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. |

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. |

Knowing Ehab, he would only entertain the possibility of buying Hull FC if he thought they could run it as successfully as current owners and ultimately achieve success with it. As for the talk of buying the stadium, if they bought it (which not sure they would to be honest) they would be quite happy with Hull FC continuing to share even if they do not own the club, as its an important part of the revenue stream for the Stadium. |

Rumour was they had bought the club (not Kath's shares) for £3m and that they were providing transfer funds to sign a couple of players immediately. |

I don't understand it either. He would be an improvement to our relativley sparce backs and provide sound cover at wing, centre and FB. He doesn't have a club and has SL experience.  |

Only thing I can think of is not wanting to commit to using the quota space up until all possibilities had been looked at? |

Maybe that's the case, Paul. Can't really think of any other reason why!? |

I know it's confusing but he would count as a non fed trained player, we only have one spot left.
So it would to be only one of them. |

The BOD have apparently turned down offers north of £3m before, so not sure why they'd settle for less now.
We have the cash to sign the two players mentioned without a takeover.
Seems unlikely to me, but stranger things have happened I guess. |
