    The next TV deal is expected to increase Premier League club revenues by over 50%, it will be not only the biggest deal, but by far the biggest percentage revenue increase in Premier League history.

    The numbers being talked about for a name change, even if they weren't completely made up bollocks, will pale into insignificance when the new money starts coming in. The simple fact also remains, that signing one Chinese player would increase our profile in China much more than the name of the club, City still have more Facebook followers in Cairo, than they do in Hull.

    I went to Margao in Goa this year and it's quite small.. although Goa has a strong Portuguease influence and is probably the most football interested state.

    Mumbai is a seething mass of 12 million (20 mil in Greater Mumbai), I didn't see much evidence of football there, but you see cricket all over the place - sticks and stones on dusty streets to grand green pitches with pavillions..

    AA thinks that having the team name of Hull Tigers on the tv screen in India, while the game is going on, will give him the edge. I don't think he realises that most of the time it will just be HUL.

    I'm sure Sri Lanka will be bowled over by the positive image the tiger portrays.

    Isn't tiger poaching a big thing in the Far East? I read something about Communists in China actively trying to exterminate tigers as well because they thought they were "enemies of man".

    Allam's obsession with the Far East will further alienate the fans who actually pay his ridiculous ticket prices. Will people in the Far East come to the KC to watch games?

    He's an arsehole but he's also very, very dim.

    Utter nonsense ^^^^ this. btw, you also missed out that he is a very clever and rich man. Something that you shall never be. But dont let the facts spoil your nonsense.

    Yes he knows nothing about football but he admists that already. Hence why Steve Bruce runs the football side of things at the club. Just saying like.


    If Allam is very very dim then what does that make you ? You can only dream of his wealth ffs.


    Most fans know where this whole issue started from. Sadly there is more important things going on in the world to worry about a clubs name change.

    ++++

    The next global PL TV deal has been reported to be worth approx £3 billion a season to the PL starting from 2016/17.

    You are correct.

    Expect a huge bidding war between BSkyB and BT for the next Premier League contract. BT want more games but Sky can't afford to lose any having lost the Champions League to BT next season onwards. The next rights will be heavily inflated. There's also rumours of a BeIN Sports bid who are big money spenders in other countries for the Premier League rights.

    You seem to be having difficulty differentiating between wealth and intelligence.

    And Steve Bruce runs the football team, not the football club, if we had a commercial manager on a par with our team manager, we wouldn't be in this mess.

    That will be just the tip of the ice berg. Dont forget Al Jezerra either. It will be the global tv companies that really crank up the coffers.


    I know what Steve Bruce runs. I said that he runs the football side of things. Even you should know what that means. We need a quality CEO more.

    Of course we need a CEO, that's what I said, you started off saying it didn't matter that Allam didn't know what he was doing, as Bruce ran the team, but obviously it does matter.

    You should say **** all Tickler, you're the thickest **** on here.

    1. He is a liar, that has been proven to be true many times.

    2. He is a bully, this has been shown to be true on many occasions.

    3. He is ignorant, amongst many other issues he doesn't even know the name of the club who's name he's trying to change.

    As points 1,2 & 3 are unquestionably true, I'd say it is more than fair to label him a ****.

    I'm certainly more intelligent then he is & have, by a very long way, achieved more & contributed more to society than he ever has or will.

    Glad to clear that up for you.

    We are talking about football matters.. ie what happens on the pitch.
    So it does not matter that Allam knows nowt about football.

    Allam knows how to make money.

    You might have been talking about that, the rest of us were discussing how daft our owner is.

    You definitely agreed that he knows nothing about football, that would make him ignorant on all things football.

    Remoloy Reject - Iceberg is one word, just saying.
