Match Day Thread Reading v Hull City

4th poor performances in a row.
And I blame one man.
And he does not go by the name of Allam this time.

 

So Craig, if I read you correctly, you believe it would have been better if we'd have let the Allams change our historic name to Hull Tigers, Hull City Tigers or whatever ****ery they came up with, on a trial basis. And then should we become a club vying for top half EPL status every season, we'd have been happy to be Hull Tigers?

Well then your'e a Prem prostitute aren't you. I think you have somehow (only God knows how) misread us. So let me try to help you understand...

Under no circumstance, do we ever want Hull City AFC to become anything other than Hull City AFC. There was/is no grey area here. If that means we slump to the conference, then so be it.

How you ever thought otherwise, well I'm baffled mate. We couldn't have been clearer.

NO TO HULL TIGERS!

 

"So Craig, if I read you correctly,"
Based on that response I'm not sure you read me at all.

 

Oh I do though.

 

No you don't.

 

Do
Don't
Do
Don't

Ffs, Why am I even bothering?

 

Are we still having this Hull Tigers debate the Allams lost no matter how hard they try with this name change nonesense by stealth on its social media sites it hasn't worked just created more and more devide between club and supporters.
They should just go but won't whilst the parachute payments keep coming in.

 

Something that I found interesting and probably always will. It makes no difference to anything nor am I trying defend or support a view, just mentioning it, because to be honest, whenever the name change debate comes back on here, I always wonder.

During the sale of Derby County, the incoming CEO referred to the club as "Derby County Rams".
Assem Allam thought that the club was called "Hull City Tigers" during the purchase process.

Adam Pearson was involved in both sales.

 

We aren't . Craig is for some reason.
He should **** off and start his own thread.

 

Sorry Chazz, I jumped in as well..

 

Point taken. I should have started another thread but I was responding to Bob's post.

 

The garbage that has been shown on the field recently should be more of his concern.
But each to their own.

 

What do you make of this, Tom?

 

You really shouldn't have.

 

Don't you think tradition has any place in football? If someone came along and said "to hell with over a hundred years of black and amber you're playing in luminescent green from now on." would that be ok? I honestly think some supporters have a door mat strapped to their backs with the words 'Wipe your feet here.'.

For me the badge, the club, colours and the traditions have been an integral part of HCAFC since they were created by generations of supporters who were proud of them and would have expected us to protect them. The fact that supporters like you feel no pride in these things and wouldn't mind if we became the penguins is a sad thing and a bit of an insult to those past generations.

Also you seem to have a total lack of respect for supporters which probably says more about you, but anyone with even a glimmer of football knowledge knows that the supporters are the club and the day we lose interest will be the day football dies.

 

My point is that the whole name change issue might have been a storm in a teacup if it had been handled more diplomatically. The way to deal with people like Allam is to demonstrate to him why he is wrong, not just to make it into a battle of wills.

His whole premise for changing the name was because he claimed it made business sense, so the way to refute that would have been to prove the premise wrong.
Instead we got endless emotional 'We Will Never Surrender!' speeches and any chance of convincing him he was wrong went straight down the drain.

You probably favour the Reverend Ian Paisley school of negotiating, but he wasn't that successful either.

 

It ****ing is an all.

Chazz, you bastard. Why are you two timing me with her of all people?

 

She buys a round.

 

Difficult with someone who is never wrong, haven't you seen his CV?
