The club (Allam & Co) used a blunderbuss approach to get this thrown out, with five points of contention. They just got a bit lucky that one of them stuck with this Dr Clarke chap. The merits of the decision have certainly not been questioned and they're certainly going to have to go some to win it. For starters they'd have to magic up some business case that supports it and also win a fair ballot. Not a chance imo.
Thank you OLM for clearing that up,I wish the FA ran our local media !!! and ignored his barmpot requests, whilst feteing him at every given opportunity just so they don't loose their place at his table,,,,,,,Imagine HDM with 8 less pages lol
This is great news. This has allowed Allam to save face and the club will therefore remain in his hands. For the first application, the club were following un-chartered territory as the FA had not gone through this process themselves properly before. They now have a clear explanation of the points that the Claub have to address in the re-submission (which they will do), and the Council have also explicitly stated that the FA must not overbias the opinion of supporters in the next ruling. Giving how much a sticker are for the FA to follow their own rules, I can't see any other outcome than Allam being successful in a resubmission. Plus with what he's done to the social media sites and the badge, the eventual ruling won't make that much of a difference anyway.
Tut tut, no politics. That would get any other thread closed but as OLM started this you should just get off with a warning. No one tell him when to close a thread. I'd already deleted it - OLM
"In summary, the club contends that the procedure adopted by the membership committee was unfair: it failed to inform the Club that it was required to present a 'strong and compelling' case for its change of playing name." **** me.
Can we have a new banner made? "We're all tigers! But we're called hull city afc" we might have to bring it into the stadium by stealth? I doubt they'll let us hang it up?
