As you teach English I'm surprised you don't know the difference between "infer" and "imply". Which rather ruins your whole argument.
All valid points. Perhaps people should also re visit the article claiming that the PL "refuse" to use the name change. That is not in fact what they say at all. It is simply a wishful interpretation put on their comments by a poor and lazy journalist with an agenda.
Then why does Wiki say it was £1? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assem_Allam#Hull_City "The deal was formally completed at 10.45 pm on 16 December 2010, with the club exchanging hands for the nominal fee of £1, but with Allam, and his son, Ehab committing to invest £30 million, as well as providing assurances for a further £10 million."
Nabisco (used to be National Biscuit Company but rebranded and achieved greater success) turn out some 320 million pounds of snack foods annually. Must have some fans, or there is one really fat bastard somewhere eating a **** load of biscuits. Steve Bruce perhaps?
They are customers not fans. If somebody brought a better biscuit at a cheaper price they'd switch immediately.
So if it was a lot cheaper to go watch another club, you'd switch along with everyone else, immediatly? You really should stop making analogies, you're rubbish at them. People still buy Heinz Baked Beans despite there being cheaper alternatives, hence why Heinz is doing ok. People like their stuff, pure and simple. It's not always about cost, some people like a thing and stick with a thing.
In 1985, Nabisco was bought by R.J. Reynolds, forming RJR Nabisco. After three years of mixed results, the company became one of the hotspots in the 1980s leveraged buyout mania. The company was in auction with two bidders: F. Ross Johnson, the company's president and CEO, and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, a private equity partnership. The company was sold to KKR in what was then the biggest leveraged buyout in history, described in the book Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco, and a subsequent film. Didn't change their name......
Something quite snappy about the brand "Heinz", so much better than the old "Heinz Noble and Company" it used to be, don't you think?
It wasn't an analogy. It was a comparison how there's a lot of difference between customers and fans. You are the one who thought it was an analogy. You should stop thinking. You are rubbish at it.
So a "Customer" works on the basis of cost and quality, but a "Fan" is driven only, or at least primarily by brand loyalty?
