You like a few on here have this misconception, or are deliberate WUM. CTWD as well as the HCST have always said they prefer the AlIam's to stay, they are not anti Allam. This was purely about the name change, which in most people view is totally unnecessary, and if the Allam's had come out with evidence that changing the name was going to increase drastically the income to the club, then many may well have seen the benefit. As it is every expert I have heard on the subject disagree with the Allam's and say it will not have an impact, and if anything will lower the revenue, as they will lose local support.
He's not ploughing any more money into the club whatever happens and rightly so, he's done enough, the club should be self funding now anyway. It's fortunates are certainly not going to be improved by some complete bullshit pointless name change.
I have no idea, but then as I don't own Hull City Football Club, I don't reckon I have the right to tell the owner what he can or cannot do with his property.
But you do have the right! You've followed the club through thick and thin, you helped keep it afloat in its darkest hour, you are part of the very soul of the club. You have every right to make your opinion heard and you have every right for your opinion to be respected and taken into account (so long as it tows the party line of the vocal majority). It's not his property anyway, he is merely a custodian. If the FA so wish, they could seperate him from his duty of stewardship.
I think that if the HCST was serious about being a new group representing all Supporters - and not just being the CTWD with a name change - then the last thing it should have done is start off by make a major statement on the name change To me, it just shows that it's not a new group, which is a shame and a missed opportunity.
Okay, put it another way, I don't want the right. In my view, the guy that has spunked £100m to save and develop the club deserves the right to add the nickname to the proper name for what he believes to be the benefit of the club. In my eyes what he has done for the club gives him that right. Can you tell me by what regulation / law the FA can separate Mr. Allam from his "custodianship" of the club ?
Adding the nickname to the proper name would give you Hull City AFC Tigers.Or forgetting the AFC Hull City Tigers.What he is going to do is reduce our name by 50% and add Tigers. By "spunked" do you mean given or loaned with interest being paid to him?
The last accounts show he took £5.5 million out of the club in loan repayments, in addition to the interest charged on the loans.
Good on him. He deserves a bit back. I hope he eventually makes a profit; the level of risk he attached to his family's fortune, he deserves to double his money.
He deserves all of it back. He's close to getting most of the money he put in back, what with the corporation tax he's saved. As he appears not to be selling I think doubling his money will be a very conservative estimate. After all buying Hull City only cost him a few quid.
lol, frigging hell, even by his previous standards thats brilliant from Obi. No wonder he's so close to the AKA CTWD lot.
