This is my 'fear'.
Everything you would expect them to do currently to preserve status, perhaps make us a viable proposition to sell, they don't do, or do the opposite.
They might have a figure in mind which they are prepared to get to as an 'acceptable loss', and then they will bail out.

If Allamhouse has borrowed to loan the club, then if they pull the plug they're still saddled with the debt.

Surely the only way the debt is written off is if Allam House goes as well?

Sad times.
I have thought for a few years now that the Allams are running the club
and stadium down as a get back at the council for not selling ground to them.
Can see at some point they will get there money back, probably have already,
and put club in to admin then offer to buy the ground and Walton street land
for next to nothing.
Thought all along the land is what they really wanted.

I could well imagine the players could have been under orders not to win.
Remember in the 70s watching motd Leeds v Southampton match where
Leeds made something like 20 plus passes without a challenge. Found out
later it was a protest by the Southhampton players for something which Don Revies success
at the club became tainted.
Something similar could be going on here but for different reasons.
Probably completely wrong only time will tell.

That would suggest there's more "assets" to go.... Dewijs, Leo, KLP...

Any asset value will not be shown, as the lower a player goes, the less he’s going to cost the buying club. Also they’ve not really shown anything in McCann’s team, so regardless of how good they may be in flashes, they’ve looked **** for longer.
 
there will be a figure at which the allams will be overjoyed in killing the club

im sure with all the tax benefits theyve had the current 40 million debt isnt the amount they will be happy with to be able to walk away heads held high (amongst themselves) knowing theyve done one on lil ol hull tigers

Burnsy probably would've asked if they had not been cut off.


Humberside is getting banned soon, surely? They're doing more digging than HDM and Bucks did.

Frankly, being banned should free them to really write what they think, rather than having to walk on eggshells whenever do an interview.

Those that have criticised Burney for his aggressive questions want to give their heads a wobble, someone has to try and get some answers.

Fast forward to some time in 2021. Hull City bottom of league 1, about to slide into administration and the owners still insisting they are doing a good job!
 
Just to point out that the timing of money coming in for players sold has absolutely nothing to do with when they sell. They don't have to wait for future money to come in, they simply factor it into the selling price.
They might however believe there is good money still to be had from future sales, of such as JDW, LDS, KLP, JS, etc. They can forget that now!
They honestly believed they had devised a magic formula to be a successful entertaining Championship side, bringing in young cheap talent, including the manager & assistant, and selling players on for good money whilst still having the occasional challenge for promotion. Seriously. Backing such a naive, incompetent manager didn't help mindst. If it was a magic formula you would think dozens of clubs would already be doing it .... err ..... just like shortening the name

The formula they seem to have been banking on was to invest in lesser players with the potential to sell on and sustain the club. Unfortunately to do that (as Brentford have done for many many years) you have to have the people available to you that can spot that talent, an Andy Robertson or a Harry Maguire.They weren't luck, rather someone with football nouse who found them. McCant's he played for Doncaster he's good enough for me approach was never going to work.
