    He is just making it easier for Steve Bruce to do what Nigel Pearson did.

    Jump ship to a club run by a less bizarre owner.

    Not sure it's been mentioned but on humberside today they said someone in newbald has bought the trademark "hull tigers" might make things interesting if true..... Unless he's bought it with the intention of selling it

    If that is true, the person should not sell it for less than what the Allams own...

    I know that sounds ridiculous given the money. (I would probably be too tempted to sell at a fraction of what the Allams have)

    It would be a total waste of time as he would not listen, the guy obviously has tunnel vision and will get what he wants, for better or for worse.

    Very smart decision by that person. Either way he'll make a profit or frustrate AA.

    I don't think she was confused. More likely shocked by how out of touch he was with his answers.

    He was handed a petition the size of a phone book, he knows perfectly well that there's thousands against it, it's why he won't hold a vote on the name change.

    He knows he'd lose and lose badly.

    It still astounds me that he doesn't know what the club is registered at with the FA, how can he be so out of touch?

    Rugby league has dragged everything down with it in Hull. It kills the spirit. Mouthbreathers are never going to get interested in anything worthwhile.

    Yeah I honestly don't think he does know, when he was pressed on it by Amanda Thompson I thought he was going to throw her out. I'd like to know who he's taking his advice from

    If my elephantine memory serves me correctly, a certain member of the CTWD group resides in North Newbald.

    "If removing the word City is proven to be commercially useful then we will do that"

    "How will you prove that?"

    "By me saying that".

    He's a ****ing spaz.

    Whoever is interviewing him was brilliant, keeping his cool, must be hard when interviewing him.

    He actually thinks our name is Hull City Tigers and always has been that. Has no-one from the Marketing department corrected him?

    I think they might want to keep their jobs.

    Yeah it's bizarre, he thinks he's championing the supporters' cause by keeping Tigers in our official name. The word I struggle to understand there is 'keeping'. It's never been part of our official name!

    That's why I've long maintained it shouldn't be on the badge. It just gives the wrong impression, as it clearly has with poor old Allam.
