    I'm still not sure what you're actually asking me there.

    I'm guessing its do I want Premier League and a silly name, or Hull City AFC in a lower league? Short answer, Hull City AFC. But the two aren't necessarily linked. Changing the name's no guarantee of anything what so ever.

    Sorry if I've understood it wrong.

    No, what I fear is that he will stop putting money in. He doesn't need to take it out to cause us to implode, he merely needs to say enough is enough, I'm not putting any more in.

    Then the team will implode, the club will start to drop through the divisions and jobs will go.

    No I don't mean it that way...

    We don't know the consequence of a name change or name keeping/pissing AA off. So I can't talk about playing League 2 football.

    All I'm saying is you seem to not have a care about any potential consequences to CTWD's actions.

    I can only assume you know AA so well you know he won't do anything detrimental to his club.

    Or you're just taking a punt/calling his bluff... which imo is very irresponsible. Especially when this would impact many other fans that may not share OLM's vision.

    He's already said he's not putting anymore money in on the interview 3 or 4 weeks ago. That was part of his reasoning for 'needing' the name change.

    Whose arguing ?

    From were I am in E1 I couldn't spot Mr Allan in the west stand .

    Takes me all my time to spot which player scored in the south stand goal if we manage to score at that end

    I really never look to see if The Allams are in the stadium...never really think about it..

    This is exactly how I envisage the reality of the situation, veiled blackmail or not.

    AA is used to getting his own way, and I think if he doesn't, with regard to the name change, then I think, in either the short or longer term, the club will suffer for it unfortunately.

    However, judging by the expressions on the the faces of him and his family yesterday, I feel that the response from the crowd yesterday proved to him, if he was still in any doubt, that you CANNOT run a football club like any other business, I very much doubt that he has EVER had thousands of Allam Marine employees vociferously making their voices heard, and that told on his face yesterday!

    Word of advice, don't take up poker Mr. Allam.

    I Don't want to be called "Hull tigers" I could accept "Hull City Tigers". I am liable to be thrown off this board for agreeing with you on this Strovo' but I don't want to "lose everything" as you put it.

    That would be a nonsense compromise. He wants a short name and hates the word City.

    Why both changing it from Hull City AFC to a name that's even longer and still contains the word he hates (City)?

    Anyway anyone handed their pass in yet? I see all the gobshites were there in place yesterday. Gobbing off and generally acting like a set of ****s, including one bloke of about forty-five who leapt out of his seat to join in the Tug-of-War ..Now that is ****ing sad. More ammo for the print media to stick the boot in. Cheers lads....Well done.

    The people were passing it round the ground peacefully until they were aggravated by the Jobsworths.

    CTID is and always has been a City chant. You can't cry about it being a campaign song, when we've sang it for ages. It's hardly shouting Die Allam! Die! ffs!.

    To claim the fans singing a song for less than 5 minutes cost us the points takes the piss, and shows you have your head firmly in the sand.

    City weren't good and deserved to get beat.

    Thats really quite stupid to assume that yesterdays banner tug of war was somehow pre-planned.
    All demonstrations have been well organised and not in any way planned to cause any trouble.
    Stop stirring the mix with that wooden stick.

    I've read some vindictive nonsense on here but that probably beats the lot. Are you serious or having us on. Without "the cancer" as you call it we'd be in Division 2 and probably going out of the League. Disgusting.

    This is a relevant point. An Arab male cannot afford to lose face. If there is a way out of this whereby AA can still appear the winner and the boss, then he may be advised to take it. However don't expect him to ever declare he made a mistake.

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry....The comment by SCB about getting rid of the 'cancer' is quite simply the daftest, most ill informed comment I have read on here and that is saying something!

    With remarks like that you shouldn't be on this board Regardless of how you feel about the name change refering to DR Allam as a cancer is not only stupid and discusting it is totally unwarrented from any city fan against what he has done for the Club. Perhaps we should get rid of you!!!!
