Reading this thread is a bit like approaching a car crash on a motorway. As you reach the blue lights and ambulances you want to look away from the carnage, but you can't resist one quick peek ..
If it helps at all, he nicked that from Mark Herman on Twitter.
I did indeed.

Modern technology eh?
So if the decision on last years application is declared void where does that leave last years application as far as a decision is concerned right now?

It's just like watching Groundhog Day
Pitch invasion, get a game abandoned, lose points, get relegated.
Ha ha yes watched it a couple of weeks agoEspecially the bit where he says "I am a God".
The panel's decision not to instruct the FA to consider it means it failed and a new application is required.
As far as I understand it, the application was to change the name in the 2014/15 season, as Obadiah says that season is now nearly finished, so the FA are saying to apply again next season. I guess the point is whether an application can be carried over to the next season, if not then they have to apply again, which they said they would not do, and it appears issuing a LOI, they are trying to stick with their statement.
That it should be considered abandoned, and a new one started.So what was the decision on last years application?
Allam really is an old fool. Who was it who said that repeating the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result is a sign of madness?

Surely, it would be implicit in a statement that another application would not be made, that the first application fail. The first application has NOT failed, it has been declared void; the issue has not been resolved.
The decision of the panel is explicit. The application was to change the name of Hull City for the 2014-15 season. The FA decided to reject the application. The Panel found that decision flawed and declared it void. The panel then had to decide what to do with the application. They could have referred it back to the FA Council for another vote or they could leave it on the table. They decided to leave it on the table which meant we would remain Hull City until a new application was made. The original application had failed and if no new application was made we'd remain Hull City.
To become Hull Tigers he needs to submit a new application which complies with the requirements set out by the FA and endorsed by the panel. A convincing business case and a poll of supporters which shows a majority in favour.
