is that such a bad thing?
we climbed the ladder of the football league once, surely we can do it again, and as it is his signature on the football contracts, he will have to honour the players wages.

with the players we have, we will surely rise straight out of the football conference and gain back to back promotions all the way up to the PL.

Administration does not automatically mean relegation. It depends who takes over.

I don't expect the majority to stop going if the name is changed, just I don't expect AA to walk in 24 hours if it's rejected.

The next chairman would switch it back anyway.

As you confidently expect that to be you (I have a source - but I'm not posting his/her details on here), I think you could give us that guarantee couldn't you?

The majority are against, that's why our owner is refusing to ballot the fans, despite an earlier promise that he would.

Not actually true. The owner doesn't want a ballot because he is the owner. And major shareholder. And Chairman of the Company. Allowing a ballot would create a precedent. No owner, Company, or Chairman would allow that precedent to be set - or we'd all be voting for RBS to give us a million quid each.

Recognise this quote, sunshine?
Ah, the old "protecting my source" ploy. We're lucky to have you coming on here with the inside track on everything. (Wasn't an email from Ash Lord was it?)

That's a rather rosey version of what could transpire should Allam wish to take his ball home fella.

If he sold the club he's selling a 'franchise' that doesn't own it's own ground, isn't yet a settled PL side & he'd have debts of £100m to account for before he received a penny in essence. Given that we've been trying to sell our club for £125m with debts of circa £45m for years, I wouldn't fancy his chances of getting his cash back.

So what alternative does that leave him? He simply does what Gaydamak did & sells all the intangible assets (players) & trousers the Sky bounty in the summer. Clears the lions share of the debt & leaves the football club to go into administration......

You can't pretend that the football club is somehow immune from his threatened actions imo.

Fair question. I'd have no problem with him getting his money back as long as he leaves us solvent. We may be in the bottom division but we'll have a club. He saved my club from liquidation and for that he has my thanks. What he doesn't have the right to do is take the name of our club without our consent.

The point I'm making is that we could sell the club within 24 hours easily if the price was right and the debt to Allamhouse written off. Only he can decide what he's going to do if the FA say no.

They're not season ticket holders, it's an open petition, anyone can sign it.

We can only prove that 10,000 people attending City games have taken flyers, 10,000 people attending City games have taken campaign badges, Over 1000 have bought scarves and over 1500 have paid into a membership scheme in the past six weeks.

Unfortunately the only one of those figures with any validity is the paid membership figure. I've seen petitions apparently signed (several times) by Adolph Hitler, and I have a houseful of campaign badges and flyers that have been shoved in my hands at one time or another for all sorts of crap. The 1000 scarves will mostly be in with the 1500 members.

However the 1500 paid members is a good figure and more than I would have expected.

& you think Allam doesn't give a toss about the fans, yet you're happy to let him rubber dick you daily. Get some respect boy.

It couldn't be clearer.

You believe he doesn't give a toss about the fans (that, loosely talking, includes you).

Yet you're prepared to swing off his every word. Smile whilst he rubber dicks you. Yes boss, yes boss, anything you say boss.

Get some respect, self respect.
