Love how your mind tries to conform reality to your own world view. Applying the same logic, Harold Shipman may have been one of the most prolific serial killers this country has produced but at least he only targeted old ladies.
Tell that to the families of the dozens of male victims he bumped off. :emoticon-0138-think

They invested money to improve our academy which led to the development and progression of players like Lewis-Potter and Greaves. What has Acun done for the long-term future of the club? **** all except free holidays.
Sorry but that wasn’t down to the Allams , two local players came along with real ability for the first time in years , it happens like tha
The Allams may have been vindictive, self-serving and conceited but they still ran the club far better than Acun has done.
That’s because they ran it like accountants do , ‘know the COST of everything’ but the ‘value’ of nothing .
 
Wow. Just wow!

Cant believe what some are writing You want a proper example of what lying, deceitful, vindictive, self serving, conceited owners actually look like then thats the Allams. Have people really got that short a memory to be rewriting history so soon?
You've been chewing that bone for a good 5 years now,hasn't it lost it's flavour yet?

It's just so ****ing boring and It's eating away at you,can't you get them out of your mind?

After we lost Dan James to Swansea for peanuts because we didn't have a proper academy they rectified it by upgrading the centre of excellence so it wouldn't happen again.

They also invested in the likes of Bowen.

If they hadn't done that then firstly we wouldn't have had Bowen or the fee he generated, and secondly, the likes of KLP.and Greaves could easily have been poached by a club with an academy for nominal compensation.

Have you any experience of "accountants running a company"?
John D. Rockefeller started off as an accountant
many accountants have founded companies such as Nike for example

So the Allams can’t take any credit for the positives during their tenure?

If the Allams can’t take credit for the improvements to the academy then Acun can’t take any credit for the improvements to attendances.

Who do you want to replace Acun? Who's on the shortlist?

This is why it's pointless calling for his head. He can't get anywhere near what he's put in as the club is only worth that in his own head.

So he can't just wave a wand and sell without a loss he'd be unable or unwilling at this point to stand.

In the Q&A he said if he sold he would expect to write the loans off
I doubt he would write them all off
 
You could be right but Bruce pulled Bowen regardless of the academy and I do think the two Hull lads like a fair few here stay because it’s local and convenient . I agree that if we’d been able to look after James with an academy he might have stayed - but even at that level money must talk ?

Without the academy they would have been risking losing him for nominal compensation regardless of who scouted him.

The Allams provided the infrastructure and sanctioned the fee.

It didn't need to talk because we didn't have an academy. If we had an academy we'd have had a negotiating position.
