So that makes the type of organisation who rides roughshod over culture of clubs ideal for us now then.
Leipzig aren’t Red Bull Leipzig either. The name has changed to RasenBallsport.
Great, that's alright then.
What would change? The badge, stadium name and colour of our away kit?
RB Leipzig are one of the most hated clubs in Germany
But quite successful
I mean why do we need to be liked by other fans? I’m not sure MK Dons fans really care about anyone else’s opinion
In fairness Jimmy Hill tried to change this club's name to Coventry Talbot in the 80s
Every club in the PL to some extent is reliant on the TV deal
So you don’t think much will come of this? Shame.
They have a team in Brazil as well that they have done it with, it removes our identity and culture. I would hate a red bull take over unless, they kept all culture and sponsored only, invest their money in taking us up the ranks, but that will never happen so they can fuck off
He may have rebranded us, but we still had our identity and culture, not a fucking shitty energy drink and F1 brand all over us. I would fucking hate that, tastes like cat piss
Agree with your comments on RB, horrible stuff. I think our current identity is all Jimmy Hill though, he introduced the sky blue shirt, the sky blues nickname and indeed wrote the original lyrics to the sky blue song and put it to the music of the Eton boating song.
Imagine how upset Sunderland fans would get when we start throwing stones on the pitch for the halftime stoning.
Did they say the value of the Golden Share was? Did they put a value on it at all when it came to selling a club?
For Sisu, it's a bit like doing the lottery every week. You know your chances of coming out on top long term are close to zero but you can't stop in case your numbers come up next week. Sisy's only hope of getting their money back is if we somehow get to the premier league. Hence their comment about third party investment.
It’s worth no physical value what so ever. you can’t list it in the accounts as an asset. We all know it’s worth something in the long run but you can’t list it as an asset because the EFL can revoke it at any time.
I think your right. Ithink Sisu said that they had pumped £30m in to the club over the years and they want this money back. They're not going to sell up now when we’re worth maybe half of that amount and no stadium ownership. I can’t see how a third party investment is going to help in obtaining the lease either. Wasps or the council will not deal with the 3rd party if they are on the board of the football club.
I'll phone them both up and ask
It is a bit weird how people talk about the identity and how it'd be sacrilege to change it when most revere the man who changed our identity in the 1960's and consider him our finest manager. We're not Singers anymore. Or the Bantams. Our first kit was black. The badge changes subtly all the time as looks nothing like our original badge.
Man Utd are one of the most hated here. Chelsea were after getting the Russian billions, ditto Man City with the Abu Dhabi cash. Newcastle aren't exactly popular after the Saudi's and that'll only grow if the start buying their way to the top.
He did, and is renowned as one of the worst chairmen we've had for his decisions.
