    the only end possible is him selling the club. This was fairly obvious months and months ago. That's it. Let's just hope we can limit the damages in the process.

    Oh yes what a good idea. Be careful what you wish for.

    Maybe Buchanan and Hinchcliffe returning would be perfect for you ? ;)

    It doesn't have a ban, but they can only be so big and you have to pay for the advertising space. For an FA cup semi final on worldwide tv that will be a hefty wedge, they out priced a Yeovil fan by charging him £1500 for a banner far smaller than the CTWD for last years league one playoff final.

    So I doubt to see any banners in there, and if there are, they will be so small so as not to matter.

    Are you as thick as you seem to be, Frenchy? CTWD would appear to be ready to 'go out of business' as the FA have rejected the proposal of the mad 'Doctor'.

    He looks as if he won't let it drop.

    So, CTWD will still have a job to do.

    Obvious to anyone with even half a brain (so it's escaped you).

    If you listened to Ehab's last interview, he said there wasn't anyone lined up. Even if we became Hull Tigers.

    So, in essence, those people who persistently claim to not be bothered, yet voted for the change, have now simply made this process drag out and on and on which will be to the severe to the detriment of our club.

    Like it or not, the FA is the ruling body of the sport.

    I suggest those who voted ‘Yes to Hull Tigers’ to petition their leader to cease all further legal action; or petition him to actually withdraw Hull City from the league.

    No doubt when I turn on Humberside at 6pm there’ll be the usual from our esteemed loyal fans who’d do anything for the club:

    “ I hope he teks his money out and we slide into the Conference”

    You have of course put your finger on the problem. The "appeal" is likely to be on Legal grounds. I doubt the F A can legally stop the owner of a company from changing its name.

    They can, of course, then stop "Hull Tigers" from entering their competitions. This however would be extremely difficult for them to do, the logistics of expelling Hull from the premiership would be massive, and even more so if (as seems likely) we win the F A cup. Would they promote an extra team from the Championship, or not relegate Sunderland?

    If they did I would expect a case in court for restraint of trade. Especially embarrassing for the F A in the light of their own record of "Name Changes" for their flagship knock out competition "The Budweiser F A Cup". Most likely the F A would not challenge the case as they would lose. The whole thing is in danger of becoming an unmanageable Holy mess.

    Best get your tin hats out lads, the fact is the poll went in Allams favour. If he had lost by 48 votes you would expect him to have dropped the issue, as he won he is entitled to expect the same. That is the way a court will see it. And, lets face it, AA can afford to go to court, CTWD can't, and the F A won't.
    They were embarrassed enough by losing the Massimo Cellino affair, they won't want the cost of losing another high profile case.

    I'm surprised only 63.5% voted against.

    The poll went in his favour bit is wonderful comedy. He asked the silent majority to back him & they didn't.

    Consider yourself tagged, desperate small minded irrelevant ****er.

    The fact is that the 'ballot' was a shambles and the FA is well aware of that fact. I fear the 'Doctor' will get laughed out of any appeal hearing he attemps to win.
