looks like citys fans and manager (Who ever that may be) are going to be held to ransom over the money the Allams have fronted to save the club. and questioning the the Allams ways or speaking out side of their business plan will not be tolerated and could wind up being your last involvement with the club. maybe rovers too to a (MUCH) lesser extant, even i am far from happy as a hull fan in even being associated to them via the stadium company, and its possibly been made all the worse by the broken down relationship between them and Adam.

If they really are going to attempt to have a more direct handling of football matters, then God help the City fans. I can envisage a Hudge-esque spectacle at half-time with the Allams handing out advice and oranges, with Phil Brown banished to the chopping board too afraid to speak out.

That is the difference between Pearson and the Allams. Pearson knows what he doesn't know hence McRae as a director and he wouldn't get shot of him like he was dispensed with. It's not like Allam bought a squash team eh?

That would be a certain youtube hit, if their radio interviews are anything to go by

It does seem very much that the Allams think they now own both the Football club but also the respect of the fans, it's always thus with these kind of people, they never earn respect, they just demand it, usually by holding a metaphorical "sword of damocles" over all and sundry.

It's a difficult one for Barmby and Pearson, their pride will say "walk quietly away with dignity" but they are both, in my opinion, entitled to compensation.

Barmby sacked.

Oh dear Allam's, oh dear

Will we now see Nick Barmby on the board at Hull?

He might get on the board at Hull, but he could get a game at Rovers!

We need to distance ourselves as much as possible from this shambles, not sure Barmby sitting on the board is the way to do that, tbh.

no reason why we should, he and Pearson are colleagues and Adam has a belief in Barmby's ability as a football manager, nothing there to suggest a link with FC.

more likely both will reappear along the M62 in coming months.

Escape at Castleford?

Go on, I'll bite. What cobblers is this then?

nothing I've been told, just think AP still has Hudds football in his eyes, him ending up back at Leeds is also a chance (football, not L**ds rugby)

Another FC fan signing on.

As Chief Exec, or owner?

I dont' think Dean Hoyle will be selling his beloved club anytime soon. It's not like he's short of cash.

Don't think it will be owner, he hasn't got the cash now (since buying FC), just think he has a deeper interest in Football than RL, I guess we'll see.

Maybe, but its entirely possible for him to transfer his passion over time (speaking from personal experience, it happens). However, from an income POV, it's football he knows and has earned a good living from, so that may draw him to a club as CEO. He needs an income stream to shore up your losses.

I'll ignore your crap trolling, we both know you're better than that, AP has more cash in the bank thn the poisoned dwarf.

I always believed that Adam would depart Hull city at the end of there season and so he did. He also appeared to make a stand alongside Nick Barmby that speaks volumes about loyalty and friendship, a man of honour who sticks by his friends is ok by me.

The troubles of Hull city will continue and IMHO get a whole lot worse, clearly some one has lost grip of reality and actually think they know what they are doing. A worrying time for the city supporters and one I hope turns out right at the end of this lengthening tunnel of disaster for them.

Nice to watch the local media positions take on all this and I wonder how they are going to get themselves out of the various orifices they are currently stuck up.

Awww, and we were getting on so well. I was beginning to think all I'd heard about you wasn't true.

You obviously haven't heard enough, as I have said many times before, opinions only count when they come from people I respect, and I don't respect anyone who can't stick with the same username for more than 5 minutes.

But not as much as Rob Crossland and he's got a job

I take it you haven't heard, have a look at how well Parasol are going in there IR35 cae(s) bud.

He will need more than one job to keep bankrolling Rovers.

He sold Parasol didnt he? Well thats what you say when it's mentioned
