It's only a name man calm down.
yes, so would you be happy if someone changed your name!
Provided it was something cool, used to get called Chicago (no idea why) which I didn't mind and my mates call me Nos.
If you can't see this is a blatant pisstake, then I can only assume you don't bat an eyelid when people call you Twat in the street. Assuming this article is accurate, it's the same thing for me. It's the most petulant response I could imagine Ashley making after hearing of fans' discontent at the mooted re-branding. "Fuck it. Not only will I re-name the stadium, I'll call it something shit and I'll do it right now, not next season."
