Mike hall has got a book coming out

Tue Nov 11, 2014 7:11 pm

Called 'The Mike Hall Story' - how modest :lol:

Includes 8 chapters about

Sam Hammam
Peter Ridsdale
Vincent Tan

and other goings on at our club.

Remember he was on the board on 2 separate occasions through some very interesting times..

I know some aren't keen on him or PMG, but it would be interesting to hear his side of the story.

Blood sucking parasite.

In it for the money and nothing else.

Annis he might have been an egg-chaser, but he was also in the board meetings of years, he'd have a very good idea of what was going on.

If he made money out of the club then he must be cleverer than Tan and Hammam but maybe not as clever as Ridsdale ;)

Other people involved have had their say on what went on, whilst he and Paul Guy have kept very quiet, so him putting his side across will balance things out.

:laughing6: I'm not lending him any money Carl.

Just pointing out he's got a book out and that it would be interesting to see what he's got to say.

I thought books were encouraged on this forum. :D :thumbup:

Paul Guy had the money in the first place to put in, to make more money :thumbright: But Hall had Hmmmmm?

Not a fan of Hall but if so he was one of MANY blood sucking parasites at the time so bit unfair to single one out of a group, some need to look through two eyes.

they are all in it for the money. wake up will you.

can't trust any of them.

Not sure if this is part of an interview for the BBC or if it's an extract from his book?

mike hall made nothing out of cardiff city at all. been down this road many times before and no one on here has ever been able to put figures to their accusations.
sam has the money he lent on our behalf back plus interest having taken massive consultancy fees for himself and then pay offs for him and his brother and thats fine.
pmg take the money back that they lent the club to complete the ccs and they are blood sucking parasites :roll:

Re: Mike hall has got a book coming out

Wed Nov 12, 2014 12:24 pm

At the risk of getting myself banned....

How is Mike Hall a blood sucking parasite?
How do you know how much he personally invested?
PMG's money kept this club going whilst the likes of Hammam and Ridsdale were bleeding it dry.

Should he not receive a payment?

I didn't particularly like having rugby men at the club but I do get fed up with the continual and disproportionate PMG bashing on here with no foundation in the accusation, no figures to back anything up and no recognition that PMG bankrolled this club for a considerable amount of time. PMG were instrumental in getting the stadium built.

Carl,

Could you provide some substantiation for your view that Mike Hall is a blood sucking parasite please?

Re: Mike hall has got a book coming out

Think he might need the money ,

Re: Mike hall has got a book coming out

Wed Nov 12, 2014 1:02 pm

We all know Hall won't be allowed to talk about the really juicy stuff! It might be an intriguing read but get the feeling it could be quite self absorbed.

that's what I am implying Steve which is why I put an IF in the sentence but really cannot see why he should be singled out or is Carl protecting his new found mate.

Re: Mike hall has got a book coming out

Wed Nov 12, 2014 5:23 pm

i'd read this, would love to know whats been going on in the board room

and i dont really care if hes "in it for the money" anyone who makes a book is in it for the money really,

i think sam and tan are both lying theiving *****, however i'd still read a book by them, to see what their perspective on the whole situation was.

Steve, if as you say Hall made nothing out of Cardiff City then how much did he personally put into the stadium build ?

How much was he worth before and after the stadium build and retail park ?

If he made nothing from it, did he do it out of love for Cardiff City?

Is Hall a football fan then?

Very generous person to lend the club so much money to complete a stadium build and a retail park and not make any money whatsoever. He was on the board twice at the club and stood down once due to a conflict of interest.

Re: Mike hall has got a book coming out

Wed Nov 12, 2014 9:39 pm

correct me if i am wrong but pmg have got the rent from the retail park which is worth 4m at least a year!! that was part of the deal, along with premier seating income? that part of deal as been finished and city have the income now from premier seats but not retail park, someone somewhere within pmg have probably and still are making a mint out of city still! :old:

well carl if i know what the deal was! surely the educated accountants on here can work out if they are making money?? and i am sure there are other aspects of the deal (house sport) ect ect that they had their grubby hands in?? they were just opertunists helped by the stupidity of the ridler that gave them the chance to screw city!! :thumbup:

ps huddersfield and others got screwed same way regarding the land owned by club! opertunists put pennies in but got millions out!! :o

Carl

You make this unfounded comment about Mike Hall which is probably actionable by him against you and this board as libel yet you didn't answer my question about whether you feel the same way about Michael Isaac who charged the club 25% interest on a loan for some time when others such as PMG,Sam and Steve Borley we're charging far less for the same service.
Is there a reason for your lack of condemnation of MI who milked the club for money at a time of crisis when others didn't?

how much did pmg pay the council for the land then carl which then went toward the cost of building the stadium. how much did it cost pmg to develop the land and build all the buildings on the retail park.
without pmg there would have been no stadium full stop.
always amazes me how you campaigned for sam to get his money back plus interest after wasting millions of pounds of money yet the one guy who has used his money to benefit the club shouldent make a penny in your eyes
sam dident have the money or a business plan to take the club forward you need to get over it

Re: Mike hall has got a book coming out

Thu Nov 13, 2014 3:53 pm

The sooner you all realise that our club has been used as a f**k jar by all those mentioned above over the past 20 years and beyond the better.

"My guy fucked us less than your guy!"

Seriously lads, they're all as guilty as each other. Bottom line is none of them had the club's best interests at heart.

You said earlier in the thread that Mike Hall made nothing,

Pmg including Mike Hall made money, that's my point.

It is not about them making money, I have nothing against anyone making money when they put money in, it is how they get their hands on the deal and who was shafted along the way which makes my blood boil.

Re: Mike hall has got a book coming out

Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:58 pm

Carl, so basically what you are now saying is that you are upset by the methods used by PMG, Peter Ridsdale and Michael Isaacs to oust Sam Hammam(which I agree were hardly the most honourable of methods)and nothing really to do with PMG making money ( which was pointed out to you when you first raised the subject ages ago you had misunderstood financially).
I am still puzzled why you refuse to be critical of Michael Isaac.What link does he have to this message board?
