I will raise this at cabinet on Monday as I believe he is overstepping the mark. This I believe is an attempt to force the councils hand, what might be helpful as a weapon for you is the localism bill, half way down the second page may be a way forward if he tries to force a sale. locality.org.uk/wp-content/uploa ... sm-Act.pdf I do support you on this.

2 No

3 No - edit Phil Webster as an unlikely latecomer





Originally the SMC was set up as a separate entity. But if you read the accounts, they claim the SMC is only a going concern because of the financial support provided by Hull City and Allamhouse. There is clear opportunity for the SMC to charge City what they like for having their photos in the KC with no impact on the Allams - it's left pocket - right pocket for them, then to charge us as a third party the same. It sucks, but I'm sure AP will have done what he can contractually. In my view only the council as owners can have any influence.



The banner is a good idea but will be confiscated. Doubt the City-loving HDM will get involved. I'll contact the League Express and Yorkshire Post, see if they're interested in the story.

They were the same with the previous dodgy regime, terrified of upsetting them in case they are denied access to the team/stadium. When they upped and left they stuck the boot in. As you say the HDM are spineless when it comes to investigating individuals like Allam

If people could keep any unjustified comments to themselves, I would be grateful.

I guess people will be able to confirm the truth of this tomorrow. I'll report on the Sterling/Kingston Suite

Thank you Phil. A question. If the SMC went into administration, would the existing arrangements be null and void? If so, and new arrangements were to be made, presumably the Allams could play hardball re their own terms. Such a shame a council gift, which has seen a resurgence in both teams' profile, is now being cynically used as a tool to drive the personal commercial agenda of an individual.

I'll double check the agar toilet.

I'll check the Sharm el Sheikh suite

I'm fed up of reading too so decided to join



I don't know what these Allams think are. Are they forgetting that its a shared stadium. At the time we moved there. City were in Div3 and we were still in SL obviously. But I'm pretty sure we treated them fairly.



It's a joke. If they want to hold control of the stadium then let them build their own.

If the SMC were to go bang, then I am of the opinion it would be re-tendered and re-negotiated, I can't see how Mr Allam could play hardball as it would leave City homeless, but Adam could well be offered it as he has a record for delivery with the SMC, I have just spoken to the Leader who intends to get Darryl Stephenson to call Mr Allam in the morning.



If this behavior by City's owners is true it is a sad day for the City, when Icons like Johnny can be so shabbily treated, John is a personnal friend and has done more for this city than all the millionaires put together.

Very good, please keep us informed.
