    No because you have to stand up for yourself.

    If you abstain or vote for option C, he'll twist it and say nobody cares & nobody will oppose him. That's why he's done it that way.

    are you seriously asking such an obvious question?

    I'll use caps in case it wasn't obvious already.

    BECAUSE THAT IS NOT AN OPTION ACCORDING TO ASSEM ALLAM. I'm pretty sure he has the right to choose that. He said 10 times at least that he won't stay if the name doesn't change. So why would an option include both these things? How is that not clear?

    <doh> The name's not changing. The vote's too late to make any difference to the application.

    I have voted for option B.

    He's failed miserably through his own crap PR campaign & lack of transparency in his business plan, yet his supporters back him still.

    If he gains support through this vote of confidence (which is all it is) whose saying he won't try it on again.

    Well it's not official yet and I'm sure he won't just accept that from leaked news.

    and in any case he'll look to find a way to leave now. So why would he put an option d) than includes him staying?

    I don't recall CTWD inviting the club to add something to their poll or petition, or did I miss something? Let me guess, that's different? You've had months to prepare for this. Months to get people on side. Either you have, or you haven't.

    I dont understand why some people are struggling to get this, it's not a vote yes/no on a name change, its much much more important than that, and its more inclusive than any of the other polls we've seen online and in papers.

    Maybe thats what the concern from the CTWD camp is, they always really expected, and hoped, the genuinely silent majority would just ignore a yes/no poll and they'd slide in first with a yes/no vote. They were counting on that in fact. Now they're realising its probably a little too late to try and engage those objects of their ridicule. In fact I guarantee its leaving a horrible bitter taste in the mouths of the CTWD apologists like Leon. Enjoy the FA decision while you can.

    Funny how things turn around ain't it? The party streamers and empty bottles of champers must look a little out of place right now as realisation slowly sinks in to the more astute ones.

    I see with 5 changes of username your persona hasn't changes for the better.If you're holding a ballot to be credible it has to be fair and balanced and not accompanied by clear views on one side when both sides of the argument can be achieved by other means. Quite clearly at the next election you will be happy to see pro government propaganda prefacing the ballot paper?

    To be clear, you don't want some consortium owning the club who couldn't give a rats arse about Hull, just the fact that they can siphon Premiership money out of the club whilst it lasts but you're happy with a one man band owning the club who couldn't give a rats arse about Hull, just the fact that he can siphon Premiership money out of the club whilst it lasts. Good lad.

    It's not leaked news, it's the official recommendation of an expert group and other bodies after they considered all of the facts, and this vote is too late to be included either way, so any mention of the name change is meaningless.

    It's still not Allams decision in any event.

    Is this a guess or do you have data to back up your claim?

    Of course it can't be about the name change, only an idiot would still support that after the experts have unanimously rejected it and this vote's too late to matter anyway.

    I'll try and find that thread after AA said "you can die when you want" or whatever. Where pretty much everyone on here said they wanted him out... now they want him to have included an option that includes him staying? after undermining everything he has done and said in the last couple of months? after having had the decision from the FA gone their way?

    Are they ****ing serious??? Kick a 70 year old man while he's down but ask him to carry on pumping money in the club :D

    People need to stop thinking the sun shines out allam's arse!! He is a manipulative c**t end of, I'm disgusted by the ease in which people are willing to give up on something that every fan of HULL CITY FOOTBALL CLUB should fight for, yes he has put his money in, of which he will take back with interest lets not forget, but why does that give him the right to willingly split the supporters and make us a laughing stock at the same time! This football club has been HULL CITY since 1904 and has seen players managers and chairman come and go but the constant is the core backbone that should be ever lasting, ie the name, the nickname, the colours etc. I ask all you fans to do one thing only, have a think about what changing our name will achieve, and I'll give you a clue, it won't be extra revenue, success brings revenue not a name

    I don't recall the Allams asking CTWD to contribute to the poll or have I missed something?

    2 points re my bold selections

    1. Why are they so afraid of an option which offers "NO to Hull Tigers and the continued support of the Allam family"?

    stinks of an ultimatum doesn't it Mr Happy?

    2. I'm sick and tired of this "silent majority" crap. It's all too easy to claim this invisible support. It's just another case of claiming to have what you don't have.

    Desperation.
