    If you want excitement and entertainment, Barca is the team for you.

    Hull City will cease to exist- I'd say that that's a fundamental change. Sounds like you're making the case for your local football franchise.

    Is it worth supporting a club where the owners emotionally blackmail and threaten the fans?

    I don't go to watch Barca.

    HCFC is my team- dull or exciting, from Exeter to Everton, from Carlisle to Chelsea, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth.

    If, by some quirk of madness the name change goes through, and someone asks "who are Hull Tigers" what will the answer be?

    It doesn't have to be exciting to be entertaining. I'm always entertained when I watch Hull City due to caring whether they win or lose. It also doesn't have to be entertaining to be exciting for the same reason. You must get some sort of enjoyment out of it.

    On the other point, the name will change, but my support won't. As i've said, i'll still do exactly the same as I do every game. And yeah it is worth it, it's my team and i'll be supporting them through various owner/chairman changes. I'm not going to stop if one's a twat.

    p.s Barca are **** to watch in my opinion

    But I'm not from Barcelona.

    But a name change is too much for you to bear?

    Can't stop what you can't control. It's out of my hands. It's up to Assem and the FA. What and how am i fighting exactly?

    Lesson i've learnt:

    Make the best of the hand you're dealt

    and

    The House always wins

    Ehab has a lovely accent, it's weird how he calls his father Asssem though, the Dr's pieces look like they been cut in from a rant.

    Not a fa of the owners aren't local question, not seen that from any City fan.

    Ehab on the name change is aload of ****

    $120b turn over if someone with that isn't sponsoring us next season I'll be livid.

    The editing is shocking by our youtube channel.

    It'll be interesting what sky do with the interview

    I find the Dr saying worldwide for sale interesting

    I look forward to seeing him in the royal box

    nah, i was more of being an argumentative dick. Apologies.
    But still, how exactly do we fight this name change?

    Its all down to the FA's decision more or less

    I supported Hull City at Boothferrry Park, we moved and changed to Hull City at the KC Stadium. What ever happens to the club to a real supporter it will forever be HULL CITY.

    I won't miss a few of the righteous ****ish ones though.

    Sometimes you need some fresh blood. If you're not open to change then why are you watching football? Football is ever changing and it won't stop. 20 years we'll look back on this spot and it'll just be a speck of history just like leaving BP is now.

    I've hardly ever heard him speak before. He sounds surprisingly sensible at the start but what was he on about saying NP fell to pieces the year before Bruce got us promoted? He left in November and we were 8th! Ehab sounds convincing when he talks about football but Assem trying to explain why Sheff United won't be an easy game was cringeworthy.

    As the interview goes on they just start lying. "The majority of fans support it." Based on what? All the evidence is to the contrary. If that's true then show us. Prove it. Assem says if the FA allow him to change the name but the fans say no he'll accept that. Great stuff. So how are we going to find out Assem? Nobody questions your business decisions so apparently we can't have a poll so how's that going to work?

    It's another disappointing interview in that the journalist gets the soundbites he wants but doesn't challenge the bits that don't add up and doesn't get us the answers we need.

    Yep never seen him talk at length before but he comes across as slimy that's the perfect word.

    You seem to be thinking upside down. I'll be paying less than before.

    What has going to see matches got to do with whether you are for or against the name change?

    What if I said: "Going to Nigeria means you are in favour of the name change"?

    Why not just have a vote to see who's in favour of a name change?

    Why would they put up the price of season tickets? All that would do is reduce their income. I would see a big decrease in attendances then.

    It has EVERYTHING to do with it.

    I said this 6 months ago. If you are gonna pull a hissy fit over the name change then you have to back it up. Cake and eat it ... Remember?

    Slag the owner off, tell him what to do or not to do but then continue to enjoy what he has given us. Sorry but that's a piss take in my book.

    Many strong vocal, righteous opinions against our owners not enough backing it.

    Not giving a penny towards the owners is the only way to send a real message. It's your power as a supporter. I actually would respect those who choose that way more than those who want to watch PL football but tell the owner to F off.

    Nut up or Shut up.
