Optimistic Nut Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 They should just buy Blackburn Rovers. This season's strip is like the can anyway, the club's initials are BRFC, sure they could incorporate RB into that somehow. Match made in heaven.

ponsaelius Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I wonder if they'll try and rebrand like the other clubs, I'd be surprised if they managed it tbh I've heard people say this but why? Name changes, strip changes and stadium name changes have all happened and the fans could do fuck all about it. A club was literally moved to another city over 10 years ago now. All of this happened without a 'brand' as strong as Red Bull behind it. If they buy the club, it'll happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 If the FA are being arsey about Hull being renamed Hull Tigers then surely they will put a stop to any team being renamed Red Bull? Then again this is the FA, I'm sure if they do enough favours for the FA then they'll allow it. A shame for the real fans of Leeds if they lose their clubs identity.

ponsaelius Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Why does it being a corporate brand matter? The precedent is there for name changes. Even if it ends up being 'RB Leeds' rather than 'Red Bull Leeds' like the Leipzig club have done, it'll happen. The FA might be against it but the PL will be absolutely wet for a club like Leeds back in the Prem with a powerful 'brand' like Red Bull and money behind them.

The FA might be against it but the PL will be absolutely wet for a club like Leeds back in the Prem with a powerful 'brand' like Red Bull and money behind them. I'm sure one of their clubs is only called RB 'name' when in Europe as any cooperate name is forbidden in Europe, back in domestic football they return to using Red Bull as their name. It may happen but it's in the best interess not to happen, would you like it if Red Bull bought us then changed our name to Red Bull Newcastle and had us playing in Red and Blue? Come to think of it would you like it if Ashley did the same with Sports Direct? Just because team names, shirt changes, and a re-location has happened before it doesn't mean future ones should be allowed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Was it Jonas that stood in the Arsenal half to stop this happening when our lot celebrated the Tiote goal? Did this happen? Big kudos to him if so. I was running and jumping and screaming like a normal person, but if he had his wits about him to that extent then he deserves a massive cuddle. What a guy. I am now going to have to explain to my wife that I am still not gay for Jonas despite posting this, you git. Aye it definitely happened, he was the only one that realised.

Mr. Snrub Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 What the fuck, Fenerbahce's team bus was attacked by a bloke with a shotgun today when they were on their way away to Riazpor.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Watching the Shearer episode of Premier League legends. Said he took his kids to school early so he could get to Gullit first.

Stifler Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I've just been looking about on the Toffs website. Theirs some interesting stuff on there in the sale, Shearer t-shirts, Beardsley ones, and an NUFC black and white shirt amongst everything else. I didn't realise it but they have classic shirts in children sizes which is decent for those who don't want any Wonga shit or to put money in Ashley's pockets.

ponsaelius Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Was just saying this to the old man today, Ashley wouldn't last 5 minutes at a Turkish, Serbian or even Italian club. They'd have his house torched and his family kidnapped and that'd be that. The way the beautiful game was intended. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 We should try to recruit some Turks to support NUFC. Was it Turkish fans who walked in on a press conference unveiling the clubs new manager and escorted him out and told him to piss off? I have a feeling that we need those fans soon.
