A club that makes it up to the Prem but can't stay up... so they ride the parachute payment down.
You were up for 2008-9 you finished 1 point above the drop (as you had a worse GD then Newcastle) quality season.
2009-10 You dropped like a rock
2010-11 you finished mid table in Championship
2011-12 you finished mid table again
2012-13 you went up
2013-14 you finished 16th YAYAYAY!!! and only beat the drop by 4 points!!! but you did win the cup... so congrats on European football
2014-2015 you'll fricking drop again...
THATS A frickING YO YO CLUB (regardless of whether its up for 1 or 2 seasons... you'll always come back down...)

A yo yo club is a club that goes up and down like a yo yo, hence the name.
Going up for the first time ever, coming down after two seasons, then going up after another 3 seasons is hardly going up and down like a yo yo.
We didn't win the cup, we lost in second half extra time against a team who had one player (Mesut Ozil) who cost roughly four times more than our entire match day squad for that game. We qualified for europe by being runners up, as Arsenal had already qualified for the champions league via the league.
Fancy yourself as a bit of a seer do you? It seems you can tell the future, so could you give me Saturdays lottery numbers please? Thanks.

Oops... guess I forgot you guys still don't have any silverware
You sound a bit of a whiner...
You don't have to be a seer to understand that a team who hasn't finished higher then 16th won't stick around to become a Prem mainstay.
You're just a little club, enjoy your time now, because it won't last long...
The Whites will be up soon and we will stay there and thrive with our massive club and support being one of the best in Europe.
They'll welcome us back, while they only wish you well... there is a difference. So don't go thinking because of the last 7 years you are Yorkshire's #1... well not until you fill that empty trophy case (which isn't happening anytime soon)

For a team with no ASSOCIATION in its name... seems like the old club badges incorporate it...

Do you think you'll ever play your bitter 'rivals' Newton Heath again?

Ever? Of course... hell we beat them in '10

The last time Hull City beat Newton Heath... 1974

Not only piss poor management I see it has spread to the fans.
Unlike you we have done something described as "improving the squad" this off season. There is about as much chance of us being relegated as there is of TWS playing attractive football.

Your squad isn't big enough for Europe, you'll be tired, drop points... your squad is dropping. You know it, we know it.
Snodgrass and Ince are nice... but they won't save you and you'll be having a fire sale this time next season.
We will see how it all plays out, Cellino is a business man and he got Cagliari up and they stayed up... I'm certain he can do the same for Leeds... if not more as Cagliari had no real history before he got there.
I am uncertain about the influx of unproven foreign players (as the pace of the english game is hard for some to cope with) but until we see how this season plays out, we can't really make a judgement at all.
I think we'll be in the Prem in no less then 3 years, and once up, we won't being dropping. 3 years from now Hull will be back to plying their trade in the Championship... you know it is true... we all do, you just don't want to admit your club is shite and even if you do manage to stay up one more season... the rest of the Prem will buy off your good players and you'll be fricked.

Hull City's owner Assem Allam has applied to change the club's name from 'Hull City' to 'Hull Tigers', claiming the word 'City' sounded common and lousy.
Ehm I don't think the City part is the problem mate.

We currently have 23 seniors/first teamers on the books and looking to add 3 more to that. None of those are dross either, the worst of them is a top championship quality player, the calibre of which TWS could only dream of having after letting McCormack go.
On top of that we have a good number of very promising young players coming through the development squad if we ever need to dip in there for a bit of depth.
I'm sure a squad of 26 can cope just fine, don't worry about us. We'll enjoy our European adventure whilst you lot are marching on together to the dizzy heights of league one.

TWS living in the past again, thinking good times are just around the corner.
You havent been a force in the top division in about 13 years. You finished 15th this season in the Championship, signed shite players, and just sold your best player. At the minimum you will be in a relegation fight this season. Face the facts you are a feeder club to far larger teams now so just get used to your place in the pyramid.

You've never been a force... and will never be a force.
To argue you have depth is hilarious... and a Youth System... who is the biggest name youth you have "developed"?
Living in the past? At least we have a past... you guys are clinging to the notion that your club will somehow be relevant... but it isn't going to happen.
In 10 years you'll be known as the club that ended Arsenal's silverware drought... fricking Hull City.

remind me again... how many forwards have we had that have led the league in goals?
Becchio? Beckford? McCormack? Gradel?
When one goes... another will take his place. Except this time, we actually brought in a good return and are hopefully going to reinvest some in players that will get us back to the Prem.

McCormack the only one of note, the rest are crap. All that proves is that TWS have for a long time been a one trick pony with a team of individuals.
And now you're replacing your solitary good player with a load of Johnny foreigners that your non league failure of a manager has no say about... Good luck with that!
