    Ok, well I didn’t hear it when I was there but on the video it definitely sounds to me like the unbroken “ooooo” of a boo, if it’s a “yooooo”I can’t hear the associated “‘ull”. It also sounds lower pitched like a boo not the higher pitch of yoo ull.

    anyway I’m probably over thinking this on a Friday night…

    Years ago when people used to make ooh ooh ooh sounds at a corner there were accusations of racism when it was nothing of the sort.

    You know when you buy a house, cash or mortgage it doesn’t matter, what ever you pay, that house is in debt to you, do you (A) panic like **** and shout I’m in debt for £100k, or whatever, or (B) say this might be worth £150K in a few years, Acun has bought the equivalent to a house, if he does well, he will be in profit, like the Allams were.
    If he ****s up, he can afford it. Football club ownership is a vanity project, he owns a TV station, he will make millions.

    Worth remembering the media company owns the club. Acun is the founder and face of that company, but he came up from the streets and has always had people backing him.

    You don't come from here he has, to where he is now without a track record of making as much money for others as you do for yourself.

    As far as it's 'not a gift' ?

    It never is and you're a naive ****er for thinking it is. Hopefully though it's a win - win.

    Acun Medya bought the club.its on the club website. It's bigger than Acun alone.

    And no, no-one ever bought a football club purely as a gift to fans.

    Not even the 'good' owners.

    The SMC debt was owed to City, it’s included in the £30m owed to Allamhouse, not in addition to it.

    Acun paid £20-30m, depending on who you believe and in return the Allams wrote off all the debt (it was only a paper debt anyway, they’d actually had the money back in interest and group tax benefit, so Acun’s payment is basically the profit they’ve made from their ownership).

    It seems they could also benefit further in the future, as there’s clauses that could see them get additional payments based on success and player sales.

    Christ alive, shows you how keen Acun was for the club if he’s agreed to that. No right minded business man would usually sign up on those terms, bar our Turkish night.

    I know it would never happen, but there’s no wonder yeh council never gave the keys to the stadium to them two idiots. This could have happened.

    I'm not sure why we have got bogged down with only discussing the mere £20-30M? I was told we had had over half a billion through the club several years ago during the Allam era to end up no better off, arguable a smaller club in fact, over the 11 years. City accountants what has been the final turnover? I'd hope that if Acun Ilicali has a similar turnover in the same time scale we will see progressive improvements in the stadium, the training facilities, the fan base and the league position a decade from now, then history will judge the legacies?

    My point was simply that Assam Allam said he'd left the club debt free. BS, another lie.

    As OLM sets out nice and simple, the club owed Allamhouse around £30 million. Acun (or Acun Media) paid Allam £20-30m, depending on who you believe, and IN RETURN the Allams wrote off the debt. BUT this means that at that same moment as the debt to Allamhouse was removed, the club became in debt by the same £20-£30m to Acun (Media), as the balance sheet will now show ....... unless Acun has gifted the city £20-£30 million which, as someone else said, doesn't happen.

    There's no problem with us still being in debt, just a problem with Allam talking BS / lying about handing us over debt free, and also with people continuing to believe his BS.

    Edit: re. the interview, why the hell don't journalists challenge his crazy BS comments? He was once again allowed to otter on about his stupid name change logic, making out the club is called by some stupid incorrect name other than the name that's used throughout the football world, Hull City AFC, nickname The Tigers (exactly as per the badge he removed in spite). Then to talk BS about the club now being debt free. In fact, why even give him air time when he's gone to lengths previously to avoid, even ban fellow journalists.

    Why don't I just ignore him now? Because people are still believing and defending his BS.

    I can't say I remember ooh, ooh, ooh but I do remember, "Ooh, it's a corner!" Lack of success made us easily pleased in those days.

    You're telling me he hasn't 'gifted' it. Shock horror. Probably not his money anyway.
