Takeover rumours

But will Red Bull give us wins?

Judging by this thread they'll certainly give us whinge.

Or indeed (and with all due apologies to messrs AD and CD Villafan)

"And on the bench for Villa this afternoon, Number 13..."

Can i ask seeing as we have had ten pages now is there any solid information that Red Bull wants to buy our club or is it just another rumour?

No solid information whatsoever.

That said, the fact that this rumour keeps popping up, and the fact that Red Bull have bought teams in several other countries, suggests to me that they probably do want to buy an English side.  Theres no evidence that its going to be Villa though.

If we gave away the naming rights to Villa Park, I don't think I could go anymore.

I've always been proud of our heritage. To sell it sickens me.

The name, colours and Villa Park should be ringfenced.   Anything else is fair game for sponsorship.

Ah come on - the 'Villa Red Bulls' playing in a swanky red and blue kit at the new 'Red Bull Arena' by the NEC - what's not to like?

Along with the new badge featuring a red bull next to Sebastian Vettel's face

They'd probably fob us off and give us Webber or some crappy Toro Rosso driver.

Or, if they're like Nike, someone who drove for them a few years ago. Coulthard or something.

But will Red Bull give us wins?

I don't think even a company with the sporting success track record of Red Bull could give us consistent wins at home.

I've come to accept it as something we won't have in my life time, it's up there with landing a man on mars, us winning the FA Cup, or HS2.

To be fair, the rumour popping up again this time is down to some random punter on twitter asking if anyone had heard anything about it the other week.

There's not a hint of any truth whatsoever in this.

In my mind I am imagining Randy, back at home in his Long Island estate, sat reading this thread, pissing himself laughing.

I can honestly say that I have never ever had any Red Bull, I have no idea what it tastes like

It's putrid. Absolutely awful.

[nodge]

If you wake up after a big night out and you can taste red bull, you know it got really messy towards the end. Then throughout the next day you'll get flashbacks of wierd stuff that you can't remember if it really happened or you dreamt it, every time it repeats on you. Or is that just me?

Red Bull aren’t a ‘silent partner’ – if your club takes the Austrian schilling, it accepts the full bovine package.

The company owns, or is the major backer of, 15 sports teams around the world, including the hyper-successful Formula 1 team that bares its name. All five of its football teams – based in New York, Salzburg, Leipzig, Brazil and Ghana – boast the Red Bull brand.

When the company bought FC Salzburg in 2005, it changed the club’s name, management and staff, removed its previous violet colour from the badge and claimed it to be ‘a new club with no history’.

In what way does the content of that article suggest they're interested in buying us?
