    I think it's fairly obvious.

    I hope it clears up.

    Stop stealing our nurses.

    Sorry I can't help over details of the possible sales. I get nearly all my information from the accounts not anyone connected to the club. the rest I pick up from what OLM posts on here.

    Yes, it is a fact. An absolute fact. They were going to sell. They expected to sell.
    How do I know? From someone VERY close.
    I also know that during late 2016 and early 2017 there was zero activity in terms of a sale.
    I can't comment on the current situation, but I don't believe there is a sale on the near horizon. Unfortunately.

    They are deluded if they believe we are going to be anywhere near top 6 with the 'squad' they have 'assembled'. It's not Championship Manager, can't just rip the heart out of the club on and off the pitch. Any buyer would see through that. I agree with the other part re collecting their 4%'s.

    There was an undoubted intention to sell. But the Allams are incapable of getting a sale over the line, through their insistence on pushing things until the deal at hand breaks. So while their intentions suggest a sale is desired, their actions suggest otherwise.

    As ever, they stumble around, balls things up then clear up the mess retrospectively.

    Completely agree with you, we need a core of players and depth of squad to be successful.

    The Allams don't need us to be successful just appearing to be capable of success could be enough to sell the club. Remember their aim isn't to build a football club proud to represent the city any more, their aim is a sale with a profit.

    Investment it always was. Never a "gift". Anyone believing it was a gift is gullible beyond belief.

    They want as much money out of it as possible and will continue to do anything possible to achieve this.

    They employ on the cheap (nothing wrong with that of course except you never get the best with that strategy).

    They have never acted in the long term interests of Hull City.

    They are a pair of ****s and we would be well rid.

    I wonder what their legacy will be. My bet is another ****ty owner only interested in getting out as much as he can.

    Should have started that with a 'Morning all' :emoticon-0100-smile

    Mods, a bit of cleansing wouldn't go amiss.

    Making as much money as they can so they can make up the difference when they try and sell the club at a fraction of what they would have gotten last year.

    Don't give them a single penny and everyone boycott games

    It will never happen but that is the only way to rid them from our club

    The two potential buyers who walked are not coming back, those deals are completely dead.

    The FA/PL don't release any info about these tests. If that was where it fell down only people who were in the loop would know for sure, the press would find out, and wrote an article using terminology such as 'reportedly' and 'speculated', as it's not a cold hard 'FACT' per se.

    I have it from a well placed source that Ehab insisted that the Yongges included a score of Ehabs Triad friends in their consortium at the 11th hour as it went to the PL to sign off, or he'd have them assassinated.

    Then bought Lamborghinis and Range Rovers with the deposit he stole. And a family of foxes to shoot in his back garden.
