Heard the same thing, big money take over! I don't believe it myself.

but kath isn't the majority shareholder thoug is she?

No

I'm not convinced that would be beneficial.....remember he last time we had joint owners of both clubs...?

I hope not, it'll be some far fetched plan to buy the stadium aswell and unite. When was the last time that happened!!!!!???!!!!
Then when the council won't sell we'll be cast aside like a used condom. Say what you want about Kath and Co. I'm happy in the knowledge that there'll be an Hull FC long after I've gone for my grandkids and their grandkids to support.
Better the devil you know.

I agree, I don't believe it myself and hope it's not true.

a friend of mine was in the big smoke over the weekend watching united...and he text me saying that there was a whisper that the allams wanted to buy fc and 2 signings were planned...could be complete bollox but theres no smoke without as they say...

Yes there is smoke without fire, it happens when people lie.

well, since when was you in the know??? as far as im aware, your in sydney on the net 24/7 when you should be outa nd about sunning yaself in coogee....

Nothing to do with been in the know, you used the quote 'no smoke without fire' and I put, in context of using that quote, there is when people lie.

And coogees gone downhill now, to many backpackers.

yeah but that bloke was a clown and a total fantasist.

who's to say these two aint...lets be honest, he wants to make the kc 38000 seater and charge £10 to get in...that for me, is completly not going to happen....

So are the Allams.

I remember the same euphoria from some fans when the disaster that was Lloyd took charge.

Dont really see or hear any 'euphoria' tbh
But could be a good thing for us.
Surely to bring real sucsess to the rugby club would take a tiny fraction of the investment allready thrown at City. Could have signed an entire squad for what he has just spent on 2 strikers.
Warrington have had their big money backer, why not us ?

You don't have to be in the know to see that talk of the Allams buying the club is probabally , it's been proved time and time again that a lot of people in the city have nothing better to do then make up rumours and stories.

Me neither..£3 million I heard, I reckon they would want more, plus why would they want rid, we are one of the few clubs making dosh!

Ben jefferies might no sammutt

This years rumours deserve an award, they have been legend, some right crackers

What he said.

There are two inconsistencies with this rumour anyway:

1. Buying out Kath wouldn't give them control of the club, so why would they bother?
2. The figure being touted (£3m) is too much for just Kath's shares and short of figures already declined for purchase of the entire club.

Overall it seems like nonsense. Guess we'll find out in fairly short order.

What happened to Oliver Wilkes?

Exactly, don't the Weatherill's hold more shares than Hetherington?

It was the sign of somebody earlier in the thread praying that the Allams would take over. Clearly that really was someone praying they don't and I was badly mistaken.



The arguments you describe here are amazingly similar to those put up in the halcyon days of David Lloyd's tenure. Still that was a long time ago and we should forget how critically close we were to having no club. After all the club is being run so badly now we've barely got 2 halfpennies to rub together.
