You know sod all about Allam and where he comes from then.

He comes from Egypt.

 

[Hamilton]

He comes from Egypt.

Does he really? Go and dig a little further. I think you'll be delighted to discover that he has a long association with the East Riding.

That said, the name change is an unwelcome decision.

I know, been there since 1968 - I was just pointing out that he was born in Egypt, as far as I know. Maybe I'm being a pedant, I agree on the name change and the irrelevance of his nationality.

To my knowledge there are at least 10 premiership clubs owned by foreign owners. One of them has changed the name. So 90% of them are not changing the name. Enough said?

Should rename this thread " foreign owners who know **** all about the heritage, passion or history of British football clubs rename Hull City FC !!

Cardiff City

Vincent Tan - Changed the clubs shirt colour

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

I don't see why the two sides can't come to the obvious compromise here, if the chairman wants to make the feline influence more prominent in the club's name but the fans are reluctant to change from what they've always called it. Come on you mighty Hull Kitty!

 

[ofco8]

The only time i think a name change is acceptable is instances like Swansea when they went from Town to City when they got City Status. Although they could have kept Town as their name.

Isnt Ipswich a city? But they have kept Town. I don't know.

No Ipswich is a town, much to their annoyance. They are county town of Suffolk but their bitter rivals, Norwich, are a city and county town of Norfolk.

So, being foreign has nothing to do with it. Thanks for confirming that. Fool.

 

[sparkie]

Owner yet again threatening to walk away if the FA refuse him permission to change the name.

Oh and if the fans tell him how to run his business.


Troubled times ahead seem inevitable for Hull.

The Crystal Eagles would be bizarre, since it splits Crystal Palace,

Indeed.

You would have to be the Croydon Eagles.

 

[Leighgull]

Indeed.

You would have to be the Croydon Eagles.

Or the Dulwich Dynamos? The Mitcham Jesters?....no, I've got it...the Surrey Shitehawks!

Well as Crystal Palace is a place, we can still call them the Palace Pikeys

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Indeed.

You would have to be the Croydon Eagles.

Plenty of Seagulls in Brighton HKFC...how many Eagles in Croydon...? Just a stolen American fad...

 

[daveinprague]

Glad you Dolphins and us Glaziers would never do something like that

Fans changed the knick-name to Seagulls...not the management, didnt they..think the management just went for it after it became common ;-)
Got a feeling its from the Palace match in the 70s
