Really really Happy even my very old grandma asks me about `Hull City` everytime i see her.really pissed me off some rich ****er thought he could change our history.....sell up or fk off and give Ehab a chance without your egostatistical ways Assem.
Hull City Supporters' Trust statement... News just in is that the FA has rejected the Allams’ bid to change the name of our club. Below is our press release, to be released shortly, on the FA Council’s decision. FA again rejects Hull City name-change The Hull City Supporters’ Trust is delighted that the Football Association has once again rejected the application to rename our club Hull Tigers. The FA Council has now turned down the club’s owners twice in successive years and today’s vote saw an increased majority against the plan; there is clearly little chance of a future attempt achieving any success. The Trust wishes to record our gratitude to the FA for securing the heritage of Hull City and for listening to the supporters of the club. This decision will also be welcomed by fans of other clubs who may be concerned that their clubs might, at some point in the future, face a similar threat. The Trust hopes Assem and Ehab Allam reflect on the FA’s decision, that they cease using the meaningless terms “Hull Tigers” and “Hull City Tigers” all the time and instead embrace the club’s proper name once again. If they do continue to pretend the club’s name is anything other than Hull City AFC, Hull City Supporters’ Trust will oppose them as vigorously as we are able; we recognise the value of both the football club and the city, even if they do not. This is a real opportunity for Assem and Ehab Allam to rebuild their relationship with supporters and to start seeing Hull City fans as passionate friends that sustain the club, not unwanted guests at a private party. Should the owners do so, HCST would welcome the chance to engage positively with them and help our club move forward – with ambition and tradition. Note Next weekend the Trust will be tabling two motions at the Football Supporters’ Federation Annual General Meeting. If these are passed, the FSF (which has a seat on the FA Council) will engage with the FA to strengthen the latter’s rules on heritage issues so that a football club’s playing name, badge, colours and so forth cannot be changed without proper consultation with that club’s supporters, and that a club’s media should use only those approved elements in communications and publicity. We hope that fans of other clubs don’t have to experience the angst that City fans have endured over the past two years. http://hullcitysupporterstrust.com/fa-reject-name-change-for-hull-city-afc-again/
Thanks for posting the statement OLM The bit about the badge I like, does that mean they are going to try and get it changed back?
There is no chance of the badge changing on this seasons shirt. What happens beyond this season is anyone's guess.
Be careful what you wish for..... i wouldnt be suprised if the Allams say sod it lets take our investment and leave. No doubt the Allam haters would love that, but apply some business sense.... We owe them over £100 million We have no stadium as an asset We have been relegated so our value drops Our sponsorship and general income drop What does a business man do in these circumstances... asset strip Bye bye brady, robbo, chester, there is £20-25 mil, we certainly would notget our market value for them Then bruce says "hang on, i didnt sign on for this" before you know it he is gone.... quickly followed by the remaining decent player, bye elmo, hudd, davis, dawson.... Before you know it Allams have around half money back, sell the club at rock bottom price with % deal over parachute payments dor balance of debt..... We need a balanced approach by ALL concerned, supporter groups, fans, FA and the board. Allams walking away could be a major disaster, we might of managed in prem but following relegation (could of sold whole club at reasonable price) ii am not as sure we could realistically cope. That said.... great news on the name change been knocked back
Oh for ****'s sake. The 'Be careful what you wish for' motif. You've just posted a scenario that you don't want. Then the last line of your post is in favour of the event that causes your scenario. Jeez
Here is the HCST submission to the FA. http://hullcitysupporterstrust.com/read-our-submission-to-the-fa/
Greg Dyke talking to Sky Sports .... he say it wasn't overwhelming ... http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/9910255/fa-reject-hull-city-name-change?
I was willing to give him a chance, but the whole League 3 / Reserve teams in the FL completely ****ified (new word) him beyond all recognition.
We had a boss at our place who told us all she had a 'degree in warehousing'. But she'd never worked in a warehouse. Lasted 3 months.
Yes, we do, so can some people stop saying that they've invested loads of money into the club. They haven't. They've given us loans through Allam Marine and we're actually in more debt than before Allam bought the club. Saying they've been generous with money with the club is like saying German banks have been generous with money to Greece. They're loans, not gifts.
Talk about been 2 faced one minute you can't get rid quick enough next minute you want him to put more money in !!
