    He doesn't even bother mentioning the FA now, even though they are the ones who decided on the name change issue.

    Since when was the team and the stadium the same thing? When has anyone from Hull put money into Hull City?
    Sometimes your insular Hull attitude prevents you seeing the blindingly obvious.

    Not all shareholders of the company or customers of it lived in Hull BTW. Mind you I have always said the main motivation of some involved was the preservation of Hull FC.

    I can't buy that. If you look at his company and the money it makes, anything he gets in from City is probably just loose change. I can't see him getting anywhere near all of his money back so I don't think he'll make money from the club in that sense. I think he likes the fame, he's now pretty much well known throughout the UK and pretty much anywhere that watches the PL. That can only be good surely for Allam Marine

    You keep confusing shareholders with the company that the shares represent. It doesn't make a jot of difference who bought the shares, it was a part of Hull City Council that ran the company on behalf of the citizens of Hull.

    Of course, the ground doesn't matter, City's growth in the last decade and a half would have happened without the Council money....wouldn't it?

    It wouldn't have grown without Pearson's involvement who stepped in seeing an opportunity when no one from Hull could or would see one.

    And Pearson wouldn't have got involved without the clear promise of the stadium, which was funded by the citizens of Hull.

    Why the **** you keep chirruping on as though there's some issue between Hull folk and ER is lost on me. It's your argument, you just keep on trying to make out it's others with the issues.

    He gets £3-4m a year in interest, that's not loose change to anyone.

    If he's well known throughout the UK & anywhere that watches the PL because of his involvement with HCAFC then he's well known as a bumbling buffoon & an object of idiocy. I'm sure it's great fir Allam Marine.

    And he saves a bundle in tax between his companies by offsetting losses.

    Anybody who had 10s or hundreds of millions wouldnt be living in Hull anyway would they.
    So to suggest somebody from Hull could
    Buy the club is a non starter.
    And he quite plainly bought it thinking the stadium and surrounding land would be handed on a plate.

    The club have one vice president who lives well within the Hull boundary is Hull born and bred and made his money in Hull. It is foolish to think that anyone who lives in Hull has no money.

    The Vice Presidents are all honorary, none of them own any part of the club.

    Though I agree that it's foolish to think that anyone who lives in Hull has no money.

    Got a bit nasty this thread. I'm wary about sticking my head above the parrot pit and give my opinion...

    I'm neither a Allam fan or hater.

    But he knows way more about what happens behind the scenes than a bunch of people on an internet forum. A lot of stuff spouted on here by some people is either; assumptions, hearsay or bias based on their own displeasure for the guy.

    He may have been the worst owner we have ever had but he has also been the best we have ever had and probably one of the best chairmen that most clubs have ever had.

    The way he goes about things is disastrous and his PR skills are offensive and abysmal but the root of what he wanted to do (righ or wrong) was always with him trying to take the club to a the next level - a level the club has never been at before.

    I thank him for everything he has done for the club and brought me some of the happiest memories in the clubs history. I will be glad to see the back of him because the club now needs to move on as it's all turned a bit bitter. However. I will say the best reason for seeing him go is no longer having to listen to the people who are consumed by him and can't talk about anything else but him.

    You could go to a parrot pet shop and ask them for advice.

    Nobody said they have no money but a few million isnt enough to take over the tigers
    Look how much the Allams had to put in originally.
    Id have to have over £300 million before i even contemplated it
