NG32 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Article from the mag about another billioaire interested in prem clubs...wont be us sadly. http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/austrian-billionaire-wants-to-buy-premier-league-club/ Austrian Billionaire Wants To Buy Premier League Club The interest in Premier League clubs looks to show no signs of waning, with Fulham the last one to be bought up by one of the growing number of American owners. The latest Billionaire though claimed to be interested in buying a Premier League club is from Austria. His name, Dietrich Mateschitz, may not be familiar but the main brand he is responsible for is instantly recognisable. Red Bull is the biggest selling energy drink in the world, selling over five billion units a year, and has helped Mateschitz amass a fortune valued at $7.1bn (around £4.5bn), making him according to Forbes magazine, the 162nd richest person in the world. Red Bull already have numerous well known tie-ins with sport, their formula one team maybe the most recognisable. However, they have numerous other sporting teams and in football they already have MLS club ‘New York Red Bulls’ as well as FC Red Bull Salzburg over in Mateschitz’ home country. However, according to the respected Football Economy website (and other media), Red Bull are looking to buy a football club in England and respected ex-Schalke manager, Ralf Rangnick, has been given the job of heading up the search. Rangnick is currently sporting director of Red Bull Salzburg but has been given the job of finding a club in England with the express intention of eventually helping to promote the Red Bull brand via the Champions League, one of the last markets they have yet to reach. It is believed that their first preference is a club in the London area but that both Liverpool and Everton interest them also because Red Bull don’t see a great deal of work needed to be done to get them up to that level. The question for us surely has to be that in terms of potential Newcastle has every bit as much and more potential as the likes of Everton and most others, while Liverpool would surely be a more expensive purchase for any buyer…or it should be. Nothing ever changes with Newcastle in that our potential will always be there and we just need somebody to buy into that. We thought we’d landed the jackpot when English billionaire Mike Ashley landed on the scene but sadly it wasn’t to be. New respected owners used to bringing sporting success to their projects at the highest level would be a dream come true, Newcastle Red Bull United doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue but never say never.

What if he piled loads of money into the team and only put his logo on the shirt? At the minute we have an awful deal with Wonga and sports direct clad all over the stadium for free. The current owner is nothing but a chancer and a bandit who has no interst in making Newcastle United (or whats left of it) a success. Pardew even admited it, he has no clue how to run a sporting club, he is retail and his man child brain cannot step outside of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Probably after a London based club anyway. I would say, likely to be west ham. New stadium sorted out, wont be that expensive to buy, in London and ready to be built up. Sam Allerdyce sacked again. Winner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Don't see any London based clubs available that could achieve what he wants. Suppose West Ham would be the only option, but they're completely fucked financially. Though I suppose maybe those two clowns will be happy to sell cheap to get away from the mess so maybe.

Sure I'd be fine with it but I don't know if you've seen this or not, every team he/Red Bull have bought, they've changed the name of the team, the club's logo and colors to the standard Red Bull adidas kits with red and white. But if he basically replaced Wonga on our kit(s) with Red Bull's logo and replaced every usage of sports direct on the stadium, advertising etc with his Red Bull logo I'd take that. Don't fuck with the name, the black & white stripes, and our badge is all I'm saying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Gimp you have no idea if they'd not man, I see what you are saying 100%. But the evidence has shown they've changed EVERY team name they've bought, and colors, and standardized the kits. I'm sure you are right, they'd be mad to change a Premier League club's name, badge, history etc like they've done to every other club - just clearly pointing out my reservation to this, that's all "With soccer teams the New York Red Bulls, Red Bull Leipzig, Red Bull Brasil, Red Bull Ghana and Red Bull Salzburg already under their belt and various other sporting entities, reports of further expansion could be true given the company’s aggressive business model in the past." http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2013/10/14/report-red-bull-could-purchase-premier-league-club-liverpool-everton/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 What's more frustrating about this is that the likes of Red Bull are keen to buy into a premier club to promote their brand, but they are looking to do it by building CL standard club. Sports Direct are using Newcastle to build their brand by raiding the dump bins for players and hanging around the top division one way or another. Tells you everything about Ashley and his shitty SD brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 The motivation is essentially the same though, isn't it? I doubt it's deep in Red Bull's reason for existing that they must create a Champions League football club. They want to promote their brand just like Sports Direct do. They've trotted out a couple of quotes about making a CL team, I'm quite surprised everyone is so willing to take it at face value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
