I hope we go up rather than QPR too, about the only thing I'll have in common with a Hull fan.

At the rate they're going there won't be a club to allocate tickets to.

I am not sure the FA would take kindly to 'threats' from an owner.
I am not sure how they can say NO and call his bluff, and if he then goes, all the Hull fans will blame the FA not the stupid owner.

I can't see why the FA would object; there are already examples of clubs changing their names without FA interferencce. It's the fans he needs to win over.

So why is he making a big fuss unless he already thinks the FA might say no?
Hull Tigers playing in the Premier league or no club. Bit of a no brainer for the fans really isn't it? I can't say i'm happy with clubs/owners doing this but if it comes down too having a club to support. I wasn't too happy when we were going back to Leicester Fosse but i suppose you would live with it if it came down to it and were successful.

The first 'fuss' that is mentioned in the article involves 'a minority of fans' and he says if the community doesn't want him he will go. It is only when he is asked about the FA's attitude that he says that the same thing would apply. It may be that the headline doesn't properly reflect what he sees as the problem.

But it wouldn't be no club. It would just be a differently constituted club and probably not in the Prem.
For what it is worth it is probably a minority of dogged fans who are so angry.The campaign to stop the name change has a small percentage of supporters signed up.It would appear that some of the more commited members have been signing friends up to the campaign groups to boost numbers.
Many fans are just enjoying the moment

Your use of the word 'moment' has been duly noted. I am glad to see you are being realistic.
So, the bloke that has bought and now owns the Hull Footballing Club has decided to change the name to 'Hull Tigers'. In six years time when he's buggered off, what's to stop the next owner renaming the club 'Hull City'?
It is ludicrous to change the name of a club in my opinion - I'm glad that Leicester have never changed their name.
Oh, hang on a minute...
