The Allam's have pulled all of their funding from the club and have resigned the club from the league.

The Ferriby background staff are now trying to sort out the mess but the players have been recommended to find new clubs if possible.

Just read this. Allam is an utterly detestable man who should not be near any club's boardroom.

*slow hand clap* for all of you on here who were singing their praises and slapping Allam on the back after the village club, propped up purely with Allam's money, beat fan-owned Wrexham last month.

And this is were the FA should do something about this taking their money including the winnings from the FAT but yo leave the club in the lurch is....well absolutely disgraceful they should be banned from running or being involved in business again.

That's the risk clubs take when they spend way beyond their means. They enjoyed the success that spunking money up the wall got them, now they have to endure the misery.

I wonder if the 500 die hard Eastleigh fans are aware of this.

Watch them take their money and run if Hull get relegated,

Hull will sink like a stone and we could be playing them sooner than you think.

And there were many. Fortunately, I think a lot more football fans are coming round to our way of thinking. This sort of excrement-and-bust sequence happens too often and it should not be condoned, let alone celebrated.

I feel sorry for the supporters of North Ferriby as I did for the supporters of Portsmouth, being just one other example. However, they were the same fans who lapped up the success that was hollow-bought with little dissention, if any. Football clubs are community assets and should be run sustainably is my way of thinking. The Allams are a bunch of charlatans and should not be allowed near another football club.

I suspect it may be the FA who have initiated this as I always understood that you could not be a major director in 2 clubs in the pyramid. Maybe and I am just saying maybe here the visibility they have had recently may have led to them pulling their money out.

Nope, it was run by different Allams. Money ultimately from the same source though.

Only the football "powers that be" would miss that considering the "Allam" who owns "The Targers" was sat in the Ferriby directors box with a big grin on his face at the FAT final. I lived in Hull for 10 years and can't remember Allam being a very common name.

just think if they leave Ull they could be looking for a new club in the area.  Many people on here would still snap their hand off!!!!

They can stick their "Far Eastern markets potential" up their bottom. I'd rather be in the Conference.

Living a couple of miles from ferriby I have to feel gutted for the die hard supporters of their club. When town played them in a pre season friendly this season I went and chatted to a few of them in their lovely little clubhouse. A proper community club. And after having their big day out and success comes this. Absolutely don't deserve it. Pretty shite what the Allams are doing if true, why not just advertise the club for sale as an ongoing concern, Crikey the money is peanuts to that family but to the supporter it is everything.

Supporters are a hassle, they interfere, the moan, they often have crazy high expectations and so on. Not my opinion but I suspect that is how many of these money men see us. Allam won't care, much like the FA don't care about ripping fans off etc.

Allam will just see it as a couple of hundred, hardly a lot in his eyes. Another play thing he got bored with...I'd be very worried if I was a Hull fan...

Did anyone really expect this to have a happy ending?

The only reason Hull are not suffering the same fate after the name debacle is because so much money is tied up there and there's no other buyer on the horizon.

Fortunately I don't think that's going to be an issue for us.

It really needs an external body enforcing strict financial laws. I know it all gets very complicated very quickly but the general gist should be to sum up all your guaranteed and expected income from ticket sales, merch, sponsorship etc and not allow clubs to spend more than this on outgoings. If a rich owner wants to spend more from his own pocket that's fine, but they must put up that money in advance and place it in an escrow account that they cannot get back. It should not be possible for a club to fold simply because the current owners get bored.

One of the players who tweeted last night about the goings on has now apologised and admitted he was wrong.

NFU may well be operating on a reduced budget but no suggestion they have asked to be demoted
