Could post it a 1000x but dumb people like you still wouldn't get it! They are awful people and from a hull city POV they have been ****.....but from their own businessmen POV it's been very profitable for them! What's so hard to understand about that?
You might as well talk to yourself....some on here can't see past the allam hatred and actually be rational and see facts!
They are now in recovery mode. That’s because they let their vindictive bitterness get in the way of an excellent money making opportunity. They will make money despite their stupidity and certainly should be making much more - that’s poor business, as any shareholder would tell you when they get their dividend. They’ve ****ed up royally.
A very poor assessment. They have made it clear for long enough that they want out and preferably with as much money back as possible. The dice was thrown in terms of spending during Steve Bruce's last season in charge. Some may say they got lucky, but that is neither here nor there. Without the right result at Wembley that day it would have been a lot worse (for them and us). An opportunity arose at that point to recover the money they had invested on behalf on an ungrateful fan base and they took it. I am less convinced then you are that an annual relegation battle in the premier league is an excellent money making opportunity.
You're welcome to your opinion, although I'm not too sure what it is. A simple comparison on earned revenues might convince you, it's why none of the club's crave relegation...
Times have changed if in the PL. Some have old, unwise debt, agreed. Run it like a business that is a football club and the opportunity is excellent.
You mean like all the new state of the arts gear actually inside the training ground despite its exterior looking ramshackle, the investment in the youth academy, the indoor 4G pitch, the whopping great big cinema quality plasma screens in the away end or the new security gates and fences?
Like I have said before the fans have not always hated the Allams and welcomed them taking over and were grateful for it. What could have been a fantastic future for the club turned into a nightmare purely and simply because of the Allam's attitude to the supporters and the Council, hasn't today's farce convinced you of that? Their refusal to call us by our rightful name is unbelievably stupid and they treat the supporters with contempt. Of course people have turned against them.
Ungrateful Fanbase ??? Please tell us more !! English football fans are traditionalists and don' like their history trampled on.
Many life long, die hard Hull City fans were not grateful for the opportunity to watch the "mighty tigers" play the worlds biggest football club (Sheffield Pigs fc) at Wembley. Hence the vast banks of emptiness on the day. Missing a day at Wembley would have been unthinkable for most, if not all, in times not so long ago. Now many people will not dignify or endorse this regime by attending fixtures, no matter where they are played.
You are quite correct in saying no one has the right, but I say again if the club had been managed correctly we would and should be in a far better position that we are now. If I ran a business whereby my customer footfall had fallen by the amount it has, then my head would roll. You can defend it all you like Chazz, but with the money spent, managed correctly, we would be in a far better position than we are,
I'm not defending anything. We have no right to think in the pl we would aim for anything more than fourth from bottom. We lost fans in the second season under browny. How does that equate for you? We were bored in the second season under Brucey. Spent a lot but still got relegated. We're we mismanaged then? Three teams go down every year to think we might not be one of them was always ridiculous. The Allams, I'm not defending them by the way, was always the minnows. Lok at the money Bournemouth spent. They cost 40 million debt in the championship. Very easy to say if Look at how much debt Fulham, Bolton etc etc wrote off. Wait to see how much udders are in de t. They've already scrapped the academy cos of money issues.
You should be in bed by the way, I'm just having breakfast. The clubs you mention were managed badly, I'm saying that if the club had been managed correctly we should be in a better position than we are. Since the council refused to give AA the stadium freehold, from that day the club was going to be run for the benefit of the Allam family, and that is how it has proved to be.
From the day the club was bought, it was going to be run for the benefit of the Allam family. Gift? Pfft.
I can't see what is wrong with having ambitious hopes and expectations, whilst keeping an eye on the potential for failure and hedging your bets accordingly. That is surely good positive business management. This has all been about the Allams and their grudges. Taking down the council signs is just another example of their petulance and reeks of a future that will only get worse. There's a wall with our name on it and we seem to be going to it.
The Allams paid off the debts incurred by Bartlett. They then lent Hull City Tigers Limited an extra £40 million to develop the football club. They had a couple of business examples to follow. They could have followed Bartlett's model and buy players and hope you don't relegated. A model followed by many teams usually with the same results. Or they could have followed the example of West Bromwich Albion and built a team that could yo-yo between the divisi0ns without putting too much of a strain on the club's finances whilst they strengthened enough to be able to stay there. They choice to follow Bartlett's route with more or less the same result. Burnley followed the route taken by West Bromwich Albion and achieved a different result. However if they are relegated they will be able to afford to keep the core of the team together to have a serious bid for promotion the following season. We have no god given right to be in the Premier League which is why you build a team that you can afford in the championship and is likely to get promoted again. You could even use the Premier League profits to fund a few additions. That is what good businessmen or women do. It stops you ending up with what we have now. A team short on confidence, short of experienced players and short on results. A team with little value in the transfer market with the possible exception of Jared Bowen. The Allams have made, at most, £20 million from their ownership of Hull City. Not a great deal of money when you consider what they could have had over the next 10 years if they'd have spent the £500 million differently. Some people see the world as is, I see it as it could have been. There is very little difference between Hull City and West Bromwich Albion and Burnley except the quality of the people who own them. They are nothing special and did nothing that we couldn't have done.
No its not. It requires discipline, an eye for managerial and playing talent and a tight hold on the purse strings. The piece of piss is to try and buy success and hope for the best. Which is why so many clubs go in that direction.
As we were already 40 million in debt when they bought us the cat was already out of the bag. So you can't compare us with a burnley or WBA.
