The name change was on the cards from day one; anybody buying a football club these days would be interested in the exposure of branded properties.
I'm in favour of change. We need to reinvigorate the club and stop reassuring ourselves by past achievements. The last 10 years + have been really wearing on us fans. We get a new squad and manager each season and instantly assume promotion is in our hands. The reality is that we will lose games and new signings may turn into boo boys. Indeed we could get promotion too, but I say that with a bit of balance having watched Burnley, Southampton, Wigan, Norwich, Hull, Blackpool, Swansea and Reading overstep us with a fraction of what we have.
I think that it's good to see that we are starting to move with the times.
{Ed034's Note - I don't see how having the stadium called 'the city ground' has held us back
QPR did the same last year by signing Austin.
Q: How do we get back into the Prem?
A: You buy the best striker in the League
Fulham probably looked at the likes of us, 'Boro and Leeds, and thought that it's in their best interests to get out as quickly as possible whilst they still have the money and profile to do so.
Probably a sign of things to come from newly relegated Prem teams.
We have to balance the books. £7m for a player with only one season under his belt is a significant sum of money. There are no guarantees that he will be a starter anyway if both Wilson and Hobbs are fit. Not wanting to "dismantle a team" is a great bit of PR, but in reality it doesn't work like that.
