I think John means don't just FFWD to Sally's bit then turn it off afterwards.

Man, you really don't get football do you. You've got that in common with Allam. If you think an attachment to a clubs name, it's relevance to the City and the people it represents - in this case for over a century is emotional bullshit, then you understand nothing. If you take away history, you tarnish peoples memories.
Of-course football is emotional. Does that make it bullshit? It's the thing that people share - as families, as friends, as a community - that takes them into a realm beyond all the other bullshit!
Allam clearly doesn't give a **** and apparently, nor do you.
When has the CTWD campaign spoiled match enjoyment this season? A few of the teams have spoiled it this season but I can't recall any of the fans spoiling anything.I think people need to listen to the whole broadcast not just the 'edited highlights' for the CTWD campaign group.
A lot of air time was given to people declaring themselves to be long standing supporters who looked upon the CTWD group as a lot of Luddites who wish to return the club to the dark days and it was them who were spoiling the match enjoyment for the majority of supporters.
Please just listen to the whole broadcast.
That reminded me of X Factor. Tug heart strings, vote for me. Just needed Dermot hugging people.
I guess in the absence of an actual proper argument against it, and a realistic and workable plan to raise millions, there's not much else for the Anti's to do.

Actually, the antics of Assem Allam has pretty much ruined the whole season for me.
Come on then, genius - enlighten us with your 'Pro' case.
Just listen to the whole broadcast, without the timer and fast forward button.
These were fans talking, fans who aren't supposed to exist (according to some posters on here).
Thankfully Burnsie didn't work on the same principle and tell any anti-CTWD caller to shut up.

#Sally's call was heartfelt and genuine. She sees the name change as disrespecting her husbands memory, which I'm not going to criticise.
And to be fair, she would not mind CTWD using her to promote their cause.
It doesn't however change my opinion on the name change, and flicking around that broadcast I found myself nodding with the callers who say this only matters to a minority of supporters. Clearly it matters a hell of a lot to those supporters but still it is a minority.
sweet jesus. I don't understand why this is so difficult.
*i* do not need a "pro-case". Dr allam has that covered. All i need to do is trust him and support him. He knows what he's doing.
To become self sustaining, something radical needs to happen in the absence of a billionaire coming in and just giving us a huge wedge.
The "anti-case's" need an actual plan, and demonstration of their ability to deliver a massive boost in funds. Neither dr allam nor me has to do anything to prove to you bugger all. Although i'm flattered you think i'm that close to the centre of this and that i need a plan. The onus is entirely on the protesters.
It's not a popularity contest. It's not a democratically run organisation where anyone with a passing link to it has a say in how its run. You might own "emotional" shares in the club but meanwhile, in the real world, the club needs real actual hard cash to sustain itself and to continue to improve as we've done over the last couple of years. I want to see us in the top 6. I want european football for us. I know how that would make my family both past and present happy beyond words. We are capable of that as never before, thanks to the vision and acumen of dr allam.
As we become more successful on the pitch, we'll attract more and better financial benefits plus more "fans", but to get to that stage needs more than just talking ****e on an internet forum and campaigning against the man trying to do that for the club and relying as stated above, on emotional bullshit and ironically given their slurs that dr allam doesn't have a plan, without having a plan, with backers of their own.

How the hell can you say it is a minority when over 15000 have signed the online petition. it is supporters like Sally and her family that are the club not deluded old twats like Allam who think their word is god just because they put their money in. He says that the club is his gift to the community and then slaps the community in the face by proposing changing the clubs historical name to something that sounds like an American Football Franchise.
I bet (with being a business man) he cant understand this emotional bullshit either!
