Oh for sure. IIRC the Hull owner wanted to rename the club “Hull City Tigers” or something like that.

Yes but he’s from Egypt and has lived in the UK for 50 years.
I think itll be very interesting how this new owner deals with Potter.
Will he be giving him time?
Will he be trying to give him formation ideas like he did with Tuchel?
Its a circus at the Bridge
Not been a great week for Willoughbies

Will he split his soul into 7 pieces to make himself harder to kill?

It’s not real…yet.
But Boehly, unlike Abramovich, is here to make money and reinvent football so it’s not that far fetched.
He’s just another American parasite owner, seeing an opportunity to make even more than he’s already accumulated, by ripping off supporters even more.
You’d think he’d try and settle in gradually before shouting his mouth off with ridiculous ideas like a North v South all stars competition and trying to revolutionise a game he knows little about.

It’s really, really, really far fetched. The Glazers are the ultimate in it for the money owners and have been around for almost 20 years without any remote nod to something like this. These people may be all about money but none of them are stupid enough to think they could make a name change that dramatic (or of any sort to be honest) work.

It used to be far fetched to think that we’ve move away from Highbury to a stadium named, not after the where the club is from, but an Arab owned Airline.
Things change and when the PL becomes saturated with American owners who’s main aim is to make money and get more American viewers, then anything is possible.
Commercialism has completely taken over football and unscrupulous owners don’t care about the history or traditions of the game, they just care about making massive profits so a name change here or there is going to be the least of our problems.
They’re not going to change their name.
Why don’t you explain how a name change would make them more money so?
Clubs make money from naming their stadiums, they make money from having company names on their shirts all around the ground in programmes etc .
Advertising is the nature of the beast, every single club does it. But I cannot see how any owner can profit from changing the club name or even any reason for doing it. If anything it would cost the club money .
I’ve come to realise football as a business is always going to change the way we see the game.
You either roll with it or follow something else.
If it means appealing to the American market, then I would imagine a name change could happen.
I didn’t say it would I said was it isn’t far fetched.
Football is almost unrecognisable from when we beat Liverpool to win the title, with players going from earning a few hundred quid a week, to a few hundred thousand.
So with the vast commercialism and foreign owners saturating the PL, who want the game more global, anything could happen.
We’ve had plenty of massive clubs have stadium name changes, which was considered controversial, so why wouldn’t they change the name of the club to appeal to the American market and make money from sponsors or even play some PL games there?
