I'm backing the Allams

[TygerTyger]

I'm obviously not going to post where the info comes from, but it's from more than one source and I'm 100% certain of it's accuracy. PT and I have seats near each other at the KC and we do discuss things off this board, hence the fact that both of us know what each other knows. Situations are ever changing, particularly at the moment, but the information that both of us have posted have been completely accurate at the time of posting.

Ok, thanks, I appreciate your candour. Guess we will have to wait and see what develops.

You're one of the haters. Although you're young and stupid, so I don't hold it against you. When you've been a fan for over 40 years, you might get it.

How very convenient that you decided to dig out a quote from a comment I made when it appeared extremely likely that the Allams would be selling the club.

I would issue some sort of retort, but you've already made a big enough tit out of yourself that I don't even need to try - the fact that you genuinely think I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm a wee boy who has "only" been a pass holder for 10 years says it all.

(Edit)

Don't worry this is going to be my last post here

Oh, didn't see that, tatty bye then

Now you see, that implies you know something. BUT..... we've already been told by a man on here with "inside information" that Ehab and Billy Davies are "best mates", so maybe they meet up occassionaly? Seems strange also that a middle aged man, whose best mate is a professional football club manager, and who has spent his entire life in this country, should know nothing about football. As we seem to be routinely told on here..............by one of the 30,000 "experts" in the city.

Like him or loathe him, I would still say "MadHog" has a right to an opinion.

Actually, I think it's Ehab and Darren Robinson who are best mates, Robinson knows Davies from his time at Forest, I don't think Ehab knows him very well at all.

hope Madhog sticks around. everyone's entitled to an opinion on this board and i mostly agree with what Madhog's been saying..

Don't worry this is going to be my last post here, the sanctimonious and righteous arsewipes that post here as insiders and experts are starting to irritate the hell out of me. I'd already thought of not bothering here, then this weeks "Incident" blew up and I figured this would be a good source of info.

Sadly I was wrong.

Despite trying to cast some sense into the raging arguments about the evil Allams and St Nick and St Adam, I've suffered abuse on the threads and in PMs and whilst they are mostly just funny (if I thought anyone was capable of carrying out their threats I'd report them to the police) and I'm ignoring them, I really do not need the hassle or abuse.

Theoretically we're all batting for the same team but some people seem to take great joy in just jumping on any made up bit of ****e and bashing people who without, we'd have no club. The same people who boo the players. Who think 50 million quid is nothing, whilst collecting their giro's and not knowing what it is to actually be a success. They make me sick.

My stance has been 100% the same all the way through this, and seeing as it now appears I'm right, I was aware I'd come in for more abuse.

I just wish there was a way to actually delete an account on here but Mick doesn't seem to allow that.

Have fun worshiping the wrong people, believing the liars and booing our great team, which btw, includes the players, the management, the owners and the fans.

I'm heartbroken your leaving, no honestly.

course he does, i personally think a lot of what he says has a fair point too, its the way every posts comes with a dig at other fans that becomes a bit tedious.

 

[juleskaren]

Madhog you complain that people are abusive to you, take a look at yourself, I have never collected a giro or boo'd at the players and I don't actually believe things I read in the papers or things people put on here I actually think about it, analyse it and come to my own conclusions whether you agree with them or not. You actually drive people away from these boards with your constant digging at people, just face the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion and their say without having to be ridiculed and insulted.

 

[originallambrettaman]

I'm more than happy for Madhog to stay around, jacking in taking a pop at everyone at every opportunity would be preferable, but he's certainly entitled to his opinion.

 

[The Omega Man]

I support the Allams more than many on here. I also support Nick Barmby. Some posters believe what they want to believe, me I have to believe what I feel is right and that has to be based on what is in the public domain. It also means that as more information comes out, I have to review my stance.
Mad hog has expressed his views and some have responded to them poorly. Stopping posting or even getting angry is not worth it.
The trolls will have their fun, so what. I am a sad fat ****er who knows nowt about owt and I don't give a ****.

Yep, fair comment. There are a lot of people on here (especially from other teams like Leeds/Leicester etc) who, when they don't like someone elses opinions, resort to abuse. You might have thought they'd at least try to be witty, but many are too stupid for that. However, we must try and be patient and help to guide them to seeing the error of their ways. And if they can't be helped .........................well **** 'em then.

I'm with this!

Wow that musta hurt you to recognise that *fact* eh?

It must have hurt me to recognise that based on what the insiders have said, there might be some good news on it's way? Not at all, I've been happy to listen to the insiders the whole time...

If you believed the ****e written this week:

1. Nick has been sacked. 100% gone. No going back. He's gone.
2. The Allams didnt save the club. Not one bit.
3. The Allams have some evil plan to screw the club and fans over after pretending to save it.
4. The Allams didnt give the club any money, it was just all promises, with the aim of destroying us

I'd love to see where anyone posted any of the bold bits.

As I've stated, I know what APs done for us, and I thank him for it, he is however, just a business man.

As I also said, Nick hasn't been sacked and my opinion is, he just needs to actually realise he's a manager and not the players bestest mate, and grow the **** up.

So Adam is a business man meaning his best interests aren't necessarily with City, but the same doesn't apply to the Allam's?

Also love how you end the post with a bit of wild speculation with absolutely no substantiation. Who told you Nick is matey with the players? Or is it just that he's popular with them and you made that up?

I think there's a few other posters who have been stirring it up a bit, it appears the the inside information is falling quicker than the French army & backtracking quicker than an Italian tank

People keep denying it because they want it to be wrong, but it hasn't actually been wrong at all in any of this has it?

in hindsight the games we lost didn't have koren in them!

That's what I mean. 4-4-2 would have probably meant dropping Koren and not a good idea for that reason.

Well every other manager in the football league must be unprofessional then. When the press come asking questions about what additions are needed next season etc etc did you just expect him to be totally quiet or say no comment. I and a lot of other people have listened to these interviews over again and I cannot find anything wrong with what he said. Before he was suspended was there one thread on here complaining that he had said too much or was being disloyal. "make him aware of his position" you will be expecting everyone to bow and scrape to the Allams next. Money does not bring respect that has to be earned.

Women do know about football.

The question I really want to ask Madhog and others though, is this: If OLM is such an untrustworthy source and the things he tells us are so wrong, how come the second he tells us the situation has changed (and therefore there is an opoportunity for you to say he was wrong all along) you suddenly believe him straight away? That's incredibly convenient isn't it?

Don't worry this is going to be my last post here, the sanctimonious and righteous arsewipes that post here as insiders and experts are starting to irritate the hell out of me.

Istplt, where do you stand on the whole saga. I'm not sure you've made it clear enough haha

Haha, sorry Andy I'm filling most of these threads up with some massive posts but it's just the sheer quantity of posts I disagree with which I'd hate to see left unchallenged when they are such nonsense.

 

[The Omega Man]

What is there to gain by highlighting another posters comments and deriding them. It only wrecks any sensible debate.
I am sure that OLM has access to one side, but not the other, so his information has to be taken in context. You can spin in two directions.
Last week I was told that staff where laid off because of changes to things like the lottery as it was going online.
Last week my daughters firm gave notice of 500 redundancies in Southampton. **** happens.

 

[City1904]

Am i the only one who think Nick coming back is a bad idea?

Surely if you have being screwed over once you are going to be worried? If he NB comes back neither the Allams nor Barmby will trust each other, what good is that for a working relationship? Yet the fans will take sides, and there will be a dividing line. I am a huge Barmby fan but him coming back now is surely far to late.

Anyway i am pretty sure i heard Barmby was definately gone by those in the know? Has it changed from when i went to work this morning?

i see where your coming from, mentioned something similar elsewhere, i want barmby in one way, but in another way i dont see how it would work, there would surely be underlying resentment..

Then everything Barmby has done will be un-done and a whole season wasted. I think on the pitch keeping him would be a good idea, but would they know not give him the money? Does he not have the money he needs to strengthen?

Surely now every decision both sides make is going to be scrutinised to the highest level to?

We just have to move on somehow.

OLM's thinks there might be a chance they've realised they over-reacted a bit and there might be talks ongoing to try and sort something out to keep him here. Things seem more uncertain than ever if you ask me. He hasn't said Nick is definitely going back to his job.

Based on the reasons you've mentioned, I'm still a bit doubtful whether it can happen. I really hope so though.

The bit that worries me 'trying to sort something out', thats no working relationship for our chairman and our manager. With Nick in charge all we will constantly be speculating is how long has he got? Thats no way to plan for the long term.
