Rumours flying around that we are about to be taken over by multi-billionaire owner of redbull and that will be our sponsor next season Searching frantically for something concrete
73 magazine are running with it This fella could easily buy the title (If we stop up it seems and only if we stay up)
The Austrian-based energy drinks firm are on the look-out for a suitable club, with Anglophile coach Ralf Rangnick, sporting director of Red Bull Salzburg, heading the search. As well as current Austrian league leaders Salzburg, Red Bull already owns clubs in Germany, New York, Brazil and Ghana. The company’s sporting assets also include two Formula One teams: Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso. Now coach Rangnick, who almost got the Everton job in the summer, has been tasked to find a club in England for their latest move into ownership. An insider in the deal said: “Red Bull want a team to take into the Champions League. It is the only market they have not reached yet. Ideally this would be in the London area, but both Everton and Liverpool interest them too because it would not take much to get them to that level. “They have looked at the Championship, but you can spend fortunes there and not make any progress.” Rangnick, an English-educated German, has a good knowledge of the game and is looking at several options. He would also oversee the *purchase and running of the club. News of Red Bull’s interest is spreading rapidly and there should be no lack of willing sellers. The company’s Formula One success, with Sebastian Vettel taking them towards a fourth straight title, has put them on the map, but buying a club in the ‘home’ of football could be their biggest coup yet. And taking it into the Champions League is the ultimate aim for one of the biggest sports-backing firms in the business. This is quite an old article btw
Check out their history. New shirts, logo change etc. are we prepared to put up with this crap to win the title? Yup, count me in.
Seventy3' 1 hour ago Red Bull on board as sponsors next season provided we stay up...wonder if we can have some wings now to avoid the drop?
can't see it happening, but they can certainly have the naming rights to our stadium if they do..Owt's better than the one we have..
Im not completely against the idea tbh. Some serious backing is what we need. I love Ellis, but will he put the amount of money into us RB would? Dont think so. Only thing is Ellis would run us very efficiently, but will we amount to anything other than relegation candidates? Dunno, so long as they dont touch the strip, the colors, name, or the badge im happy. Dont believe it though.
Red Bull? And enjoy a drink from thailand, land of the lazy ****s, and copiers, sounds about right.. Will all the fans be forced to wear Man U, and Liverpool tops?
