Interview with Ehab

[Wade Wilson]

Are you Rip Van Winkle, mate?

Hull City Council pissed him off, cos he didn't get his way and the KC. He won't let the City obtain what he believes is reflected, unearned glory from the Club's success.

I get that, I just don't get how, in his head, he can achieve that by removing the word city. It's a bit of weird way of thinking.

I'm assuming he doesn't feel the need to change the colours as we don't play in blue and yellow.

Which is a real shame since it would be great if we could be one happy family and focus on the football and not this nonsense.

But it's them who are focussing on the nonsense?


As for the whole stadium thing, when he bought the club he knew what the situation was. If he didn't like it then he didn't have to buy the club.

Damn right! I worked on the buses once - it was Corpo versus Yorkie.

Are you blakey ( spelling ? ) the conductor ?

 

[Dr.Stanley O'Google, HCFC]

Are you blakey ( spelling ? ) the conductor ?

Nah - I looked more like George Harrison than Blakey......

Martin Samuel had it bang on this morning in the Mail
Allams been great investing his money but he's also a Bully who has created a third party ( CTWD) to take the blame should it go wrong
Red Bull Reading anyone ??

AA hasn't created CTWD, it's the result of his intentions

I seriously believe that had they got their way with the stadium, then the Hull Tigers situation may have never happened.

My impression. Although it could be entirely wrong is.

- The Allams wanted the stadium for free or a at a highly reduced rate.

- The council rejected this situation because the offer was derisory and smacked of the Allams arrogance.

- The council didn't want to sell the 'family silver' because it was an asset the council had and felt uncomfortable about that the public building would forever more be in private hands.

- The Allams felt that they could offer a reduced amount because they would take away the financial liabilities of the council. Not to mention that the Allams felt they could expand the stadium and bring in much more revenue from hotels, casinos, shopping and restaurants that the council couldn't.

Allams also thought that the club would be much more likely to stay in the Premier League should the own the stadium, expand it and increase revenue. This in turn would then be more beneficial to the council as it would free them up in other ventures, more visitors to the city and an increased profile of the city worldwide.

- Allams became offended that the council wouldn't sell because they at heart were dong everything they where doing for the benefit of the City and the councils rejection came across to them as if they where faceless, corporate mercenaries.

- Allams also pissed off at the incredibly high council rates as well.

- Allams then get to a point of hatred with the council and turn their attentions to Hull Tigers.

- Allams boast about how they never go back on deals and you only get one opportunity.

- Hull City Council become willing to negotiate on the freehold and the Allams say '**** you, you had your chance'

and yet you still back them and want them to get the name change through. weird.
