after the semi final!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Rooney-Luis-Suarez-rest-warns-Hull-owner.html
"Asked for evidence that 'Hull Tigers' will bring in more commercial revenue than Hull City, he becomes visibly irritated - and the table at Allam Marine takes another hammering. 'Who's asking?' he barks. 'I will not entertain any questions about the validity and reliability of my business decisions. No chance. If any of the fans have got a record in business better than mine I will entertain questions. 'I will listen to opinion from Lord Sugar or Sir Richard Branson - they've done better than me. But there's no way someone who doesn't know business better than me can come and teach me business. It's a sheer impossibility.' " So he can't back up his plan then. Sad.
****s sake, some of you need to go boil your heads. You 2 in fact. The quotes are from an old interview. This is the Daily Mail trying to stir up **** the day before our Semi. You 3 mugs fell for it. On one of the biggest days of our so important History, just for once, STFU about this ****e you **** stirring arseholes. Now, bacon butty, car, wembley, shout at ref, celebrate a win and spend the next week with a massive grin hopefully. *oops 3 mugs. Anyone who thinks he did an interview to release this morning really needs to look in a mirror.
Unlike some mugs I don't hang on his every word or keep a scrapbook of his interviews with dates affixed. As far as I'm concerned, it may well be another new interview- one thing's for sure, it's the same old bullying, spite-motivated ****e he always comes out with. Hope this helps.
I agree with Stuart and Happy: it is the 'same old', therefore nothing new to worry about regardless of when it was done. Let's go and enjoy a (hopefully) great day.
That title would be far more powerful if it hovered above a picture of our face painters and onesie wearers. But a kid with a jester hat? Even the most battle hardened ultimate fan couldn't sneer at the kid. It takes weight out of the title, rubbish choice of picture.
The Daily Mail interview is nothing new. Most of those who have spoken to him have heard him say the same. As for the Independent article, what a load of ****e. I will be watching Hull City play in the Budwieser FA Cup, the score board will be sponsored, there will be "Official" drinks, players who have everything sponsored from the shirt to the boots, even the ball has sponsorship. Around the pitch adverts will flash and the tv audience will be subject to as many ad breaks as they can fit in. So the tradition and heritage of the game of football have to be held in high regard by those daft enough to invest in the sport. What example can owners follow? Under 7's football teams are sponsored. Children run around on Sunday mornings as mobile adverts for local businesses. Owners are bound to try to change the names of clubs in the future, there will be more applications, Assem Allam is right to point out that he is just about the first of many. I don't like it, but the fact is the door was opened when the first shirt carried a sponsors name on it. Gambling......Money lenders.......drinks companies
It pales in to insignificance, on a day like today I couldn't really give the tiniest **** about what he has to say. It's not even an afterthought.
bloody good points OM. Sad but totally true, the market/commerce is king, as in every other phase of life at present.
It doesn't in any way support the idea that changing a teams name would make money. So it has no relevance to this debate.
The capitalisation of the "R" in "MR" in the subject field really threw me for a while. I was trying to work out what it stood for (I thought "muddled relic").
