We can laugh but this really is another step on the ladder to Americanisation and global branding ............Money money money money money money money...... nothing else matters and the fans are not even an after thought.
The peoples game is no more. It's the the Multi Millionaire's game and us mugs carry on feeding it.
I feel little sympathy for Hull or Cardiff fans usually but this is bollocks not just for them but every club who's owners want to re-brand an otherwise non fashionable Permier club. QPR are lucky that they seem to have chairman who knows what the identity of the club means.

This was my initial reaction I have to admit, didn't find it hilarious - just rather sad and indicative of the way football's going..

I am not sure if it's 'Americanisation'. The thing that is striking is the lack of democracy, as that Cardiff fan pointed out in his rant against Vincent Tan. The cruder owners merely show up the lack of democracy more clearly.
The idea that their name is the only thing that’s stopped the Far East from falling in love with Hull City shows a wonderful refusal to accept the fact that Hull City have won fu ck all over the years and most overseas PL fans are glory-hunting divs with little imagination or sense of romance. Having said that, look at Cardiff — change to red, get a Dragon on the badge and all of a sudden, you can’t move for Cardiff shirts in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Beijing.

Exactly why I despair when people sit there saying a 40k stadium would be great for us. Teams like Utd and 'Pool took decades of success to get where they are with foreign fans.
