Does anyone know if they have seeked investment in the club from its members or outside investors? Are clubs like Exeter owned through a supporters trust? As many point out they envy Exeter.

One place off the play off positions with a game in hand, two new stands built recently, can’t think why Scunthorpe fans would be envious of Exeter.

Rumour I heard is that in the summer this EFL loan becomes a grant, and then doesn’t need to be repaid.

He was very lucky he wasn’t sacked after a spectacular collapse in results two years ago, coupled with a club record 8-0 defeat. Promotion last season went some way to restoring his reputation, and he won’t be short of job offers. The statement he put out today showed a lot of class, I wish him well.

[TwoWrights]

I’m sceptical about ALL owners. As for Allam, name change, removal of all concession prices, eviction of sports group from the arena, trying to sell the trampolines of said sports group even though they belonged to the sports group,when challenged Junior said ‘I’m doing what’s morally right for me’ telling fans to die, the only Premier League club to spend a fund dedicated soley for away fans on facilities at their own stadium, every other club used it for cheaper away travel or tickets, refusal to engage with the Trust which is a FL requirement, telling fans they were irrelevant as the bulk of income came from the Sky and the Premier League, a change of tune followed.
The Allams time is perfectly described by Charles Dickens, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the season of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us …

[TwoWrights]

The Allams are a complex family, their way or no way. As per the OP they’ve poured millions in for the university and hospitals, and ran a very tight financial ship at the football club. That said the old man is deluded and obsessed with Hull Tigers, and by his own admission is not a football fan. Sad really as it could/should have ended so differently , but good riddance quack!

8 be built on.
Maybe it’s worse as Coolsilk, not SUFC, own the land the apartments will* be built on.

* Could, may, building to start later this year, next year, next decade.

Why stop at one video Alcy, when 20 per day is the norm. “One of mine?”. None of them were yours!!

Just as the James O’Brien one isn’t Gurnys, but posted by him.
BTW: any of you ever stopped to wonder WHY I suddenly started flooding the NF side with videos I knew would get up your noses, yet never defended them?

It had the desired effect, eventually, esp. when BigJ etc joined in.

If you don’t believe me, ask Matt what I said to him a year or more back.

It didn’t bother me, it was just UGDV. :-)

Anyone have an idea how much the loan is? Hull’s new Turk, replacing two turds, has paid their EFL loan back. Rumour at the time was it was for 500k, but it turns out it was actually £2.5 million!

Better to go away then and leave it as it was. Far from good, but at least it was there. Users then have a choice to use it or not.

We aren’t non-league? We could be.
“Wolfie” was critical of Steve Wharton and the same with Peter Swann (has the penny dropped yet?)
Never did he once praise Scunthorpe United through the “glory years”- his dislike of Brian Laws has been well documented.
It’s a wonder he hasn’t been more prominent on the site in the last couple of years,gloating of their decline.

Incorrect, he praised the financial prudence of Wharton, as against, at that time, clubs like Hull and Cardiff. Fact

Oblivion? As I said on another post football does exist outside the PL & EFL, the National League has clubs arguably bigger than 20 current league 2 teams.

Nobody wants to get relegated but you are such drama queens.

I think very few of the twenty ‘smaller’ league teams would swap league status with these ‘bigger’ clubs. In fact I’m of the opinion the figure is zero.

I like a good football protest, heaven knows I’ve seen enough of them*, but ultimately they’re a waste of time. The owner usually goes at a time of their choosing, and on their own terms. Allam out!

*My favourite one was away to Torquay when a City fan jumped from the terrace and slapped a Sack Dolan sticker (I still have one as a souvenir ) on Terry Dolan’s bald patch. Dolan didn’t realise and it was there for some time.
