I find it baffling that Hull City have chosen to respond to The Athletic publicly, and in the fashion, they've done so...

Pathetic and childish way to react to a piece of Journalism that again shows the brutal way the Allam's have used the club as a cash cow. #hcafc

Quote Hull City's response;

"It is a shame that, whilst all in the football world should be pulling together to ensure the ongoing viability of football clubs and the game in general, this journalist appears to seek scandal where none exists." #hcafc

"He will no doubt publish this story, which is nothing more than a trouble-making cheap shot". #hcafc

Hull City's email response to The Athletic. Mind blown at how pathetic and belittling the demeanour of this. Talk about a lack of professionalism!

Absolutely pains me to still see our club going from it's most successful era, to being run into the ground by these clowns. #hcafc

Club captain Eric Lichaj asked to take almost a 50% cut to stay at the club.

The Allam's continue to hold out for a sale of the club valued higher than £30m, and as high as £46m according to sources. #hcafc

Peter Grieve attended the 2016 play-off final and had made two agreements: in the event of a Hull win, and a different price in the event of a defeat. The proposed deal, including incentive, reached £130m. #hcafc

A disagreement between Steve Bruce and Ehab Allam in February 2016 over whether a member of the sports science team should get paid leave when a family member became unwell. After the argument, Bruce was "sacked" in the heat of the moment before Ehab Allam changed his mind #hcafc

Conversations continued between Peter Grieve's American consortium and Hull, and Ehab Allam attempted to ensure that Steve Bruce would NOT remain manager in the event of a takeover. #hcafc

Last Saturday, Hull Daily Mail were denied access to the KCOM Stadium to cover Hull City’s home game with Charlton due to what was perceived to be negative coverage. They are now barred from home games and not allowed access to head coach Grant McCann or the playing squad #hcafc

Hull will this summer only spend up to £7,000 per week on salaries for new summer signings, with suggestions offers are even more likely at around £5,000 per week. #hcafc

Industry experts say the club could be worth only £10-15m in the event of relegation. #hcafc
