And how much time did you spend with the "average fan" while you were there Blampey.? Let me answer that one for you....zilch...you spent all your time with your fellow CTWD moaners didn't you. Of course you don't know anyone who supports the name change....you never talk to them.
Some people seem to understand that it just isn't about the name change. It's the constant lying, insulting and contradictive hissy fits. If he had gone about the name change in a honest and respectful way he would got a lot less hostility.
That's all well and good, he seemed like a nice bloke when I met him (long before the name change saga) so I'm not doubting that. HOWEVER, there's still no good reason for the name change in there. Nice guy or not, you can't just change a 110 year old institution because you don't want to upset somebody. Didn't happen though, did it? Your desperate attempts to remain relevant on here are as sad as they are funny. One man gave his honest opinion of Allam, others gave theirs. What's the problem? If you want to write down your opinions with nobody disagreeing get a diary, don't do it on an internet forum.
Another thing is has anyone heard a CEO or chairman of national/international insult his core customers in the press?
Anyone can post any opinion on City they like(within reason). And anyone else is free to respond to that post with their opinion(within reason). What you actually want, is for people's opinions to be censored because they differ from yours. That simply isn't going to happen. When Assem Allam announces that we will remain Hull City and he will make no further attempt to change our name, then this nonsense will stop. Until then, it will continue.
How much do you know about what the average fan who goes to games thinks ? I think people who actually go to games might have more idea
No, its about Hull City. For long periods of our history we were ****. If it was about football we would of hopped on the available buses/trains and travelled to watch Manchester United, Leeds United or Liverpool. Our name is our heritage and our history and one man shouldn't be allowed to take it away from us, simply because he is rich. One day it will be sold on to the next businessman, and there will be another one after that, then another, but supporting Hull City is passed on from one generation to the next, through good times and bad times. Nearly all the top 10 teams in the Premier League are looking to expand their grounds, because people bring money, not just through the gates and the club shops but also in increased advertising and sponsorship. If Assem Allam loves Hull City so much he would be prepared to sit down with the Council and talk about expanding the stadium. That is my test for how much he loves our football club.
I actually think those who want to go back to the dark days i myself have experienced many years before our success....are just morbid ****ers?..... yes!
Do we read anything into Assem wearing the same shirt in Zilinia as he's wearing in the picture below? please log in to view this image
At 19.04 in Zilina, pretty much the entire 600 travelling City fans stood and sang City Till We Die. The name change may have it's supporters in Canada, or Cambridgeshire(or wherever the gnome lives), but it certainly doesn't in Hull.
Well avoided. I suppose you think Stoke Mandeville Hospital should just be grateful for all the funds Jimmy Saville raised on their behalf.
Nobody wants us to go backwards and most of us are bright enough to know that changing our name wouldn't have any bearing at all on the teams success.
This is what does MY head in. Has it ever occurred to you that there are not 20,000 supporters standing up with "We Say Yes Allam" chants and scarves because they are NOT PROTESTING. They are content with the direction the Club is going in under the present owners. They cant all be disingenuous fools or "bought and paid for" to quote Blampey. Speaking...or singing... LOUDLY doesn't mean you are right....or in the majority. It just means you make a lot of noise.!!
add to that the nonsense about moving to Melton, the nonsense with the Council, the nonsense with Barmby, the nonsense with Adam Pearson, the nonsense with the Johnny Whitely pics, the nonsense with selling Stewart to Leicester which cost us £1.5 mill, the nonsense with threatening to leave within 24 hours, the nonsense about no more money, the nonsense about wanting the HU11 CTY reg for the city and the club, the nonsense about the lack of a city tour celebration, the nonsense with the Andy Dawson testimonial, I could go on and on - the reason for the hostility is that he seems unable to interact with anyone in a respectful way - all this **** about no-one tells him how to manage his business and look at his cv - his cv stinks of Ruscador Shipyard although he seems to have conveniently forgotten about that - I wonder if all the men made redundant have
