It has been stated in the press that the stadium and land would have been the City's contribution to the sports village and he would be investing 80 million(of other peoples money).

Try fook all. I 'm not against development of the site but what they're suggesting is just crazy to me.

wishful thinking, small club mentality from the east, who'd have thunk it eh!

Precisely,i'm quite staggered by the number of people who are up in arms with the council over this. Every single time i have heared Allam talk he has come out with something ridiculous,all his arguements seem ill thought out at best. To stand and pose for a pic at welton holding what was supposed to be plans of a possible stadium development in the hope it would put pressure on the coincil could have been thought up by a 10 year old child.

His involvement with Hull City has never sat right with me,when you look at the facts,he has ploughed 1/3 of his puported wealth into a football club which is pretty much at the top of what it's likely to acheive,he'll never get his money back. His only hope was aquiring this land,It's been an expensive gamble for him in my eyes and one he's thankfully lost. I've no doubt he'll soon put the club up for sale citing the council holding him back as the reason and they'll be painted the bad boys. The swimming pool and ice rink story really show him for what he is.Go back to doing what you're good at Mr Allam.

You can try and dismiss the rest of the post and label it as an anti FC post if you like. What it was was a post script comment and in no way did it say that I thought he was. Can you catagorically say its not possible?



I don't mind a debate with opinions, conjecture and all that but it seems healthy debate is dead in your world.

I Agree with your first point but as for realising the Allams long term plans, what plans. They turn up to meetings without any. When they councilors quiz them about their plans they change their minds and I quote, "talk in riddles." (maybe thats the Eygptian in him not sure.)

Never met the bloke but what I've heard I just have no confidence in him. It just stinks of David Lloyd to me.

Good post

I can, categorically state, it will not happen.







I try not to debate with imbeciles with a hidden agenda, they have a tendancy to drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.

There is another aspect to bear in mind: Local Councilors are elected officials and as such they have a legal duty to husband their Council's assets in a proper manner. If the council "sold" the KC and adjoining land for the paltry sum mentioned, they could quite conveivably be held legally responsible for 'abuse in public office' charges. The penalties for which include imprisonment and/or seizure of personal assets

Fair enough, and if he has turned up for meetings without concrete plans then he has got what he deserved.

However, all of the evidence i have seen of him so far is that he has followed up his plans and put his money where his mouth is. University, Hullensions, Hull City, Rovers etc.

Maybe im too trusting!

yeah mate, it has already been mentioned but you are quite right.

If true, that's just not realistic.
