If tubby is who I think he is, he does know people around the club. It'll all come out in the wash though PLT ...
Indeed. But that's the thing. Speak to people at the club and you get the 'everything's rosy' version. We had too many coaches anyway etc. etc.
I disagree, while they are in charge I do not believe they can afford to let us drop through the divisions unless they want to lose millions, (and face) and even the very rich do not like losing millions, or been made to look a failure. Yes they are guilty of many things, yes they probably screwed up the sale (and if they did they, will be well aware they did) but you cannot say they have let the club down on the playing side. The worst I believe they have done is not buy Gray when we needed him, but the manager and squad just made up for that mistake. They are never going to go that extra mile in buying players, but they have not done bad, so please stop the rubbish about wanting to destroy the club, because to do that would lead to failure and loss of the millions. Just my opinion I know and will not be supported by many but I ask you to give credit if it is due and rightly compain about the real problems, but keep it real.
So in your opinion they don't want to destroy Hull City AFC? They've tried to change our name, now they've taken our name off the club badge, they've introduced a membership scheme that has pissed off a considerable percentage of the fan base, they've failed to back the most successful manager in our history to the point where he had to walk away, and they have not offered one word of explanation for their actions or spoken about their vision for the club in the future. If that's a recipe for success, God help us - but it all seems pretty destructive to me.
I don't think they have set out to destroy the club, that's a by product of them not understandin this particular business (football) - rebranding was a good idea but poorly executed (didn't understand traditional values in football) - club badges get redesigned at a lot of clubs, unfortunately due to the above this was doomed from the start - membership scheme is a good idea in principle, many people can't afford a season ticket out right, or doesn't work for them. They have just got pricing wrong and been greedy - sale of club falling through happens, would you sell an item you own for less then you value it at, more so if you realise it's worth more then initial thought Bruce been sacked/resigning happens, he fell out with the board for what ever reason, we have an inept chairman - failing to appoint a new manager, again we have an inept chairman. The Allams are not trying to destroy the club, the have let an inept idiot run the show and now are too entrenched to realise that in a hole you stop digging. They are wealthy men, successful in their field, unfortunately that field is not football
Why did we need rebranding? Did we have a **** nickname or crest? Did we have a long or unwieldy name No. No. No. If anyone was stupid enough to give them the benefit of the doubt, their childish and deceitful behaviour of continually refusing to put our name on the crest would be the clincher. Petty, vindictive, calculated to annoy and send the message "We're in charge, **** you all" I hope they lose tens of millions when we finally purge them from our club- they are like a malignant anal cyst oozing rancid pus.
"Rebranding" was a crap idea. If it's that good why aren't other clubs changing their names every 5 minutes? No other club removes the name of said club from its badge If membership scheme is that good, why have so many not taken it up? It's not just a price thing, its all the bollocks about moving seats etc. Sale of club fell through because Allam's jerked potential American Investors around once too often and they walked away. SB clearly fell out with Ehab over our failure to sign Gray last year and Ehab's failure to support him in the transfer market subsequently. Their field may not be football, but they made a good start by appointing Bruce in the first place. However when AA fell out with the City council he started all this name change bollocks and its been downhill in terms of owner / fan relationship ever since. The current situation is toxic and it is a situation of their own making. They may not have set out to destroy the club, but that is what they are doing
And too vain, deluded, up their own arses, with brittle egos, to admit they've ****ed it all up on a massive scale.
Most people who are successful in one field have enough self-awareness to recognise their strengths & weaknesses and limitations and stick to what they're good at, or take advice/get in experts when needed. To keep making blunder after blunder and dig in, insisting they are right against all evidence does take a particular mindset. Most people would agree it takes a bigger man to hold their hands up and apologise, and who knows, if they did that now maybe it may restore a tiny bit of the goodwill they got when they took over the club in the first place.
that was the worst, was it? you must be a donald trump supporter. now we agree on something. your assessments of the allam's actions and intentions are far more generous than mine are.
The Allams ( or at least Assam) are very experienced businessmen who know to some extent how a business works. I do not buy this idea that they are just incompetent at running a football club. I think that at some point, they decided that they we not going to continue trying to make a success of the club, but we're going to take back what they put in, some may call this asset stripping. If they wanted to make a success of this season, then why not just back sb and get on with the season, sell the club to a serious buyer and get out. Their actions are increasingly appearing vindictive, not incompetent........although the jury is still out on Ehab.
That was a pretty reasoned response until the last 8 words - that I'm afraid devalued all you may have said before. Ehaw is either ****ing low IQ stupid, totally egotistical, incompetent, or all of the above.
