Long and Jelavic will strengthen Hull City - but at what price?

Well now, Hull Tigers - sorry, I mean Hull City.

Shane Long looks set to join Nikica Jelavic at the KC Stadium. There are two impressive signings for a club without much top-division history.

I imagine those complaining about the potential name change are biting their tongues right now.

Just a couple of days ago owner Assem Allam, 74, said he would leave "within 24 hours" if his application to alter the name to Hull Tigers is not backed.

Hull City fans reacted angrily to this, saying he had shown a lack of respect. The trouble is, as I have said on here before, they must be delighted at the player investment at the club, making the team stronger all the time, but such ambition comes at a price (the potential name change).

Wow, I've just noticed that the official club website is now called HullCityTigers.com. It's started already.

Is it the way the fans want the club to go?
