Takeover rumours

[pauliewalnuts]

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.

It is one of the few things you can't mix with vodka to make a perfectly drinkable tipple.

I can't drink vodka. Red Bull manages to make it taste worse.

But will Red Bull give us wins?

Very good

Just the smell of it makes me want to heave.

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.

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.

There's a bit more to it that that...torygraph

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

I liked this comment though:

Aston Ginsters Cornish Pasties Villa.

It's got a certain ring to it I suppose.

Well it obviously does not say that specifically, but there's more to this story than "some random punter on twitter" causing all the fuss. Which is what you said. 

[pauliewalnuts]

Well, is there?

It refers entirely to "rumours" which is precisely what it was that some guy on twitter resurrected last week. What's more, the only reference to us in there is one with us in with a bunch of other clubs, including the likes of Orient, with their names changed.

Other than referring to rumours, there's not a single thing there that suggests Red Bull want to buy an English team, let alone that it is us.

where's there's smoke

[pauliewalnuts]

I do think that if they were going to totally rebrand a club, pretend it has no history at all and is a brand new club, and then pour cash into it, they'd be better off buying a lower league club in a populous area and doing it.

Orient, oddly enough, wouldn't be too bad a choice. Or Crystal Palace, even, who have always (rightly or wrongly) struck me as an artificial, somewhat plastic club.

I don't for one minute think they will buy us, as I doubt RL would sell to a company that would almost certainly re brand the entire club.

If he's shown one thing the history of the club means something to him.

I think they'll buy Newcastle.

On that criteria MK Dons would be a stand out favourite, and red bull are already based there

Or Cardiff.  The current blokes already changed their colours.

If and when Randy does decide to sell us, do you think that anything other than the amount offered will really matter to him?
