They already have it with "I'm not changing it, i'm shortening it" and "City is irrelevant".
He's already said that before though, it's nothing new - it's more 'last months chip wrapper' than 'journalism gold'.

He's shortening the name after lengthening it intially of course, but the shorter name he wants is still longer then HULL CITY.
The complete lack of respect this man treats our fans is quite incredible, he thinks we're all thick as ****.

f**ks sake. It's like having Prince George from Blackadder running the show.
I think that is incredibly unfair to the Prince Regent.
More General Melchett? Both share an inability to move away from a very narrow view point.
I agree that he is a complete tool and his lack of respect for the fans has made me lose all respect for him that he gained by saving the club. However, what will happen if he wants to leave? If he tries to sell nobody will buy it for how much he has put in so I can't imagine him doing that. Alternatively he could sell our entire team and keep parachute payments as we drop down into non-league. I can't really see how this will end well unless he has an epiphany and realises how ridiculous the idea has been all along, then apolagises to the fans for being a dickhead.
There are conditions attached to the parachute payments which are paid over 3 years so no he couldn't just keep them for himself, they are designed to cushion the club from the impact of a reduced income & to ensure players on high wages are still paid.
Allam cannot sell any player who does not wish to leave & if he sacked them he would have to pay off their contracts & lose any transfer fee

Melchett at least knew what he was doing and showed some compassion.
Do you know for a fact that he doesn't approve, or are you just drawing that conclusion as a result of him seemingly not openly backing his dad up on it?He's saying nothing different from the nonsense he came out with at the start, so I reckon it's safe to assume it's the 'argument' he's presented to the FA, or rather his son, who seemingly doesn't support the change, presented.
Are any bookies offering odds?
Still, after all of this, all the journalists that have spoken to Allam have only dared to skim the surface.... none of them delve deeper into it and ask for more in-depth answers. Either that or they're just not good enough at their jobs.
"I'm not changing the name, I am shortening it".
"Ok, thanks for that. Next Question". *wow! this journalism lark is easy, isn't it? ...thinks Clarke Carlisle*.
I agree with this, I cant split the 2 elements. I simply cannot overlook the name change and thank him for the rest of his 'good work'.
For me he is plain and simple the worst owner we have ever had.
