They have recruited well and seem to have a team spirit which across all sports is important. Totally opposite to last time

| Anyone know how Allam's "wealth" is calculated, ie his Sunday Times rich list value?
The consolidated accounts of Allamhouse Limited which includes:
City
Allam Marine
Allam Developments (property)
SMC
Show net worth of only £8m. Guessing his wealth must be based on other assets, maybe overseas.

Allam marine combined assets estimated at a little over £169m + £246m Liabilities and he allegedly has a personal property and assets portfolio of over £65m.
Must also have a few quid stashed away under the mattress.

| City also get about £45m from the premier league and around £10m in gate receipts.
I guess that won't even cover the wages!

He also said, if he didnt get the freehold of the KC he'd move the football club to Melton.
He didn't do that either

Calculated? Your faith in the media truly is touching.
He's probably got a cash ISA or a load of bitcoins or summat.
And accountancy seems often to be about supplying information that is accurate rather than meaningful or, y'know, [iinformative[/i.
Hull FC's losses of recent years, by themselves, tell us next to nowt about how you're doing.
If Allam does walk, and he's been pretty unambiguous, it'll be interesting. How attractive would City be to buyers? On the one hand, the PL is BIG and they're looking reasonably secure right now. On the other, opportunities for further growth would seem limited - the step-up to Champions League super-club status is remote to say the least. And like most, they still run at a loss (I think).
His refusal to allow anybody to question his business decisions and his point that this is a free country, so he can do what he wants with his club, was an unwise juxtaposition.
The 'look at my CV for comfort' argument, confuses success with infallibilty. A determination to continue is one thing, an intolerance of dissenting voices quite another.
Also there's arguably an implicit criticism or questioning of the business acumen of the leaders of other clubs for not seeing the potential of the Norwich Canaries or the Sunderland Blackcats.

| I seriously fail to see how he can walk away. The losses City have inccured will have come at a price. I suspect that they are being covered by a "loan" from the good Dr. This will be a loan at a nice rate of interest and one that potential new investors will have to cover. Now he could walk away as promised and leave a massive debt or he could walk away and leave himself millions out of pocket. I suspect (can't think why) that he will not leave with his pockets empty.
Now look at HCAFC as a business. They have next to no assets other than the playing squad. They have no ground to sell. They have in effect got very little. Their position in the PL is far from secure. Ignore their position (currently 10th) they are just 5 points (two losses) from the relegation trap door. Ok GD is reasonable but a quick loss of form and confidence and they will be deep in the mire.
For me its all bluster from Allam and one that makes him look stupid to put it mildly. Its not his club at all. He is simply servicing the debt at the moment a debt that as I say will not be effecting his pockets in the long term.
I on the other hand am simply as the predicted fall out is starting to happen. City fans can not say they were not warned by any self respecting HFC fan. I just hope they have a club to support when it all calms down.

| I doubt you'd ever get Richard Branson or Bill Gates saying "my business decisions cannot be questioned", they probably actively welcome counter opinions and ideas, which is why he's worth quite a few quid (in comparative terms) and those individuals are worth billions.
Confidence and Self-Belief are great traits in business, blind arrogance and stubbornness are not.

| I heard today that Mr Allam charged life for a kid charity £1600 to fix the door on hull city's changing room as someone broke it at last friday nights boxing, apparently it was a lock & one hinge, what an utter 2@ he is! its a charity how much money does he think they make.

fair enough then, it was just the way you worded it - 'i heard today' that made me think it was a rumour. can't see the hull mail running this as a story they seem to be in their 'love in' phase with him at the moment

It is a ridiculous amount of money to charge hoggy's charity for a repair on a changing room door, its a kids charity that money could help a family in need for weeks that they help, i know its out of order whoever caused the damage but £1600 Allam makes my shoite itch!

| And don't mention the stadium's emergency light system 'repair' bill.
I've just mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.
