did anyone see the Allam interview tonight?

When the Allam's go the first thing the new owners will do is change the club's name back to Hull City Association Football Club.

 

You can but people would say "City".

 

Erik why do you say that about 1965? I was supporting City then and it was fantastic. Fantastic crowds, great fun on the South Stand terraces. That time was arguably the greatest in the club's history.

 

So you'd agree to re-branding for the sake of pure blind sentimentality.
Good job re-branding doesn't cost much.

 

I doubt the club will ever repay him (except as part of a series of transfers). What they will get is a lump sum when they sell the club.

 

No. I would agree to changing the name from something that is an absolute joke.

 

He had to do it (the interview) because he is the only one who thinks it's a good idea - did anyone hear anything, beyond the reason for it, that makes it a good idea? He speaks of there being no rush in getting to 'Hull Tigers', so why not use our 'limited' success to bring down that deficit, which any decent marketing professional would achieve by branding the nickname and not corrupting the historic club name. The businesses man in him has very tunnelled vision; his pathetic argument and cringing body-language made this a rather sad spectacle.

 

The only thing that would benefit is the merchandisers, make and charge for longer scarves to get all that on.

 

And we had a forward line up that could actually score goals, by the bucket load. Talking of goals I was watching Sky yesterday and they had City's relegation season on Sky Sports and they showed the table at the end of season and City's goals difference was minus 41, I'd forgotten that, jeepers.

 

It seems like every manager at the club since had also forgotten it!

 

.......and we needed them, our defense record at that time was woeful.

 

-41 is pretty embarrassing. We conceded 41 more goals than we scored. Over 38 games that's really, really poor. But that's what you get when you play ***an and Garcia up front.

 

***an and Garcia were both super star strikers that only the idiots who don't rate Corry Evans more than Scott Parker can see.

 

1964-65 91-57 in 46 games
1965-66 109-62 in 46 games

They weren't bad in those days but it got worse when we were promoted.

 

You're spending an awful lot of time on here Peter, I hope you're not letting the BP Audit slip!

 

That was over 30 odd years ago.
I don't do auditing now.
I'm self employed and work when I want as long as I keep my clients happy.

 

Fair enough, still have the BP account do you?

 

I never had the BP account. BP was audited by Ernst & Young who I trained with. They still do BP's audit. I deal with a lot smaller businesses and individuals.

 

Ah, right, so you were just the poor sod who got to count the paper clips. We all have to start somewhere I guess.

 

I agree, I was just covering the difference between a deficit and a debt.
