LondonLax Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Either way Small Heath lose so they can shut up. We either maintain our pedigree and poo all over them or become soulless but good and poo all over them. Aston Villa would no longer exist if Red Bull took control of the club.

Yeah but they'd still have local neighbours shitting all over them, so there won't be any joy on their part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I recon they would take immense pleasure in seeing the demise of Aston Villa myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I do wonder what would happen if Red Bull took over and completely gutted the club. How much support would the inevitable breakaway team get? I know I'd support it just as wholeheartedly as I support Villa now, and getting to Villa involves a 6 hour round trip for me.

skarroki Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 dunno if it's been suggested, didn't read every page, but I think the club that would be most willing to accept a name change and colour change, already in a new stadium, is MK Dons!!

The_Rev Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Yeah, a couple of times. Factor in things like size of population/catchment area/lack of big local rivals, the fact that Red Bull already do business in MK (the F1 team are based there) and MK is desperate to be taken seriously as a major urban area which means the council might be prepared to put up with bullshit that other areas might not tolerate and it's difficult to see why they would go for any other club if truth be told. Three to five years getting promoted to the Premier League probably causes fewer problems than having a bunch of fans who hate you for ruining a club with 120+ years of tradition.

It could actually be a lot of fun supporting them all the way up the lower leagues. Not that I'm wishing for it or anything, but it would certainly be something different.

GarethRDR Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 If it happened to us, we wouldn't even get to be Red Bull Villa; it'd surely be Red Bull Birmingham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I find the 'Red Bull' sports franchise very, very odd. I mean, they're putting a rather disproportionate amount of time and effort into selling an 'energy drink'. How many athletes would go near Red Bull anyway? Very odd.

I mean, they're putting a rather disproportionate amount of time and effort into selling an 'energy drink'. How many athletes would go near Red Bull anyway? Very odd. Look at Lucozade. One of the least healthy instant-diabetes-giving puddles of rubbish going, and they've actually managed to market themselves as healthy by associating themselves with sporting events and 'rehydration'. It's genius. Yet when the 'sugar' discussion comes up it's always Coca Cola on the chopping block. It's almost as if Lucozade is seen as 'healthy sugar' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Lucozade tastes so bad that it's got to be healthy. Edited November 20, 2013 by LondonLax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakal Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Randy can put some terms into the sale agreement... i.e. no name, badge and colours change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eames Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Is there actually any credible links to this story? One post by a Small Heathen aside? Or is this another QIA type non story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted November 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) a) because as I wrote before there's less need to in such a heavily broadcast league as ours; the FA don't just let owners change team names, as Dr Assam is finding out in Hull.

That's only because he asked too soon before this season started. He's getting his way next season AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
