worst case scenario is we're swapping a whinging rich bloke for another whinging rich bloke, surely?

I am sure a Russian billionaire could find a much better investment in football than Hull city, but all it will be is to say he is handing over control to his son.
In any case the KC is owned by the Hull CC so Hull FC have nothing to worry about even if Hull City were eventually taken over.
What is likely to happen though is If Hull City do consolidate in The Premiership over the next two or three years it is likely work will begin to increase the KC capacity by 5000.

Who's going to pay for that increase? The council won't and why would Allam invest in something he doesn't own?

Withernsea precured "sleeping tablets" terrify me!!!!

For Sale notice going up at the KC.

Allams are selling hull city over name Change if they don't in appeal over name Change

Up for sale for 5 months apparently.

Did he put the announcement on MySpace?

Ha, just listening to his ramblings and I reckon he has pocketed millions and now just wants out, using the name change as an excuse.

It would be nice to think that the council could take back control of the SMC, but I can't see that happening (unless AP buys city, of course).
