    I don't think you quite realise what they've done in the last 24 hours.

    They've sacked our manager who, whichever way you look at it, was looking like assembling a really good squad this summer and having a proper go at promotion. He took loads of stick in January for not signing anyone when in reality he wasn't given any money but was forced to lie about it and pretend he was offered money but didn't want it. Seemingly it was because he dared to make a pretty mild comment in the media about strengthening in the summer.

    They've also sacked a local hero in Adam Pearson who was the last remaining person at the club with any idea what he was doing.

    The players are up in arms about it, they loved Barmby, and the better ones will probably leave now. According to OLM, the owners haven't treated them very well either. We've gone from a club with a decent chance of promotion next season to one which could well be relegated in 24 hours.

    What happened to the below stance?:
    “Also, I bet you that if Nigel goes to Leicester’s chairman and says he wants to approach us for one of our players, their chairman will say ‘not Allam again, go for someone else’.
    “They now know if you want to mess someone about, mess about somewhere else, not here.”

    Surely they wouldnt backtrack on a public statement, would they......?

    If they took note of the fans, they wouldn't have sacked Barmby and Pearson, nor be looking at selling some of our best players.

    So ? very short memories. on here... with all due respect, for all you know these decisions might be for the best. Barmby and the players are employee's , its not their money they want to spend...the first sign of something you lot don't like, your slagging off the owners...Rome was not built in a day.In my opinion hull are well ahead of schedule on rebuilding...short term pain for long term gain it might be...to say the owners "don't know football" is an insult to them and IMO sells them short...you don't get 400 million by being a c u n t...

    yeah and you would feel the same if gary lineker had assembled a good mix of players who with a few clever additions would be challanging for promotion then to be sacked and possibly selling said stars you wouldnt speak utter bollocks !!!!!!!!!!!!

    We were ahead of schedule yes but it's now all gone tits up. Whichever manager for some reason agrees to working for them will have no money to spend and will instead have to lose the best players, if they aren't already gone by then. That will leave us with a way, way below-par squad for this division and we will be in a relegation scrap. If you think they can just do what they like because they put some money in two years ago then obviously we aren't going to come to any agreement any time soon.

    With all due respect, it's none of your business and you don't know enough about what's going on to post anything constructive.

    Thats your opinion, lineker has got more sense than to get involved in owning or managing..its a thankless task as you are demonstrating, fans think with their hearts and other peoples wallets...19,000 back seat drivers who only ever know a fraction of the picture...but that won't stop you knowing it all...as I have said, why these owners bother is beyond me..

    Thats the point, they can do what they like...they bought the club when no one was interested, whats in it for them to fook it all up now? unless you are clairvoyant how do you know whats in the pipeline for the future...christ if evidence was ever needed that throwing money around don't always work..look no further and stop bitching..

    I would be a little suprised if Koren went to play for Pearson again as during his spell here Pearson played Koren out wide which made him very ineffective and at times he looked uninterested. Koren wanted out of West Brom for that reason. As many of us have said, he needs to be playing centerally as he is our most creative player and Barmby knew that. So why go back to Pearson to play out wide and be ineffective again. The only reason I could think of is money

    It's actually a quote, it's what the owners said about themselves.

    That's why I made the comment about him not knowing enough about the circumstances to post anything constructive.

    Or - if you were on the Titanic and you saw that sodding big iceberg and somebody said to you: "Do you want to get in this lifeboat?".......

    The point i was making was you can't call it insulting to the owners to describe them the same way they describe themselves.

    How about you try reading the posts people have made before you decide what their opinion is? Alternatively if you're just going to keep on misrepresenting everything people say we'll just consider it wumming and act accordingly.

    The Allams misery was brought on by themselves. The real misery will come when the season ticket holders don't renew their tickets.
