For some reason - possibly because I disagree with some of the anti-Allam rabid rubbish that's posted on here (yes PLT that includes you) - it has been assumed that I am some sort of Allam apologist and totally pro-Allam. How many times can I say it - the Allams are not our best owners and they are certainly not our worst. They saved the club from Administration & the 10 point deduction that would have entailed, then appointed a great manager in Steve Bruce then backed him with transfer funds. As a result we've had a terrific 4 years of ups and downs and ups again! Yes, I thanked them for that - as should we all. Currently, they've introduced a Membership scheme which could be very good - except they've not included concessions. That's wrong in my opinion, but it's far from being anything that will stop me going to watch and support my team or buying the merchandise. The only owner I've ever protested against was David "Bastard" Lloyd who managed to unite all fans against him by locking us out of the ground. That was before the time of many posters on here, so I can sort of understand why they see the Allams as the worst owners we've had, although personally I prefer them to Bartlett! Hopefully, the Allams will appoint another great manager, back him with funds, and a new era will begin.
I don't think that really answered the question though?
And to be honest I assume most posters on here can remember David Lloyd and a long time before him

I thought it did in that I said that David "Bastard" Lloyd was the only owner I'd ever protested about as he locked us all out of the ground. Whilst they've done things I don't agree with the Allams' have not come close to doing anything like that or anything that would keep me away from going to matches and supporting the team. I suppose if they started interfering in team selection etc. then that would be unpalatable, but it's a hypothetical question really.

Ah, OK
I doubt you'll have a need to protest then if being locked out is your line in the sand...well hopefully not anyway

The Secretary General of the Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) Captain Ronald Karauri has neglected his duties and overseen massive corruption and theft at the National Carrier Kenya Airways and has remained silent in the face of injustice, occasionally releasing wishy-washy statements that provide no clear direction on the future of the once Pride of Africa.

To begin with, Captain Ronald Karauri recently resigned from Kenya Airways, as it has become more lucrative to run the betting firm Sport Pesa where together with his Hungarian partners, he is making big profits from snookering our usual cabal of ignorant Kenyans, who have been programmed by deceptive marketing to believe that betting is an economic activity.

The biggest calamity is having a betting company dictating the direction of local football, with their sponsorship of Kenyan Premier League (KPL), top clubs Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards plus speculation is rife that senior officials of the new Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Executive Committee are fronting a dubious deal that would have the firm wielding unparalleled influence, leaving football in Kenya to operate at the whims of a greenhorn that probably never kicked a ball in his lifetime, yet hopes to become FKF President like his father Mathew Adams Karauri in a replication of Kenyatta dynasty in national politics.

Newly-elected FKF President Nick Mwendwa should know that he only has a 3-month window to impress Kenyans with a Rapid Results Initiative (RRI), whereby if he opts to concede his future to a betting company or vested corporate interests, he will face a similar fate as that of his predecessor Sam Nyamweya. Rumors are rife that Mwendwa is surrounded by greedy sharks fronting dubious corporate interests, plus a recent series by award-winning investigative journalist John Allan-Namu where FKF Vice Dorris Petra was exposed as having been part of a criminal scandal, where she together with co-conspirators in the Ministry of Sports, used the Women’s Football Team to make money, by faking a trip to Tanzania for a football match and even having their passports stamped by immigration. Kenyans saw that video and kept quiet because we want to give you Mwendwa the benefit of a doubt. And when things go haywire, we will come for you and not your office.

Moving on, reports reaching the Cyprian Nyakundi newsdesk indicate that Kenya Airways is planning on retrenching 70 pilots, 22 being the older ones who fly the Boeing 777’s and the rest being plucked from other fleets. Amidst all this, Captain Ronald Karauri is busy signing deals with Arsenal saying he is their representative in Kenya, whilst neglecting his primary role of advocating for the welfare of pilots, the bulk of whom work for the collapsing Kenya Airways.

It is rumoured that Captain Ronald Karauri has been bribed into silence by Kenya’s Hugh Hefner and architect of many scandals Chris Kirubi, speculation that was triggered after the duo appeared on a TV interview on The Trend by Larry Madowo. The interview was pre-scripted and Karauri did not articulate anything that made sense and was rather following the cue of Kirubi, who has vested interests in the airline’s collapse. It will be remembered that Kirubi precipitated the collapse of Uchumi Supermarkets so as to buy off the chain, a move that was stalled by other directors. On 21st September 2015, it was announced that Chris “Hugh Hefner” Kirubi purchased 2.1million KQ shares and ‘suggested’ that it stops trading at the NSE.

Today, Will Horton @Winglets747 an analyst at Centre for Aviation (CAPA) tweeted a very strange occurrence. “Kenya Airways becoming case study in re-leasing new aircraft. Kenya’s 777-300ERs going to Turkish, some 787s to Oman Air.” The question is, how do you lease aircraft that you have also leased?

Note of importance is that on January 16th, 2016 bribed journalists like Brian Ngugi of the Daily Nation copy-pasted a press release from Kenya Airways stating that the KQ Board had approved the sale of aircraft in the B777 range. The company that supposedly purchased the redundant aircraft did not, however, announce, yet buying planes isn’t buying bread in a bakery.

Here is the reason. Key individuals in the Office of the President are said to own the 5Y-KYR, KYS and KYT. Another 10 aircraft’s with registrations 5Y-FFA to FFJ are said to be owned by another powerful Kenyan residing in Statehouse which earns him a lot of bucks. In Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), pilots nicknamed a bay where redundant aircraft were parked as “The Graveyard” and it is from this lot that Will Horton is referring to. Kenya Airways cannot stop leasing this redundant aircraft because they are connected to the usual family that has shafted Kenyans since independence. Now even as Turkish Airlines and Oman Air pays $1.2million for every craft they are leasing, Kenya Airways is paying $1.5million to the shell companies registered in Mauritius as purpose-built fraud vehicles, meaning that Kenya Airways is still coughing $3million to offset and make the family happy.

As all this is happening, Ronald Karauri is still silent, traveling to Emirates Stadium to do bogus deals with Arsenal, and turning a blind eye on the corrupt dealings, probably because the same people who are bringing down Kenya Airways are also the characters behind Sport Pesa. It is not by accident but by design, because Ronald Karauri is the son of former Tigania MP Adams Karauri who is always spotted with Jubilee scum like Kithure Kindiki.

The Kenya Airline Pilots Association (KALPA) remained silent even as their support staff (cabin crew) were massively retrenched and even short-changed, without even the slightest threat of industrial action. We hereby petition member of KALPA to recall the entire office and elect individuals who have the best interest of aviation, and not using their seats for proximity to cut deals like Ronald Karauri.

We hereby attach this link by Kahawa Tungu detailing the genesis of the scandal that’s ripping our old national carrier apart, and call on business journalists to cease henceforth any copy-paste of Kenya Airways Press Releases, or else we will expose you to the whole world. This is the last warning to you Wallace Kantai, Terryanne Chebet and your ilk.
 
Apparently the new kit is ranked the worse in the Premier League.

HDM.

Apologies if this has been posted before.

I was just going to post this after coming across the piece in the Mirror:

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-kit-rankings-2016-8494444

He even admits its not serious, but putting ours last and Spurs first is just ridiculous. The Spurs shirt is awful. As is Liverpool, Watford, Man Utd, Southampton, Like the Citeh shirt but not the blue shorts... The Lester one is actually nice, if ours had a collar like that I think it would look smashing.

We've been voted as having the worst kit by the Mirror.

"This looks like the kind of kit you'd wear playing for your school team, if your school was in the throes of a financial crisis so severe that they were forced to purchase sporting equipment from the guy who sells textiles of questionable origin down at the local flea market.

The collar looks like it was designed by someone who has never seen an item of clothing before."
