I think she's in hiding after the absolute arse she made of herself in the summer.

In any case owners cannot just simply change the name of a team in England as it needs to go through a vetting process, which includes consultation with the fans. Personally, if we were given billions to spend they could dress us up in royal blue leotards and call us Red Bull whores FC...

That said, I was listening to Talksport the night the Hull City name change confirmation broke and a Hull fan rang up and said he was part of a group who the club discussed their concerns with. It didn't seem to do them any good.

I'd imagine it was along the lines of:

Club: "We're changing the name of the club to something really shit. What do you think?'
Fans: "We don't like it."
Cliub: "Ah well, them's the breaks."

Consultation over.

This bull shit gives me red mist.

What if Red Bull replace the logo with Bull instead of the Lions. Then buy Bull Ring and called it Red Bull Ring.

[DB]

The smell of that stuff always makes me want to puke.
Years ago, thought it was a good idea to spend a night on RB & Vodka's.

Villa Park would be stinking of the stuff if they did buy us - served at every outlet! Shudder....

[ozzjim]

Taking it as certain that this is a load of Bull...

How would people feel if we did get taken over with someone willing to put big money in?

The Red Bull Arena, home of Aston Villa.

They already own RB Leipzig. Same country that Kiyotake plays in. The connection is clear.

Nein danke.

Probably some sort of really ill-advised nonsense about Hitler having been an Austrian therefore we shouldn't be surprised at the way they're acting in not buying us, and some sort of hint at Nazi era slavery. That kind of thing.

It's a yes from me. We're not a tinpot club like City & Chelsea and have actually put the groundwork in. If billionaire investors = modern football then we need to just move with the times. The fact we're an attractive proposition in the first place says a lot about what we've already achieved. Everything is already in place for it.

I know it's hypocritical considering how much I slate Chelsea/City but we are a top 4 club and ought to be there, they were fucking nobodies.

Actually I've just seen the thread over on VT. If the club were rebranded in that way then it's a definite no.
