He's made mistakes,as he's readily admitted in the past,but overall the good far outweighs the bad....he needed extra investment in the club when he sold his interests to Duffen/Bartlett in 2007,that was the plan.Duffen messed up whilst the club was in the Prem,long after Pearson had gone....

Brown got City into the Premier League,making him the most successful manager in the club's history.

And as far as Allam is concerned,a lot of the comments regarding mergers were in relation to his beneficial nature in regards to Hull's sporting teams ("i couldn't buy one club without buying the other" etc) and were taken out of context.His loan to Rovers was an example of that.Anyway,he'd be under no illusion if he tried to purchase the club of it's history,significance to the community and it's identity......but i doubt the previous regime wouldn't have held back in selling him the club on the back of some quotes delivered off the cuff during an interview....

Some of the paranoia exhibited on this board in relation to Allam is alarming.

We'll have to wait and see I guess. Hope it pans out for the best - hope I won't be able to bring this thread back up like I could have the Agar or Gleeson thread and say 'told you so'.

On to Sunday now, Come on you ulllll

Some of us remember the club at its worst under Lloyd and Wilby so excuse us for not wanting to get our fingers burned again.. Once bitten and all that.

If Allam had wanted it he would have bought it, he has more disposable wealth than Pearson, do you think Kath & co would have cared who bought it, no all they watned was to sell.

Love the consiparcy theories though

Have to say the more I think about it the more I have to agree in that Assem Allam seems to thrive in the public attention and his ego wouldn't let anyone else get the glory and adulation of buying a club and being a silent owner.

You mean like Agar and Moa falling out hence why he wouldn't sign his new contract

Glad i'm not the only one who thinks this...

@HWS i understand that,but Allam hasn't done anything in my eyes to warrant the attitude some people have on here,and anyway,he has no involvement at FC,only it's neighbours...

As I have said, the two are not comparable, Lloyd was a chancer, always had been, AP is an established business man. The negativity astounds me, maybe people would have been happier muddling along under Kath and the other unambitious BOD.
