And still the silly old bastard presses on with this garbage https://twitter.com/HullTigersIndia https://www.facebook.com/HullTigersIndia?fref=ts
It's okay cos he's using Hull City out of respect for the FA's decision, remember. Probably another metaphor.
He can do what he wants as far as I'm concerned outside The UK. That said any person knowledgeable about marketing will tell you brand uniformity, and maintaining a cohesive communication strategy, creates the most consistent and effective message; so from a marketing perspective its totally wrong!!!
We all know it's not about marketing. It's the same reason for the academy website URL and in fact the official club URL. Nothing more than a small personal victory for Allam. Showing us and the FA that no one tells him how to run 'his' business.
No this is what the marketing expert at Harvard told him to do in the brief of a paper he wrote about the New York stock exchange.
India? Did the old twat just think of a place where tigers live? They really are a set of clueless ****ers. The sooner they leave the better.
Is that the one which he at one point admitted was his whole basis for the idea after he read the cover of it? The one which specifically stated it wasn't relevant to anything other than the stock exchange and only talked about the effect the length of a name has on share prices and which he used to justify the use of a longer name? He really is such a silly ****.
For anyone who wants updates from the Mumbai roadshow, without the ****ing ridiculous Twitter handle, just follow - Hull City On Tour ‏@HullCityIndia.
The special PL weekend is taking place in Mumbai I see. Home of Indian PL club Mumbai City. Those fools had the chance to call themselves Mumbai Tigers right from the start as they were only formed this year. Well it's going to cost them trillions of rupees. Their loss is our gain.
Do the thick bastards (yes, you Mr and Mr Allam) not realise that the Indians are mad for cricket and not football? It doesn't matter a jot if the club is named after a striped animal. Is this the masterplan? Average Spectators – Airtel I-League 2013/14 (in the order of ranking): 1. Mohun Bagan – 17,068 ? 2. Shillong Lajong FC – 11,308 3. East Bengal – 8,667 4. ?Rangdajied United FC – 7,687 5. Mohammedan Sporting – 7,083 6. Bengaluru FC – 7,038 7. Pune FC – 2,586 8. Dempo SC – 2,542 9. Churchill Brothers – 2,450 10. Salgaocar FC – 2,421 11. United SC – 2,250 12. Sporting Clube de Goa – 1,608 13. Mumbai FC - 321 I think the average is more this season...but out of 1 billion people? Madness. They can't get the marketing right in Hull let alone India. Every month they are in charge...we slip backwards.
Kerala and Kolkata have averaged 48,000 and 45,000 this season. The second and third highest averages in the world outside of Europe, behind River Plate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_home_attendances_in_non-European_club_football
Can't see many of them splashing out on Hull City season tickets though, regardless of what we're called.
Maybe slightly off topic but are there any Indian players in the Premier League, Championship or the lower leagues?
