Much as I have no time for Hudgell, I agree entirely with what you say. He is very much a Rovers man, unlike Allam who I think is only looking to see what's in it for himself.

What it wont mean is an influx of top players as we already spend up to the cap limit ( I think) & transfer fees are part of the cap. So apart from clearing debts it just secures the future of the club & allows long term development of the site which the Allam family should rightly benefit,
I would imagine his story would be something along these lines. This is the bit for me that's a bit strange, however.
He needs the KC to mortgage against to develop the "Sporting Village" around the West Park site. Where will the funds come from for the CP Sporting Village? How much could he borrow against the lands around Caravan Park and could he even borrow against CP itself, as that isn't freehold but, like the KC, has a third party as owner?

Have people forgotten so soon what a complete looney-tune this guy sounded like whenever he he gave an interview about his plans for the KC?
If you were a Rovers fan you'd not be quite as down on him, realistically. While his attempts to get the KC were unrealistic and his handling of the media erratic, it was never in any way ominous for us.
Motives, meh - it's results that matter. If our interests converge, we'll be happy whatever. If...
It's not like Pearson is doing it for his health, and he's currently considered infallible by a good number of Hull posters.
I'll wait to say what he says, if there's anything in it - couple of whispers there might be. Mind, t'internet rumours feed themselves.

Here is my theory allams sum were involved with fc without been noticed,it is not him building the hotel at the side of kr however involved with a lot of things happening with regards to the siemens contract, this is were the hotel comes into it, allam buys kr fc can't play at KC after next season building craven park up to be a much better stadium then Pearson hands over to Assam fc and there goes the merger in two seasons time.....
