    Another angle could be that there is someone interested in buying, but are using low support as a negotiating factor. The allams by getting more in are strengthening their case in these negotiations.

    In other news I’m also hoping for a lottery win...which even though I don’t do it must be theoretically possible too.

    The past two sets of accounts released have had a director's note attached. Without third party monies, City are not a going concern.

    We have had more money come into the club than ever before, yet they are still owed 50 million.

    An increase in support, backing the team on the pitch is beneficial to the players, but the increase in income will only help pay the day to day bills. Yes, the gift interest being one of those.

    I think the numbers through the turnstile will not be a major factor in negotiations. Right now, we are somewhat less irrelevant, but probably a minor point.

    I hope he's telling the truth, but I still refuse to believe a word he says.

    Standard seller's bluff re the two interested parties.

    Bowen worth at least £30 mill, going by values for the likes of Daniel James, Robbo and Maguire.

    FFS, if we must sell, let's get a good deal for once.

    Lowest attendance? Probably only because they've published a figure closer than usual to the actual?
    Still hope they **** off. Don't trust them. The reason for their supposed change in attitude is nothing to do with reconciliation, it's for purely selfish reasons. Does anyone seriously believe they have actually seen the error of their ways, and trying to make it up to those they have ****ed around? Many lifelong passionate fans stopped going because of their antics. I'll start to believe if they admit they were ****s and apologise in person to everyone of us.

    With you all the way on this Askew. I'm dismayed that people are seemingly starting to believe in these nasty bastards.

    We all want the results, that's right and natural, but I can't believe people are willing to take that poison olive branch.

    Being gullible is a thing, but again and again?

    The parachute money is gone and that is the singular reason for all of this latest ****.

    And sadly when Allams returned the previous game, in the old diehard E2 'No' voters stronghold, myself and Denis were alone in the ' Allam out ' chant, despite a reasonable CTID chant. There was even a pathetic challenge to our chant, which when we countered, the pathetic response was 'they're trying'.
    I lost the moment in the PNE game after the CTID chant, so rather than his usual starting any chants, Denis impressively loudly growled something like ' **** Off Allam ****s'. Never questioned him afterwards, but seemed to be a realisation we're pretty much On our own, but still determined to get his ****ing two penny worth in!

    ‘Twas exactly that
    Was conscious that I could only guarantee one person would join in an anti Allam chant, and it was you.
    So just shouted for them to **** off instead.
    Therefore there was not one anti Allam chant the whole game. And that made me feel unclean.

    As I’ve said before
    If anyone has always supported their antics then fair enough...sort of (although you’re wrong)
    If anyone has chosen to always ignore them then fair enough.
    If anyone has fallen for recent improvements and thinks they’re doing anything other than trying to reline their pockets then I think you’re spectacularly naive
    if you’re one of the people who suddenly stopped singing anti Allam chants on the game that they returned for, so as not to upset them...you’re a knobhead

    I've just listened through AA interview and his total views even in hindsight haven't changed, he still believes changing the name would have brought in extra millions. Why don't these interviewers take the opportunity to question things he says, I guess we know the reason, as if they did then he would just freeze them out.

    So from him no apology for things they got wrong, just another airing of blaming the fans for what went on. Even now he can't resist is saying that the lack of fans attending games will affect his ability to sell the club.

    For me, Ehab's attempts to build bridges just took a rather large step backwards, and if Terry saw this interview he would be <doh>.

    Any idea how much for? Obviously a club on land in London with its own stadium, slightly larger than the KC, will have gone for a lot more than £50 million?

    Undisclosed, but the new owner is worth about $10b, so it's pocket change whatever it is.

    Yes, but he could have bought the best run club in the Football League but chose them instead. Can’t understand it...
