Arizona Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Money on this being in The Echo tomorrow? If you win that bet, be sure to buy Saints. Ta
niceandfriendly Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 And here I am thinking that the words "Swiss" and "Austrian" refer to two different countries. Shows you that I know nothing. Despite the people of each country claiming they are two completely seperate entities, I think it is generally believed that Switzerland and Austria are inextricably linked.

gonzo Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Despite the people of each country claiming they are two completely seperate entities, I think it is generally believed that Switzerland and Austria are inextricably linked. That actually made me laugh!

docker-p Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 I would obviously welcome any new owner at this stage, and Red Bull would be great, but if they want to call us Southampton Red Bull they can shove it up there ass.
Deano6 Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 This would be amazing news, as I'm just about to move to New York and my footy team out there will also be the Red Bulls!
saint_stevo Posted 30 June, 2009 Author Posted 30 June, 2009 I would obviously welcome any new owner at this stage, and Red Bull would be great, but if they want to call us Southampton Red Bull they can shove it up there ass. Beggars can't be choosers etc
Legod Third Coming Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 It would probably break some FL rule to have a commercial named team. They are more than welcome to call SMS the 'Red Bull Stadium' Total Network Solutions, Bayer Leverkeusen, Vauxhall Motors... bloody hell even Arsenal are named after a team of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal... Are the league now banning their own history?
krissyboy31 Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 Total Network Solutions, Bayer Leverkeusen, Vauxhall Motors... bloody hell even Arsenal are named after a team of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal... Are the league now banning their own history? Total Network Solutions had to rename after the Welsh League outlawed commercial naming. They came up with another TNS The New Saints.
benjii Posted 30 June, 2009 Posted 30 June, 2009 As long as it has "Southampton" in the name and isn't ridiculous (eg "Southampton LadyBoys", "Southampton Mincers" etc), they could call us whatever they want as far as I'm concerned. I suspect this is complete and utter guff in any case.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 As long as it has "Southampton" in the name and isn't ridiculous (eg "Southampton LadyBoys"), When I was just a little boy, I asked my mother what should I be? Should I be Pompey, Should I be Saints? Heres what she said to me. Wash your mouth out son, go get your fathers gun and shoot the pompey scum and become a girl.
Polaroid Saint Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Total Network Solutions, Bayer Leverkeusen, Vauxhall Motors... bloody hell even Arsenal are named after a team of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal... Are the league now banning their own history? PSV Einhoven are another one. And the league are not only banning their own history they are slapping it with a restraining order! - pointless rebranding name changes, overt sponsorship, letting clubs move and rename, shafting 'historic clubs' with petulant points deductions, pandering to television schedules, favouritism to currently succesful clubs, the list goes on...
sotongomad76 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Total Network Solutions, Bayer Leverkeusen, Vauxhall Motors... bloody hell even Arsenal are named after a team of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal... Are the league now banning their own history? Yeah but I think the issue is the Football League itself (ie Championship and Leagues 1 & 2)- none of those first 3 teams are in the Football League.
Eastcowzer Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Would we win more games when it's raining and wet? Probably the team will be fitted with wet weather boots, ('wellies).
The9 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I think someone came up with Red Bull in another thread thinking they might have been the Swiss Pharmaceuticals company muted to be interested because of their existing link with a few clubs. Someone pointed out that Red Bull were in Fact Austrian and not Swiss. I wouldn't be surprised if it spawned from there... It did.
The9 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Yeah but I think the issue is the Football League itself (ie Championship and Leagues 1 & 2)- none of those first 3 teams are in the Football League. Two words for you to Google : Coventry Talbot.
The9 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 (edited) Total Network Solutions had to rename after the Welsh League outlawed commercial naming. They came up with another TNS The New Saints. This is totally untrue, but good theory. Total Network Solutions ceased to exist when BT bought the Total Network Solutions company and no longer wanted to sponsor the football team which had its name. The club didn't want to go back to their old name of Llansantffraid - presumably because they'd pretty much never won anything under that name, so they renamed themselves The New Saints, still to be known as TNS - the "santt" bit is Saint in Welsh, not that I know any Welsh, of course... [-o Oh, and for a League which "banned commercial naming" they strangely seem to have teams called "Gap Connah's Quay", "NEWI/Elements Cefn Druids" "Airbus UK" and "Technogroup Welshpool FC" under their umbrella. Nice research. Edited 1 July, 2009 by The9
sotongomad76 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Two words for you to Google : Coventry Talbot. Yeah Ive heard about that but that never got off the ground, did it?
sotongomad76 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Yeah Ive heard about that but that never got off the ground, did it? Also wasnt meaning that in a smartar$e way btw...realised I cant edit my own post
Junior Mullet Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I drank 19 red bulls on my stag do recently and I don't even like the cr@p. They'll do for me.
Pancake Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Total Network Solutions, Bayer Leverkeusen, Vauxhall Motors... bloody hell even Arsenal are named after a team of workers from the Woolwich Arsenal... Are the league now banning their own history? That would have been a brilliant riposte if any of those teams were actually under the umbrella of the Football League...
saint_stevo Posted 1 July, 2009 Author Posted 1 July, 2009 That would have been a brilliant riposte if any of those teams were actually under the umbrella of the Football League... He was talking about the welsh league, and it was fully in context..... Go back to sleep Pancake
theyin Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Is it really so far fetched that RB could be interested? The company's wealth is comparable to the wealthiest of owners already out there, in fact smashes most of their bank balances and a lot more than Disney I suspect. At this moment in time, changing the name to whichever format they choose is preferable to SFC going out of business....fact. Think about it, why wouldn't RB be interested in building up a club to compete in the 'best' league in the world?
Sevvy Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 So why dont somebody with some clout ask red bull if they are interested in Southampton f c
The9 Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Yeah Ive heard about that but that never got off the ground, did it? No, because the Football League blocked it.
Fergie Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Personally right now i'd take this for sure. Yeah if they changed the name of the team it would suck for sure but i dont think your allowed to just change the name of a team...otherwise we could have been called "Southampton flybe" and all sponsors would be changing their names of their teams! Like Chelsea would be called "Russian oil Chelsea"!! I think if this is true, which i doubt very much, then it would be awesome. Surely the players know what is going on and i cannot see Andrew Surman leaving if asuch a massive company was taking over!!!
SaintRobbie Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I'd be happy with Southampton Football Club, who play at the Red Bull Stadium St Mary's. Please not Red Bull Saints or Southampton Red Bulls. Just when I thought we'd lost Southampton Leisure Holdings plc FC too
RedFear Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Yeah but I think the issue is the Football League itself (ie Championship and Leagues 1 & 2)- none of those first 3 teams are in the Football League. by championship, league 1 & 2 i assume you mean the coca-cola championship and the coca-cola league 1 & 2??? otherwise known as division 1 2 and 3 before coke came along is the league hypocritical enough to stop it happening?? probabaly! although all that said, id hate us to be named after our owner
Wade Garrett Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 Personally right now i'd take this for sure. Yeah if they changed the name of the team it would suck for sure but i dont think your allowed to just change the name of a team...otherwise we could have been called "Southampton flybe" and all sponsors would be changing their names of their teams! Like Chelsea would be called "Russian oil Chelsea"!! I think if this is true, which i doubt very much, then it would be awesome. Surely the players know what is going on and i cannot see Andrew Surman leaving if asuch a massive company was taking over!!! You are quite right. There is no way Andrew Surman would have turned down a move to the Premiership when he could be playing League 1 football next year.
Legod Third Coming Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I for one think Southampton Red Bulls is a brilliant name. We play in red, and have been fed bull for twenty years.
David Strover Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 If we have a club to support next season they can be called Southampton C*ck-Knockers as far as I am concerned. I don't believe people on here would be willing to tell a consortium or potential owner to feck off just because they might want to change the name 'slightly'. Sometimes I think we don't deserve a club.... Moreover this Red Bull stuff is probably Brown Stuff from a Bull anyway.
Chopper Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 If they follow form like the F1 team, Southampton Toro Rosso could lure a few Italian players over...
Bakovnetski Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I'd be happy with Southampton Football Club, who play at the Red Bull Stadium St Mary's. Please not Red Bull Saints or Southampton Red Bulls. Just when I thought we'd lost Southampton Leisure Holdings plc FC too Hey you nicked my avatar!
SFC Forever Posted 1 July, 2009 Posted 1 July, 2009 I'd be happy with Southampton Football Club, who play at the Red Bull Stadium St Mary's. Please not Red Bull Saints or Southampton Red Bulls. Just when I thought we'd lost Southampton Leisure Holdings plc FC too I could accept that
sotongomad76 Posted 2 July, 2009 Posted 2 July, 2009 by championship, league 1 & 2 i assume you mean the coca-cola championship and the coca-cola league 1 & 2??? otherwise known as division 1 2 and 3 before coke came along is the league hypocritical enough to stop it happening?? probabaly! although all that said, id hate us to be named after our owner Together with the Canon League Division One and the Ensleigh Football League...wouldnt surprise me
