Hull City Owners Wants To Re-Name Club

Cardiff City are to return to playing in blue, with the owner Vincent Tan finally acceding to fans' demands to ditch the red rebrand after an emotional meeting on Thursday night. They hope to wear blue when they play Fulham on Saturday.
Tan was not at the meeting which was convened following ever-growing bitterness at the club's colours, which Tan controversially changed in 2012 after 114 blue years, citing red as being "lucky". But on Friday morning, the Malaysian spoke to members of the board who had talked with the supporters - including chairman Mehmet Dalman and the chief executive Ken Choo - and agreed with their recommendations for an immediate switch back.
Approximately 50 supporter representatives, local MPs and business leaders addressed the board and made a seemingly compelling case for an end to the red which has caused such acrimony and a return of the bluebird as the dominant image on the club crest.
Since Tan gave the green light, the club have already been in talks with the Football League about the possibility of playing in blue in Saturday's home Championship game against Fulham and beyond. However, it is believed that the away team must agree.

Hull's turbulent preparations for the new Premier League season continued as they sacked first-team coach Keith Bertschin in undignified fashion.

Bertschin was scheduled to travel with the squad for the pre-season tour of Austria on Tuesday, but was unceremoniously dismissed after turning up with his luggage to board the team bus to the airport, the Daily Mail report.

This on a site devoted to a team who's fans go ballistic about a bit of red on the shirt!!!!!
 
I though the Hull owner said he would sell up if they wouldn't let them change to Hull Tigers? Surely there's some Chinese investor they could find?.. I mean someone bought WBA ;)
 
False alarm (courtesy of BBC) - keeper plus 5, as usual.

I blame AVB

Livermore at CB due to lack of, err .... players. And manager. And an owner who ...... allegedly.
 
Just imagine the Tottenham Chickens running out in an all-red strip with gold tassels. That'd wipe the smirks off your faces.
