"My dislike for the word 'City' is because it is common. I want the club to be special.
"It is about identity. 'City' is a lousy identity. Hull City Association Football Club is so long."
Egypt-born Allam, who moved to Hull in 1968 to study and has since set up a multi-million pound company in nearby Melton, took charge of the club in December 2010.
"I have always used short names in business. It gives you power in the science in marketing. The shorter, the more powerful the message. In Tigers, we have a really strong brand."

"AFC is redundant, it is not used by the club. The fans never mention AFC, nor do the media," he said.

Yesterday I took home Richard Wilson (victor meldrew), got called a wanker on regent st, had to let a girl out quick so she could be sick all over the pavement and dropped a kid home who was walking in the rain with just socks on (bird kicked him out ), done that last one for free cos he was from east London
I'm starting to think London is full of c*nts on the weekends and it ain't even Friday night yet

But I knew I was being a dikk so just charged it to the game
