Hull City: Nick Barmby remains suspended after Allams meeting (updated)

“This came to me today, and anyone think it is plausible?

The Allams decided some weeks before the end of the season that they wanted to replace Nick with a manager with more experience.

Being that (I think) Ehab Allem has a link with Billy Davies, he sounded him out about becoming our manager. Billy would love the chance, but will not work with Adam (Adam sacked him while they were at Derby and had quite a war of words).

The Allems then look for any excuse to get rid of Adam, and also have to come up with a good reason to sack Nick.

Just a theory, but one worth thinking about, as I believe (sadly) Nick will be gone and Billy Davies will be the next manager.

On the subject of Merlin's posts, leave the chap alone. I find some of them very funny and witty, and, most importantly, I believe he is thankful for what the Allams have done for the club fiancially, but his recent comments are nothing more simple than sheer disgust at the way they have conducted themselves this week; and I believe he is right.”

“if NB does go Darren Ferguson would be a better fit than some of the names been bandied about and the MU connection will be strengthened, in fact they will have to start calling them Hull west !

“How the f*** are we the "laughing stock of football"?

99.99% of the football community could give a flying fig about what is happening here.

The other 0.01% are a posting on here whilst crying into their Hull City PJ's.

I assume you're an adult? Next time you write one of your posts, before pressing submit, read it over and consider your age.

Laughing stock? ***!!”

“n1shy2012, Somehow i don't think you will follow NB and walk if he goes, but hopefully it's good bye and good riddance.Do you really believe this stuff you post on here, IE liking the Allams to foreign dictators, Amazing! Managers come and go, a true fan would never dream of walking whatever happens at the club. After their level of investment the Allams have bought the right to the final say, unless your planning to buy them out in the near future ? Some people on here are never happy and constantly moan on and on about the owners their motives/finances, the manager/team and the stadium/pitch. Being positive about club is my focus, Waggy to Windass to Fryatt My city glass is always half full and it's nearly time to add another half UTT”

IF city have a good start next season and start banging in a few goals the fans will be chanting the name of the new manager IF Barmby happens to go..

i Predict we will have Brian Horton and Nicky Barmby in charge.....maybe !"

been saying that for a week NB so reminds me of a good friend of my Dads with his self belief, determination and absolute conviction on how football should be played.
My Dads mate had Peter Taylor to help him, NB needs Brian Horton maybe getting rid of AP was the trade off, time for the egos to be put aside and everyone pulling together for the benefit of the club and the city.
If NB stays and BH or another experienced Hull man who is not trying to get the managers job comes in to help him (ruling out PB) then I predict we will be a upper mid table PL team in 2 years and players will be flocking to play for the Barcelona of the North !

“Case after case for the lawyers. Sign of a bad employer. Crystal. Once would've been my dream to work for City - wouldn't touch it with a bargepole now.

As for investment - there's no money this summer and the pass prices are going up 4x the RPI. Who's doing the investment there? Where are the parachute payments in the accounts? What are the terms of the loan? With no fixed payback date it is an unfair permanent liability on the club.

Nigel Pearson cited broken promises as his reason for leaving. Whose broken promises? Well they weren't Doris the cleaner's were they?

In whom do you trust?”

“drinking Polar Ice and laying on the beach all afternoon does not lead to rational thoughts !
Still think NB has been treated badly and will still have to reconsider more due to the economic downturn than anything (though NBs shabby treatment does play a major part) how many games we take in next season, why oh why can't things at Hull City ever run smoothly and we kick on as a club ?

“You know, I have posted in here for several years and it is so transparent when a poster clones himself and then posts supportive posts.

In the Duffen era the same thick twots ,ingled with genuine alternative views castigated my views - and then totally disappeared when the chairman hismself resigned citing the very criticisms I had leveled as reasons for his departure.

Franky I could not care less about the childish macinations. I can respect those with genuine alternative views but those that post accusations that anyone with an alternative opinion must be an "egg chaser" are laughable - especially since I have never been to a rigby game. I invest in the club every year and have supported them home and away all my life.

Even if I wasn't a Hull City supported I recognise that the allams are buffoon way out of their depth in trying to run a football club. Opposing them and their approach is not disloyal to Hull City. It is about setting standards of behaviour in owners and letting them know that Hull City is not thiers to mess with. Hull City is about the fans and until they get that message they are even more deluded than I thought.

Yes-- stop reading my posts. Please do stop - and dont waste your time posting silly comments that do not contribute anything to the argument. There's good chaps.”

“HCFCsboro great posts, I see Merlin is still posting silly comments, I don't read comments from him anymore, so you replying like you did says to me that he still talks inane drivel. I posted a few days ago when the story of Barmby and the Allams first came out that we should all hang on and see what happens. As for us being the laughing stock?????? what planet is he on, as you say HCFC when we win our first few games of next season all this will be forgotten. Storm in a rea cup. UTT”
