Former Hull City MD Nick Thompson talks football finance, Hull City past and present https://audioboom.com/posts/5998222...s-football-finance-hull-city-past-and-present
Basically the Allams were right about the name change, they'd identified key markets and business partners which would have been worth millions as well as giving us a global reputation, fans are idiots who think they know better than experts with decades of experience, and the Allams are a lovely family who go above and beyond to help people and are very charitable behind the scenes which nobody knows about.
It is hugely beneficial for any club to engage with their fans. Running a football club isn't the same as running a normal business. that kind of thing... But then you did listen to it didn't you
I don't doubt they are. Meanwhile the ones from Bangor I've found her actually. Pretty successful and living in England...
Apart from the bit about Gin being a girls drink, the following at the bullet points. 1. Feels that I is important that fans have their say at clubs. Snipe at the Allams. 2. Said that City's time in the EPL being made global, increased intake at Hull University by 30%. 3. Said he enjoyed his time being in football and would like to get back in it at some point. 4. Basically said it was a pity there was a fractured relationship at City with the fans, and that should not happen. 5. Fan are not customers they are more than that. He told Assem Allam that had he ever had a request from one of his customer in his non football business to scatter a customer ashes at the work place. Rest of it was just things which are normally talked about specific games that he enjoyed watching during his time at City.
I heard a story that someone's will requested his hearse pass by the KCOM one last time on the way to cremo/ cemetery. Club were advised of this and some staff cam out to pay their respects. Ehab was allegedly heard to say that he thought this was weird and couldn't understand why anyone would want to have this in their funeral arrangements.
Why? I want my hearse to pass the numerous grounds in and out of the football league. They're the places that make you a city fan, not the KCOM.
