There's a hilarious video on the tubeofyou

They're Hull City Until They Die - Assem Allam's Name Change Plans

not fit for KIDS!

Wow bloody well said

don't know if its been said already, but can anyone see any of the other premier clubs changing their names,to say Manchester lions or nal bulls!!? I know the already have a strong brand but you know what I mean

What a kn*b Jockey!!! says it all really!

I watched that earlier this afternoon. He's very good

I don't think he has. The club is not worth the money he has invested to balance the books. He would only realise say £30m leaving him with loans outstanding to new buyers - its whether anyone would take that on. He is also taking a risk that the club get relegated and do a Portsmouth and then he might get 1p in the £ for his debt. I would agree he has backed himself into a corner in so many ways that he will struggle to get out and save face.

If City get relegated - he will blame the fans for disrupting the players.

I honestly believe he's manufacturing that situation.

I still don't get how annoying the fanbase is going to increase revenues which was the whole reason for the name change in the first place. As someone said above people are interested in winning teams not gimmicky names

The thing with the DR is that he's a money grabbing wanna be Roman Chelsea.

He's only changing the name for better marketing around the world for more sponsors.
Yes many may say well done to him for trying to make Hull known worldwide, but his recent comments show that all he's after is money.

PS.. That video was hilarious

What are the odds that Hull Tigers are sponsored by Tiger Beer or Singapore Airlines.

Rather long I would think. Asian fans love winners - think Man U, Chelsea, Barcelona, etc. To think that corporate giants such as these would want to be associated with a battling team in only its 3rd season in the Premier League and risk upsetting the supporters of the bigger English and European clubs is somewhat optimistic.

He's not done too bad so far, the blokes worth god knows how many million!! Footballing wise hie decision to get rid of Barmby was a pretty good one (and very unpopular with the fan base) and to appoint Bruce worked well,

There is an argument that City are now in the press far more than they would/should have been without all this controversy. I don't for one minute think that was the intention but currently they are a lot more attractive to sponsors than a number of other PL clubs.

There could be a real publicity coup if there is a back down by Allam and as has been said sponsorship by a tiger related product would be ideal (can't see it happening by the way).

I don't think he has a buyer tho, maybe he has realised that he is throwing too much money at City and wants out, this would be an easy way to walk or stop investment. Either that or he's just as mad as a box of frogs and this is just what he does.

Covered all possibilities there BR.

He lives in scarborough but reckons he was brought up in a town with no football club,i'm guessing Beverley.
