I'm struggling to think of anyone on the board who has more screamer-laden emotional outbursts than you do. This truly is the pot calling the kettle sensitive.
Interesting question. I think my response would be, as now, "why would you do that? What difference would it make?" And if no information was forthcoming, I'd say on balance I'd like to keep the name and see the club saved.
And that is the tradegy of Hull City. If, I know its an if, but if he'd have kept his mouth shut the day before andy Dawson's testimonial and not mentioned Hull Tigers or Hull City Tigers and gone out and sold us around the world what a season we would be having. Instead of talking about keeping our name we would be sat back enjoying what may well be the greatest season in Hull City's history. Don't bother with that its the same team stuff because it doesn't wash with me. Hull Tigers isn't Hull City as far as I'm concerned.
The real tragedy is that a small group are highly resistant to change and can't see a good thing when its staring them in the face. For them, everything has a downside. If they'd just accepted that things move on, that sometimes in life you have to get out of your familiar comfort zone and that fortune favours the brave, they wouldn't be trying to spoil one of the greatest times in our history over nothing more than a simple name change.
So how much do you think the name change will bring in: £5 million £10 million £15 million or you could put your own figure on it.
I don't need to know, I'm a football fan, not the owner of a club. We have an owner I trust more than some anon posters on a forum who have barely concealed personal agendas. I don't feel any need to have all the information all the time instantly. He doesn't need to run his plans past me, he doesn't need to share with me what he's doing. Your question is frankly stupid too. How much do you think the Fans Co-op (name tbc) will raise? 20m? 40m? 80m?
Wrong. 100% wrong, and you know it. The majority is NOT highly resistant to change at all. All the majority want is the same seat at home, to see a team running around a field in black and amber, and are happy they have an owner paying for the best football they can remember. The majority couldn't give a crap one way or the other on the name. Sure, if there was an option that affected nowt else, they'd go for staying the same name. That isn't an option and the majority will just back the person giving them what they want every week. If all you have is an obsession with a poll, and think the results of that poll will affect anything, you need to wake up and smell the coffee. The only way you could have affected this was to get a co-op together with enough money to buy Dr Allam out, or to buy a big enough share to influence things. Posters, badges and singing is all very nice, but thankfully the time for you lot to actually put up or shut up is almost over.
I think SB is in 2 minds.. PRO: I can do my own thing CON: this name change is un-necessary distraction
The majority do not want the name to change. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves. We've been affecting things since we launched and we'll continue to affect things with the FA council until the vote is held.
No you are wrong, very wrong, the CTWD campaign has raised awareness and solidarity throughout the football world, we should be proud of ourselves.
