Excellent tweet in response to the claimed appeal to the CAS over the Tigers name.

"David Conn @david_conn · 23m

Just checked with Court of Arbritration for Sport (CAS). They have not received an appeal by Hull City against the FA re name change. #hcafc"

So, in less than an hour from BBC Sportsday saying,

"14:19

Assem Allam adds: "We have also begun the appeal against the FA's decision via the Court of Arbitration for Sport." "

he's been shown to be [uvery[/u economical with the truth.

He's a first class idiot. Yes he's done some great things for the city and the club, but if he told me the sky was blue, I'd double check.

Checked with Football Association: they've heard nothing regarding any appeal to CAS by Hull City regarding the "Tigers" name change #hcafc

a shame he doesn't smoke, and his son cannot polish glass...

no,on gumtree.

Fruitcakes, the pair of them.

But, but, but... he spent the whole dreary 45 minutes going on about how he is a man of his word! Didn't you hear him say he couldn't live without principles? How he said he'd act within 24 hours if the FA said no, and how he honoured that promise after 22 hours?

He doesn't lie or make false promises - he said as much about eighty times!



I don't think we've appreciated what he's been up against. Trying to reason with those Labour councillors who havenever travelled further than Doncaster can't have been easy, you know. And, like he said, what difference does it make who owns the freehold? It's what you plan to do with it what counts. Assem was going to build a hotel you know. He said so today. Hang on, what happened to the 'sporting village'....?

No, I must've got that bit wrong, him being a principled man of his word, and all.

The guy is a clown.

I think I must have misheard on the way home.

Did he say if he'd known about the City name, he wouldn't have bought the club?

Ooh! Now that nasty Carl Minns is at it too! He's just tweeted:

"Since day 1 of this farrago Allam has NEVER put a bid in to buy the stadium. Complete red herring twitter.com/RadioHumbersid…"

Now I know he was a LibDem and all, but I reckon he's never been past Doncaster either. What that good Dr has had to put up with! Still, he knows he's an honourable man.

Just listening to the presser. Said arbitration process started a few weeks ago and when asked how long the process would take, said he didn't want questions focussing on it.

"Money doesn't come into it". OK then. His loan has yielded him 3 million quid in interest according to David Conn.

Might not need to buy it. If the appeal is rejected and no-one buys the club before the decision is made, he'll give Hull City away.

And he's a man of honour who once he's said something, he acts on it. Without fail, don't forget.

I would hope someone would pay him back the £3000 he spent on the plans for the KC Sporting Village. It is the least he deserves.

Cannot someone reign in this nutjob.

Not forgetting the Melton stadium plans which must have cost a pretty penny to draw up.

Oh dear. Burns has not a shred of dignity left. What a sycophant. To Sir, with love, indeed.

Ridiculous coverage. Hoggarth and Dean praising Allam's passion and fronting up, Burns with his head up Allam's ass.
No calling out all the false claims he's made. Wow.

Burns has always been the same with those in charge at City. He kissed Duffen's backside for years but as soon as he was gone he slated him.

Did you forget about the new stadium in Melton?

Looks like he's bought the back page of the Hull Daily Mail this morning!!! I tend to think if it were us or Rovers they'd be loving it!

has the swear filter kicked in, or did you really mean "loving" Wilf?

Silly me, it is clear he has been treated shockingly throughout this whole affair!

I know many have pointed this out already, but this idea about being a man of his word is just plain boring now.

Allam states he put the club up for sale 22 hours after the FA's name change decision (on 10th April). There are three factors to consider.

1. Who was made aware of this intention to sell? Did he instruct Corporate Finance types to find a buyer? Why no public announcement of the intent to sell?

2. Is it just a little bit coincidental that on 10th April City were just 3 days away from an FA cup semi final against lower league opposition with the real (and ultimately realised) probability of getting to the final which would lead to European football. This fact alone would have increased interest in the club. So, was the club really up for sale on 10th April? Why announce that the club was for sale from 10th April FIVE months later? Or is it such a coincidence that now they are out of Europe, he wants out?

3. He openly stated he would WALK away from the club with 24 hour. He didn't, therefore another "going against his word" event. If it was his intention to leave, then why appeal against the name change if he was going? Of course there is doubt as to if that appeal ever happened judging by things being tweeted (sorry, but thats going against your word again Mr A). In a similar fashion certain public officials have tweeted that no offical bids for the stadium were ever proposed.

I won't drag up the move to Melton and his previous business issues.

City will be better off rid of him. Many of their fans will not see this at the moment due to their league status (which he accredits to himself rather then the management and players).

Was never to be trusted and continues to hide behind "his word" which is clear means something different to him than the rest of the population.

Not forgetting the interview on Blunderside where he said he couldn't favour one RL team above the other and suggested merging, then loans Rovers £1m.

He is not going anyway City owe £80m to Allamhouse so he won't just write that off. He will want profit so someone will have to pay over £100m for a team who doesn't own the ground when there are other teams up for sale.
