forum because, in your opinion, he started it?

    Is that really a good basis to start discussions?


    Is a sensible, mature approach like offering an apology and retraction perhaps a first step?
