don't see why not. If AA can run a football club (he admits that he knows less than bugger all) - he is letting SB do everything football related, all he is doing is controlling the purse strings. I can't see why you couldn't do the same.
Happy was saying there was no business case for the 'antis'; I merely asked him for his business case for the 'pro' side. ....and your reason for posting is......what - just to be confirmed, yet again, as a WUM?
Very sad of course, but her argument to maintain the name is void of any real substantial reason. Its a name yes, but its a business, Football has gone down this route for years now the moment sky got involved and the Premier League was born. This is not simply a tradition any more like it may have done. If you don't like this route then paying for away tickets to Man City for over 60 euros is hypocrisy. We drive the direction of football with our wallets, if you want the best you need to have the dollar. If you don't then its the doldrums. I've supported City since 1990 and I went to watch them on my own with another 2,500 people. If someone asked me then would i want the team to be in the top tier in the top half of the old division one by just changing the name, I would have taken it hands down instead of the crap we had to watch. Teams of our size need something different to stand out from all the other teams, no one where I live in Spain have heard of Hull, but guess what, they know the tigers. Cardiff, Palace, swansea (even though they played here against Valencia) No clue, and before you say it wasn't through negative press. There is ONE city here and thats Manchester. They are referred to as nicknames. We have to stop being so traditional and attempt to embrace this. I for one would love Hull to remain Hull City AFC, however, to maintain this status and for growth who am I to argue against one of the most successful business men in England.
how dare you go against their emotive arguments? you don't want to be labelled as a WUM by those that don't agree with you, do you?
We're already The Tigers, we're already referred to by our nickname on Star TV is Asia, it does not require the clubs name to change for us to promote ourselves as such. There has not been a case made by the club for revenue increases based on such a change, mainly because it's actually being driven by a spat with the council, not by the fact that it's actually a good idea.
You don't have to make that choice, we are top half of the PL because we're Hull City AFC. All's good. "Football has gone down this route for years now the moment sky got involved and the Premier League was born" No it hasn't. How many other clubs have changed there name? I call bull ****. "no one where I live in Spain have heard of Hull" **** education in Spain? Ignorant bastards. "We have to stop being so traditional and attempt to embrace this. " Why do we?
Was the person interviewed related to people on the council?Does anyone know?Did they make it clear before being broadcast? If the person was it will greatly damage the credibility of one side of the name change debate
'Football is a business there is no tradition anymore'. Okay then let's all go and support Manchester City as they provide the highest quality product so normal business theory would dictate that we do that. Perhaps we could go and support a team with lower match day costs such as Newcastle. Oh no wait we will all support Hull City as long as they are around because, like it or not, emotion is a huge part of football. P.S believe it or not you can advertise with a nickname as well
What person you dick? The programme was 3 hours long. You've made a rumour up, you're a prick. die. Try these Did AA bung Prescott's political party a massive wedge? Does DW rely on AA for part of his income?
1. Look what happened when we first went up, Allam saved us from becoming Bradford 2.I was talking about the money influence. 3. Can you name me the eighth largest city in Spain 4. I'm not sure about that one
So people in Spain already know us, as The Tigers, which is what we are. Everything Mr. Allam says he needs to market the name of the business is there and is working. It isn't broken. The Venkys are some of the most successful businessmen in India.
Not Business from a clients point of view, Business from an owners point of view. Its a business to Allam nothing else.
So true. It is the 21st century and sadly football is all about money now. If you dont like the business then stay away. Sadly it is as simple as that. The FA have long since let the supporters down. From allowing the PL to start up right upto the way the FA Cup has been handled. FA = FA. So dont expect any favours from them. Money talks nowadays and it has to.
