He can argue what he wants, but the FA don't have to listen any more. They've been through the process with him. He wants to be able to question everything and do it his way as always but it's either he re-applies and makes a fool of himself going back on his word or he leaves it as it is. I think we all know which is more likely.

Nobody tells him how to run his business.
 
If Allam's stubbornness and pride means he won't submit a new application then great that's a result

Doesn't that depend on what action's taken for all the places he's already changed or refused to use our name, despite the official name change being refused by the powers that be?

The outcome alone simply retains the status quo, which many are complaining about.

I always expected that once this name change was finally put to bed, the social media names would change back, as it would be ridiculous if they didn't. As James confirmed this to be the case last night, I don't think this is really an issue.
 
Hull City's lawyers are in talks with the Football Association as the Premier League club seeks to conclude a bid to change its name to Hull Tigers.

The FA Council's decision to reject the club's initial application was set aside on Monday.

Hull were told they could bid again for a name change next season; the FA want that bid submitted before 1 April.

Hull believe their original application should be reconsidered following the findings of the arbitration panel.

The club therefore do not intend to go through the process for a second time.

In turn, the FA are adamant they have nothing to consider until a second bid is lodged and are of the belief that the arbitration panel's verdict effectively annuls the original process.

The Premier League club's legal team are now attempting to resolve the impasse after they were told they would need to re-apply in the next fortnight if they want the case to be considered for the 2015-16 season.

Hull owner Assem Allam has put the club up for sale and that will remain the case unless he is successful in his attempt to alter the club's name to Hull Tigers.
