    The mods flagged him with us at the moment he registered again.

    He's helped highlight the fact that we base our actions on activity, not reputation so he's not totally wasted his time. <ok>

    I feel sorry for them.

    Articulate a point or argument in a coherent and sensible manner, no one will bother you. Act like a complete moron and you'll be treat as such.

    Especially when the mods know it's you because they can see your IP address. Idiot.

    Most 'newbies' do get a chance. You were just being your twattish self.

    There is a lot to be said for the statement " If it aint broke" and Hull City AFC isn't broke. The support that the Allams are trying to attract are not interested in a club our size. They are only interested in Man Utd, Arsenal and Chelsea and rebranding Hull City is not going to alter that what so ever.

    I kinda agree, maybe AA has delusions of grandeur, either that or he is optimistic about our chances...
    Personally I think we'll just finish outside of the top 10

    Everyone bitching about the last few days should get together, put their money where there mouth is and put a chunk into the club so you can give yourself the voice you all desperately want, what with it being your club and all that. Or are you all just happy to stay keyboard warriors?

    I don't think Diddy thinks before he types.
    If he's saying that because Allam owns the club he can do what he wants does that mean he wouldn't complain if Allam resigned from the Premier League and joined the MLS?

    And precisely how would that be effected? How does anyone 'put' money into a limited company where all the shares are in ownership - in this case by the Allams?

    The only way to do it would be to put money into another company and offer to buy the club. There's no way we could get millions of pounds up front and there's no way the Allam's would take us seriously without money up front.

    I don't think Diddy was being serious. He just wants to rant.

    It depends what the Allam's would sell the club for. The best opportunity was before Adam Pearson come along.

    The thing is, the Allams have pots of money. I'm guessing that if the fans took the club over, we'd only have enough money to keep the club running. Where would the money for Premier League wages/transfer fees come from? It's nonsensical.

    As much as I'm against any name change whatsoever, for the record, I don't think it's going to make an iota of difference. Which is a damn shame. But at least we can say we tried. If the media, the fans and the general public aren't going to use the name, then it'll just be the Allams using it, which doesn't really matter that much. I think 109 years of being Hull City is enough to keep our reputation in tact. It isn't going to go away in one weekend of madness from the owner, hard as they may try.

    I'm not sure it would ever happen, but as we've just seen with Anzhi, if the owners decide to leave in the face of this mess, does that leave us up **** creek? Will they take their £60m out of the club and would that leave us in the lurch? Or will the PL money even that out? Hypothetically speaking of course.

    Is this true that his daughter called us "arse scratching degenerates" on Twitter?

    If so what's her name?
