    I believe they were paid in full as the interest rates were phenomenal. I think Duffen used Wonga for the loans.

    Don't know about that. When you start banging on about Alex Bruce, I certainly start to feel a bit queeezie!

    Interviewer "And what's your final message, would you say, to the group that you met the other day, the group that calls itself City Till I Die?"

    Assem Allam "Yeah, they can City Till They Die as much as they like. Nothing will change. Look it's me who is paying. They can City till they die as much as they want."

    You've just gotta love him. Assem Allam, take a bow.

    Yes, I heard that as well. Reality doesn't matter to Allam. He just says anything that suits him. He also said that if you shorten a name it isn't a name change. He also refused to answer various questions on the radio interview and the TV interview. That seems a strange action.

    I doubt PLT cares what Allam thinks of him. Similarly, I doubt Allam cares what PLT thinks of him.

    I was referring to the campaign issues, though that said, I've barely mentioned Bruce jnr this season.

    I watched Hull and Rovers on TV a while back and when they showed the league table it was embarrassing - full of "Leeds Monkeys", etc. It makes you think it's some kind of mickey mouse sport. The football in England and Wales has a proud tradition going back a long time. Bringing in silly names will dilute respect.

    The FA have now confirmed they have received no request to change the club name from Hull City to Hull City Tigers, so as far as they are concerned, there has been no name change.

    One thing is the accounts that Dr Allam said will be out next week. The Guardian reckon we will announce loss of 27.8 mill in our promotion season. So the financies cannot continue without major investment from somewhere.

    If he does sell the club I am sure the first thing the new owner would do is to change the name back. Unless he's some asian businessman!

    can someone explain something to me. AA keeps saying that he's spend a ton and that we are still short of cash, hence why he wants to change the name.

    Then what was the point in promotion? if we're still struggling financially now we're in the prem, then what the hell would have happened had we not gone up?

    Maybe he will decide that "Tigers" isn't inclusive enough and he decides to use "Animals" instead.

    We'd have been ****ed.

    And if we go down, we're also ****ed.

    Let's hope he can come up with something better than a pointless ****ing name change then.

    Anyone need a generator?

    I'm struggling to accept the loss for last season at £28m

    The accounts will make interesting reading...
