<laugh> You deserve points for perseverance at least.

It's a crock of **** ballot and you know it, it will be ignored by any party that the Allam's take it to try and prove a point and that is absolutely what they aim to do. They plan to scare people into voting yes, then add them to the Not Bothered to give them a total who are not against a name change. It's so ****ing childish, it's embarrassing, the press will have a field day tomorrow.

Another weekend of 'nutty owner' articles to look forward to.

Voted A.
3 months ago I would have voted C, but I can't stand the bullying tactics of the anti-Allam brigade.

Honestly, who the **** comes up with this ****?! <laugh>

I'm going to have my own poll, and it's twice as fair:
a) Yes to Hull Tigers
b) My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
c) The Central African Republic

Why won't it let me like this?

Why am I being blackmailed?
I get the opportunity to pick an option that allows me to back an owner who has invested £80M into the club.

You vote for me or else I walk (supposedly).

Hull Tigers in the top flight being funded or HCAFC in the lower leagues with nothing (supposedly).

Yeah no blackmail there then. You must've just woken up & missed the last 8 months.

Oh no, they've set out their side of the argument. How dare they. Only CTWD are allowed to put their side of the argument, and anyone who disagrees with CTWD is a ****wit/idiot/plastic (delete as appropriate).

They've put their side, they've given people 3 options and thats still not enough for some.

Since when has a properly conducted ballot included the views of only one party or side of an argument? Allam and CTWD (of which I'm not a member) have both given their views on air and in the media already so why the need to further try and influence the vote .If its ok for Allam to include his views on the ballot paper why not other interested bodies/individuals expressing their views also. Could you point out any other appropriately conducted ballot where one side has the ability to have a platform on the ballot paper?

He has made it crystal clear. If he can't run the club as a business, then he'll walk away.
Personally I would rather have Allam at the helm rather than some consortium who couldn't give a rats arse about Hull, just the fact that they can syphon Premiership money out of the club whilst it lasts.

The irony is that most of the complainers who are aggrieved about this missing option 4 "Remain Hull City and keep Allam as owner" would still vote for option 2 anyway.
Allam has not given that option because as far as he is concerned an option that removes his authority to make business decisions on his own investment is no option at all.
 
The actual joke here is, the Cardiff, Liverpool and Man U fans would all have in the recent past have given their souls for a vote of confidence in their owners in the full knowledge if they weren't wanted, they would go.

We get that and you're still whinging.

This was never ever about a simple name change, anyone claiming otherwise is simply deluded.
 
How is this a disgrace? it looks perfectly fair to me.

a) is pretty straight forward
b) is pretty straight forward since they do not wish to stay if they don't get what they want
c) is pretty straight since everyone knows there's a whole bunch of supporters that don't care

Just because it doesn't necessarily help CTWD's cause does not make this disgraceful. How the f**k is this blackmail? It precisely and accurately describes the current situation and there definitely are 3 different opinions out there at the moment.

As far as the name change goes, that was never in his authority anyway. The FA are looking liable to prove that.

I'm starting to think these deluded fans want to tell the owner of the club how to run his business. It's laughable.

And Allam cares so much for Hull CITY that he's entirely comfortable dividing its supporters and pursuiing a strategy which he can't articulate and can't convince anyone.

How is it fair? An obvious question would have been Do you oppose the name change but wish the Allams to continue the running of the club.Why do you think this wasn't included as he would have received a very positive result?
