Sam3773 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Red Bull wouldn't want a team they can't change. It's all a big marketing campaign for them. They know they would face huge opposition to changing things in the premier league. Vincent Tan, The Hull Tigers, The Sports Direct Stadium, etc. It happens but it's not as easy as it is elsewhere.

Big_John_10 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I don't think there's any chance red bull would be able to change the name and the badge of the club. I could live with stadium name change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 If Red Bull were to take over we'd obviously get them as a shirt sponsor (no one would have a problem with that) and they'd probably try and change the name of the ground (don't think that would be too controversial either if it came with heavy investment) but I honestly can't see them trying to completely change the crest and colours of the club like they've done with other smaller teams. I just think they'd see it as being too much trouble. Besides, having a Premier League team like Villa playing in Red Bull Arena (or whatever they call it) with Red Bull plastered across their shirts would probably be enough exposure. But then why would they buy us? It would be much more sensible for them to just sponsor us, why shell out the extra £50m+ per year for no gain? Thankfully, maybe hopefully, this is why I think this Red Bull stuff is bullshit. It makes no sense for them to buy us if they can't change us to Red Bull Birmingham/Aston or whatever it would be, or change our colours. As Trent said, it's literally the reason they do it, and you'd hope the FA would be smart enough to block such actions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillakevBromsgrove Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 The only thing I dont want changed is the name and I dont believe anybody would want to change it anyway, we are a brand we have history and support. what may be done would be a merger of badges and a general integration of Red Bull into Villa.

Whatever happened to ..... Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I don't think there's any chance red bull would be able to change the name and the badge of the club. I could live with stadium name change. I hope this is wrong about Red Bull . I would rather be in the championship than turn up at my beloved home of real football and see a neon sign naming it after a fizzy drink. (The way the owner acts in formula 1 over the years really gets on my **** as well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 If Red Bull were to change the name of the stadium I don't think it could come with heavy investment because it isn't allowed I don't think. Otherwise all the mega rich clubs could just use that to get around FFP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise all the mega rich clubs could just use that to get around FFP I didn't mean it in that way, I just meant that fans would be more accepting if they were investing heavily in the club at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I think if Red Bull were to buy anyone, it would be a team in the conference or something, like they've done in Germany. Not an established PL team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_sun_never_sets Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Does anyone have an idea how our massive TV money pay out (73million?) will affect our finances? will this push us significantly into profit for the next financial year (i would expect so?) if so, from a purely corporate sense we are a very sensible investment - however, i wouldnt want an owner who just saw us as an investment really... also - if we are making a profit - and lerner is willing to sell the club for 200mill and take a 100mill loss....then surely that means the profit for last season is available for transfers as this would have been accounted for otherwise?

briny_ear Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Other than trying to have a little giggle at Houllier, thus post is pretty pointless Briny.Oh, right...

shaggy Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 If it's change for the better in that we get some long term major investment into the club which breeds success then I couldn't give a shit what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) If it's change for the better in that we get some long term major investment into the club which breeds success then I couldn't give a shit what they do. Not if they kill Aston Villa as we know it in the process. I think the protests to Red Bull would be massive and we would probably even have non Villa fans joining in on our side as well.

Rob182 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I liked Houllier, so I will defend him! (pointlessly, may I add!) 393 pages, how many more before we have an end date?Using the mobile app, we're on page 787! I expect almost double this amount before we get anything concrete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
