At last - some common sense. At least we've got a group that speaks for all the supporters and not just the vocal minority that is CTWD (now renamed, ironically!!).The vast majority of supporters are bored silly with the name change issue - supporting the team on the pitch is what's important. Let's stick to that.
Pay attention Mr H that's a stupid name, far too long for global marketing purposes, in fact the only thing in its favour is it doesn't contain the name revilled by all the worlds leading marketing movers and shakers....CITY !!!!
As I thought, "the club" will seek to legally challenge the requirement to submit a new application. But that is pointless as the initial application is not a winner. Allam knows that a fresh appplication will need to contain convincing name change arguments and a clear majority in a supporters' poll in order to stand any chance of succeeding. Good luck with that one Doc!
Don't speak for the vast majority of supporters, Irememberwaggy as i'm sure you haven't canvassed their opinion or know them all personally. It is important to support the team on the pitch - which is what we all do, so what's your point regarding that. if you are insinuating that the anti name change lobby are disrupting performances on the pitch then you must be a total cretin. If you are perhaps trying to say that supporting the team is more important than the name change, then that's ridiculous as well because the two do not go hand in hand with each other. The team can be supported and the name change can be fought - so really you haven't anything of value to say. But thanks anyway.
You have a point. In all seriousness, London Olympians/Olympic could be a trick. It's that sort of catchy prestigious name that would capture the imagination of kids and the hard of thinking (plastics).
Olympique Lyonnais will sue them.. but hey yeah.. can you imagine a new breakaway global glitzy league? screw the Champions league let's have.... The World Champions League of America and the world.. kick-off match at the Allam Thunderdrome New York City vs London Olympic followed by.. Paris Hilton vs Berlin Bunkerdwellers Istanbul Kebab vs Tokyo A-Bombs Buenos Aires Paxman vs Sydney Opera..
It's a sad state of affairs when getting relegated has its positives. The name change idea will disappear, and at some point Allam will too I thought Ehab had a bit more about him but it seems he has the same opinions as his father when it comes to the name change debacle - lots of talk but no proof whatsoever as to the benefits. On the plus side whichever way the season finishes will have a silver lining - that's my optimistic half....
I too am confused about Ehab and his thoughts/motives.If I were him my priority would be to never let papa anywhere near a television camera or anyone with a microphone in their hand because Id be worried my inheritance was dwindling with every phrase uttered
Most of the day to day decisions are being made by Ehab. Someone in authority at the club gave specific instructions for social media names to be changed to omit anything "City" related. I think Ehab is just as bloody minded as his father.
I think it's still worth making the point that if they really have found a golden goose from a name change (I don't think they hve for a minute) they're hardly going to publish it before taking first dibs and most the eggs home for themselves are they?
Who said anything about publishing it? The FA would have dealt with it confidentially like all the other submissions.
