Changing it now to 'London Arsenal' or something would cause more aggro.

I would be more sympathetic if the owner wanted to change the name completely and take away "Hull". Hes basically putting their nickname into the club name. Is it really that bad? The owners have spent money and got them into the premier league and looks like they will be staying there, things could be a lot worse for the fans, just look at some of the other owners of clubs in England.
