    Were they actually sponsors, or the networkers that pay for a grandeous title?

    So if that's the case why does he need the ballot? I look forward to 10th April when we will find out if he is true to his word.

    I can see why they have put the pass holder information on, as who is to know if anyone is putting multiple votes in for either side. Downside to it, it goes away from being a secret ballot.

    I know this may be jumping the gun a little, but who is actually counting the ballot papers? Potentially some could be "Lost" if they don't have the correct answers on couldn't they. My trust of what has happened so far, makes it so i wouldn't be at all surprised one bit if this happened.

    Walking out the club won't get his money back.

    It won't make it attractive if runs it into the ground, and he won't get his 5%

    The name change is not happening and that's that.

    Therefore this ballot won't have any impact other than emotionally.

    Unless he's bluffing he'll be finding a way out soon.

    that's all there is to it, I don't understand why you're all moaning about the way it is phrased. You've f**king won. AA has lost and has his pride hurt. What else do you want?

    a D) option would serve no purpose apart from acting all fake and pretending that you actually support him even though you fought hard for him not to get his way. Just go celebrate and let the man do what he wants ffs.

    Yet ironically, he's looking for a vote of 'confidence' in him. <laugh>

    Not 100% sure, but I think it included sponsors. Not my field of expertise I'm afraid. I wouldn't know the difference between the two.

    So like I said you think you know better than him and think he is bluffing. We'll see. He'll look pretty stupid if he stays doesn't he. I don't think he'll like that so I don't think he's bluffing.

    So why you crying about CTWD wanting an option wanting to keep Allam as the owner?

    Pretty sure the ballot wasn't his idea.
    Nothing is going to change now it's a matter of pride.

    Why didn't the Allams do this (set up a poll) in the beginning?

    Don't you see that - if it's more than a vote on a name change - 'Dr' Ass has brought the fans' opposition to him on himself?

    There really appears to be nothing astute about his tactics - he started with an ill-thought out position and has ham-fistedly attempted to justify/salvage it.

    I'm not the one crying haha. I think it's ridiculous that some are still kicking him while he is down.

    This is a good post; something I have come to expect from Gawge - one of the silent majority! :emoticon-0150-hands

    Unfortunately it looks upon this sorry situation with too much respect for the owners motives, ballot, straw-poll, gift, self-sufficiency or grandiose benevolence.

    It's all a lie, a deceit.

    The Allams play with the supporters of Hull City AFC like a cat plays with a mouse.

    I find it difficult to stomach some of the lofty judgments on here - folk who have never done more that click a mouse or switch a channel in support of the club. Folk who find no fault in the owners, indeed they exalt their benevolence. Folk with a quasi-intellectual arrogance who are inadequate in stating an argument and moving on, but hang around like a dose of clap. Happy Tiger need a clinic visit.

    Craig (Nottingham) - there was a time when this was all internet bullshit; what are your thoughts now? I'm genuinely interested.

    Gawge, thanks. <ok>

    He has been putting his pride ahead of the interests of Hull City since the day he refused to speak to the council ever again. He obviously thought owning the ground was the best option to ensure long term financial stability but he refuses to follow this through because of his ego.

    Whose idea was it then? Come on, pray tell.

    Just like the name change wasn't his either.

    Nobody tells him how to run his business. Except for a massive Asian company willing to invest. In that case he drops his pants for them.

    Also, if we get relegated anytime soon it's CTWD's fault. Remember that.

    I tell you what looking through the premier league how many good owners are there may be chelsea, man City how many others? how many in our history have we had ? yes that's why we don't have an history. The Allams strange owners they have done everything possible FOOTBALL WISE in the right way ( premier league, F A cup semi its fantastic don't expect it to be like this all the time, enjoy it while you can sport is always ups and downs i think we have had to many downs. P R we all know they are shocking its such a shame because the man should be an hero spoilt by all his stupid comments to some he is now an idiot i hope everything gets sorted in the right way which ever way you vote don't take notice of others vote with your heart and how you really feel but lets not forget SB and the lads because West brom is a massive game, take your anger out on them and worry about the other later, Up the tigers/ City. P.s Don't forget to vote
