Absolutely, it is still the people who decide who is in charge of doing what the City of London, media moguls and major campaign donors tell them.

Letter come to light this morning:



Council response on the Airco for all FB group.

What a disgusting family they are.

I don't hope City go down, I just want these two maniacs gone. They're the biggest threat to our club since Lloyd.

He can say what he likes about "his responsibility" bu the fact that such groups have been using the facility over the years simply means that he is responsible, as evidenced by previous performance (i.e. allowing such groups to use Airco).

He cannot legally just turf them out and tell them to find alternatives. He is acting in a highly discriminatory manner and should be brought to book

I might be missing the point here but why do the council have to do anything to help Allam in his quest to get a category 2 training facility? He seems to be threatening (and carrying out) to change the use of a council owned facility if they don’t provide him with the means to do it elsewhere.

Isn’t this just the same as Tesco’s threatening to turn Costello into a new store if the council don’t ‘assist in’ building them one elsewhere?

I’m pretty sure there 2 rugby clubs, an ice hockey team and countless other smaller sporting enterprises that would love the same assistance and none of those take part in a sport that generates the amounts of cash the football teams do. Surely a business valued at £x00m pounds that is in private hands doesn’t need financial help of any kind.

Being a Rovers fan I always saw the whole Allam thing as a bit of an amusing side show that was fuelling your paranoia. There was no way he could throw you out realistically but it rattled the cages. Now I’m not so sure , the man thinks he can do anything and this latest escapade only strengthens that belief. I can now see FC being next on his hit list, and even as a fan of the ‘enemy’ I would back your lot over him.

The "manipulation" of the financial statement to show a six fold increase in direct costs of hosting RL matches and the increasing of beer / food prices for RL matches (to effectively reduce sales to exaggerate the drop in rugby related income) are clear evidence he want Hull FC out.

We all know he is not a man of his word, acts like a petulant little child and now he has gonr to far imo

That's a good balanced view from an outsider, I say an outsider but the stadium belongs to Hull not west Hull or the Allams.
Thanks for your support I have a feeling we may need support from other fans/clubs to stop he mad man.

I don't think you would be amused IF Dr Allam recalled his £1M loan
from HKR...

As a matter of interest could you let HKR fans know exactly what is still owing on this 'loan'. I am sure one of the many experts on this board that know the internal workings of Rovers finances could help.

You don't need to be an expert. You can tell simply by looking at the financial statements.

I am sure if the hkr fans were interested, they could do the same

This perfectly sums up my thoughts.

allam is just a bully. Unfortunately he seems to me like one of these people who will live until he's about 110 which means we're stuck with his as no one will buy the club with it's current debts.

I think this exchange of letters shows the full story without need for additional embellishment:

Council to Allam:








Ehab to Council:






Council to Allam:

And the statement form the Premier League which exposes the lies the Allams have been peddling regarding the date on which the audit must take place - the PL don't set it at all, the Allams themselves request it.







Perhaps they don't want to request a date - it appears that the new pitch in the Airco will be too small anyway and will not meet the FA requirements.

Maybe the need to install the 3g pitch , is to receive funding as soon
as possible.... ie for this season..

So if the Allams go ahead and start works will the council lock them out as being in breach of contract?

Should that then lead to removal of the control of the whole stadium due to yet more evidence that the SMC under the Allam's control is not fit for purpose and deliberately attempting to derail the use of community assets on top of the pretty obvious shenanigan's with regard to the financial manipulation to seize control of the assets.
One could only hope that the council once all avenues of compromise/communication have being followed start to wade into this nasty unscrupulous power crazed piece of excrement with all the might they can muster.

Don't often (ever) agree with bumpy, but on this occasion.....

Sorry about this but can't read that can you make it a bit bigger its important everyone reads the last line. Also a Question does anyone know where the letters came from are the letters a leak from the Council or was it the allam's that put them out, anyone know they are certainly extremely pertinent and with the FA's statement point to the football Club being run by control freaks who make the rules up to suit themselves.

You and me both CCS. If you go to Not606 and look at the Hull City page, you'll find most of the posters on there think the same as us.
