Can I just ask if Rovers fans would be happy to have Allam involved with their club?
Well, it's a difficult one. I don't pay enough attention to Hull to fully understand why you all mistrust him so much apart from his fanciful Melton ideas.
The "soft loan"/"gift" doesn't appear to have been a major issue but without having detailed insider knowledge of thos meetings and the ramifications behind them it's impossible to judge.
He doesn't appear to have made such a bad job of running his own business all these years.
I suppose the real question is at what threat of a merger would we be? Let's be honest, a merger would mean Rovers being consumed by Hull, but whilst Pearson is at Hull there's absolutely nothing that I can see in it for him in geting into bed with Allam. The only way I can see that scenario panning out would be for Allam to buy Rovers and then for Pearson to sell Hull to Allam when he feels he's taken that business as far as he can.
Is Allam that well off? And perhaps more tellingly, why would a multi millionaire business person sink a huge chunk of his money that he's spent a lifetime buliding up into a sport that hardly anyone has ever made any money at?
Unless he's completely mental, that would explain it.
I really don't think I could have shoe horned more conjecture and speculation into that post. Go me!
