Sat in Singapore having delighted in a few Tiger beers pondered if City have ever tried to get a sponsor deal on the table?
They did. It was used as a bargaining tool to get the Hull Tigers name accepted. The Tiger Beer deal depended on it, allegedly. £1m sponsorship at the time was talked about. I didn't believe a word of it then and still don't today.
I think there was an airline called Tiger that Assem claimed he had struck a sponsorship deal with too. Probably not true, given that we were already the Tigers and the deal was never completed.
A possibility, not definite, of £1 million if we went ahead with the ludicrous name change. At a time when we were raking in millions already. No wonder the FA laughed it out of the building when quite rightly kicking it out.
