No, I'm talking about who pays the staff. That is the company. Koren gets his weekly cheque from Hull City Tigers Ltd. As do they all, including the stewards etc.
I suspect we have no idea how important this is to someone from an Egyptian background. And remember how we applauded when he said he would never sell to Lesta after the NP affair - well we've got what we've got and I don't know how we get out of it to be honest. 6 months from the jubilation of promotion to the club being torn apart, honestly, only we could achieve that!
But, that's my point, it isn't Hull City supporters. It's ironic that you moan that he has no market research to prove he can make money from the name change, but on the other hand without anything other than your own opinion you declare you speak for all Hull City fans.......you don't!!!
Getting out without losing face is indeed key in my opiniona . Saying something like, his business advisers have told him that the name change will net him millions, but being a generous man, he's prepared to forgo vast riches as he realises it's not what his Hull people want.
So you see a minority of them as self serving devious people on a power trip? Seems a bit of a harsh assumption or do you have first hand knowledge of this minority and damning evidence to boot? Pretty easy to just sling mud at people trying to organise and do something they believe in.
So - if the entity that pays the players' wages changes its name from Hull City AFC (Tigers) Ltd. to Hull City Tigers Ltd., that affects the players how? Indeed, OLM and probably the vast majority of 'antis' aren't bothered. I'm not.....
So if the Funding behind Hull City Tigers pulls out taking the company Hull City Tigers Ltd with him then the players and staff will go with him, unless you and Olm are going to take up the name Hull City AFC and continue paying them (if they'll sign a contract with you).
My opinion when I saw the names of those on the group was that they were each ideal candidates. Their actions since then point to my initial opinion being an under estimate. I think they've done an excellent job.
I’m sure opinions were formed - as we do that all the time – form impressions/opinions based on the smallest and slightest interaction/information. But, ultimately and definitely before airing publicly, we must check our own opinion with something more. We must filter our own prejudices and bias and not let them dictate especially if we want to appear in control of our own minds and emotions. You’re not just calling them ****s; you’re attacking their fabric. Just because certain people attended that meeting is not just cause for seeing this minority as ‘self serving devious people on a power trip’; unless you have something much more solid it just seems like a jealous, baseless and spiteful attack which ultimately reflects very badly on you, your personality and values. So, do you have something more substantial that backs up your insult?
