Hull City owner Assem Allam is prepared to sell up if he is blocked from changing the club's name to 'Hull Tigers'.
Allam told the Guardian that he would walk away from Hull if his plan failed, but moved to deny he would liquidate the club.
While also admitting he would now ask Hull's season ticket holders to vote on the issue, he said: "We will announce a ballot this week, and we will challenge the decision.
"If the FA does not allow our plan, we will walk away, put it on the market to sell the club. We would not put it into liquidation; there is a lot of money at stake. I will get my money when I sell."
