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.

it is a f**king ultimatum! have you not heard the man say a dozen times he would leave? it's been in the news for weeks ffs. He's not staying unless we're Hull Tigers so why would he put that as an option?

The only reason CTWD are upset about this is because they think he's bluffing and because they fought so hard without any concern towards the consequences of getting their way.

It's not his, nor our decision to make.

He said if Hull City Council did not give him the stadium he would build his own at Melton.
He said that if the FA refused the name change he would leave in 24 hours.

so he doesn't get to decide when or why he chooses to leave the club?

You've had a few too many tonight I think.

I was answering the point you were trying to make. He cannot change the name without permission. That's not his decision to make.

I'm not talking about the f**king name change I'm talking about the fact that some don't seem to understand why there was no option d) "Hull City remains and Allams stay".

The FA will officially say no very soon and he'll find a way out of the club. If he wants to sell the club it's HIS decision only and the reasoning behind is HIS only. It's not emotional blackmail unless he's bluffing, which is what CTWD think. SO we'll see in the next few months if he is or not.

There's no going back imo, he's not the kind of man to put his tail between his legs. Now he's gonna want to get his money. that's all.

I don't think you know what you mean. The discussion's about the ballot.

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'm not struggling with this at all. Assem Allam added an introduction and his name to option one because after all these months Hull Tigers as a new name has failed to attract any support. The reasons you and others have given to voting yes are, "I'm a bully", "we want to back the owner", "I want to take over the club" but not one "I think Hull Tigers is a great name".

The ballot is taking place because, in my opinion, the FA noticed that he hadn't abided by the rules of the Premier League. So this morning he had breakfast with the sponsors and tonight he announces a ballot of season ticket holders.

The question is what affect will this have on the FA Council on the 9th of April? I suspect very little because the main reason according to the press reports of the Membership Committee they weren't convinced of the business case for the change. I suspect they know this is all about his falling out with Hull City Council.

This is a sad day for my football club, but if it was easy it wouldn't be Hull City.

I think he's the work victim & ****s a lot. Probably over illegal images.

Didn't he go onto other boards trying to find a friend and get ****ed off by them too, or am I getting him mixed up with some other idiot?
