I think when it comes to AP, it was probably a case of him telling Assem how to a run a business and Assem turning around and saying "Hang on a minute, what the **** have you done?" Ehab stated he'd be disappointed with anything outside of the top six. He trusted AP (too much IMO) and AP ultimately failed him.
I'm sure they're capable of negotiating a contract, but do they know the value of a player to be able to negotiate a football contract? Aside from the backhanders isn't that the problem we had with the last lot?
The big difference is that the last lot had Paul Duffen using someone else's money to give out ridiculous contracts. The Allams pay the cheques at the end of each month. They will negotiate contracts to suit the clubs salary policy. The way people talk about them you'd think we had the Chuckle Brothers running things!
as I said, no intent to say you were wrong. a lot of what you say may turn out to be correct but right now its mostly conjecture.
You mean like Liverpool and their team of pro's valuing Carroll at 35 million quid? I also think they're more than capable of valuing a player then negotiating a sensible price. Like they did when Leicester came back for NP. In fact, its a shame more clubs aren't run this way rather than just allowing agents to get stupid prices and wages for players.
They had a football person at the club when Leicester came for NP. My concern is that our owners who admit to knowing nothing about football will be taken for a ride by agents of players worth £5k/wk and end up paying them say £8k/wk because they don't know the market values. It might not sound much , but you go from having 3 players for £15k/wk to only having 2 players and spending £16k/wk. Not good for the wage bill or the squad depth. The fact Liverpool got taken for a ride isn't really related to it, we had someone who knew fairly well what players were worth financially and now we don't so it becomes a concern. Personally I don't think we'll see much business before the managerial position is sorted out, firstly the above, but there's also no point buying/selling players if the new manager doesn't want that decision taking. Imagine having a bid for Fryatt and McLean, deciding to sell McLean as he scored less, and then finding out your preferred manager wanted McLean to stay as a wide striker but wanted to replace Fryatt with a bigger targetman type in the middle.
Yes its way easier to spend someone elses money than it is your own. The Allams certainly should have the biggest say in who the clubs buys and what wages they pay them. As Harry said the buck stops here.
Yer I'm with you mate! No-one renew your passes or buy tickets! then in a couple of years we can all spend our saturdays standing in an empty field with our principles and no club! No one buys passes, clubs makes no money, club goes bust, club dies, no more Hull city AFC. You think letting the club go bust is the answer? Think this'll get rid of owners? if that happens who the hell is gonna buy a club that no-one goes to see? Think they'll buy a club thats making no money because there maybe people sat at home with principles waiting for them? People by passes and tickets for the club, not the Allams, because they want the club to do well and survive
You obviously accept everything the Allam's say and disregard the input of NB (said to be gutted), AP (very disappointed), Rosenior (disgusted) and on this board OLM and PT. Maybe you should ask why you feel these people are all misguided and only Assam has a monopoly of the truth. BTW If we had a vote on who the most important staff at the club were a few days ago (obviously not including the owners) there's a good chance NB and AP would have finished top.
