    Just piecing together this weeks news and how about this for a conspiracy theory. With promotion virtually nailed on the 49ers will flip the club in the summer. After all they've invested nothing only huge profit from player sales since they arrived and are now focussing their attention on a cheap option. north of the border. Kinnear is made aware of the plans and realises his position would be in serious jeopardy under any new owner so he grasps the Everton job when offered to him. Its plausible

    Red Bull will buy us and the rest of the red bull clubs will become feeder clubs for the Premier League club Really Brilliant Leeds United (RB Leeds United for short) and we'll win the Premier League within 3 seasons.

    The best bit is some of the fan base lose interest because of the Red Bull thing and tickets are readily available at cheaper prices in our shiny new 53000 capacity Elland Road Stadium where the kop has been turned in to a 17000 white, yellow and blue wall of noise and atmosphere.

    I'm pretty sure they've cleared around £100m of the £147m debt, so not sure how they could take any money and run, that's why we need to go up this season, we owe too much that's as to be paid in the summer and only more player sales will cover it.

    You’re possibly over thinking things. Lots of groups like the 49rs have multi club ownership models, not sure of the overall benefits but it’s not uncommon.

    Red Bull don’t do takeovers in the conventional sense, you are absorbed into their franchise, kit change, colour change, club name change, ground name change. Not sure any fan of the club wants that.

    Genius! They buy the club for next to nothing from the skint chancer Radrizzani and made a huge profit from selling players his rubbish Director of Football brought into the club and the useless Kinnear wants to jump ship before he is sussed out? Mate, you got a genuine belly laugh for that <laugh>
