Re-watch the interview from 12:05 but in the context of the Allams already aware of today's decision and their knowledge of a further opportunity to respond with the written submission.

I'm guessing one of the reasons was "you have not demonstrated that you have consulted the fans, or have the widespead backing of the fans" (hence the poll)

The second reason... not demonstrated commercial opportunities. Ehab mentioned in the interview a company with £120 billion turnover. They will probably make this potential sponsor now known.

You lost.

Accept it with dignity.
 
I think "Hull Tigers" was all a smokescreen.

I think that Assem doesn't really want to change the club name, just the pronounciation. He thinks that the "Tee" in City should be pronounced "Vee" so that we can be called "Hull CV". Then Assem can own an FA cup winning team and tell everyone to look at his CV.

The battle is won but the war isn't over yet.

There are about 15 companies in the world with that turnover or more. There's only a handful with turnover around that figure.

He's brought this on himself.

If he had not tried to steam-roller the FA and his club's customers with ill thought out threats and a total disrespect for them as bodies with a voice and done things by the book, then this whole thing would never have got to the point now, where he has to make a choice to either show some contrition or carry out one of his threats and do one.

Through his business acumen thus far, he has a football club that is well placed amongst its peers, that may well make a profit next season. It's in the semi-final of the countries premier cup competition with a more than good chance of entering European competition for the first time in its history. He has possibly the most respected English manager in the country and has done this by taking some external advice. The result is, that through some good management, he has a more saleable asset than when he walked in and picked us up off the floor. That's good business.

Success in the league and cups = exposure = TV revenue = increased commercial activities, and ALL achieved as Hull City.

Now, for the sake of a couple of million quid to be raised by whoring the name of the club, he is prepared to walk away. Is this the fabled 'classic marketing' he believes in?

He's been good for us, no doubt about it, but he might have to go to save face, which will be lacking a nose.

It's all been so totally unnecessary.

This this this ^^^ an outstanding post <ok>
 
Allam had decided to poll the fans over two weeks ago, it was passed on to me at the time. That was well before the 5th March. markkc's theory could still be correct but is it likely that Allam knew the outcome of the meeting so long before it took place?

Not rich enough, as are Apple <laugh> £120 billion = $200 billion so:

Glencore
Toyota
Total
Chevron

The fact that some people believe this sponsorship bollocks is astounding, especially considering how much even the top teams get:

It should be Volkswagen. And all season pass holders should get discount rates off new cars and all VW parts, specially lambda sensors.

And a free engine rebuild every 100k miles.

Surprised more car manufacturers don't sponsor football teams actually. Having your logo on the shirt of a top club is probably the second most amount of exposure a company can get.
