alpine_saint Posted 9 November, 2016 Share Posted 9 November, 2016 According to the mail, Red Bull are in London scouting down an English club to buy. We've played Leipzig and Salzburg in friendlies over the past year. Coincidence ?? Could the Chinese story be all about flushing them out ??

nta786 Posted 9 November, 2016 Share Posted 9 November, 2016 how would we feel as fans if they did this, and in a hypothetical world without the FFP crap, they changed our name to Red Bull Saints, turn our home kit into the Red Bull colours along with a change in logo to make it similar to other Red Bull clubs, BUT our next 10 years we competed for titles etc like City are!

Saint-Fred Posted 9 November, 2016 Share Posted 9 November, 2016 Buying a PL team would Not really follow the pattern they have done before...they are more likely to purchase a lower league club and invest in young hungry players to take them up the league than buy an established PL team and invest in huge signings.

Not competitive would be Sunderland or Swansea. What you are referring to is chucking a load more money at the team in the hope we can do what Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool failed to do last year.

danjosaint Posted 10 November, 2016 Share Posted 10 November, 2016 In a way but it's more to do with the financial backing that is barely legal and several loopholes to get where they are, plus the name/kit/crest changing. The same happened to Salzburg who were also hated and transferred their best players to leipzeg, all above board, cough cough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO16_Saint01 Posted 10 November, 2016 Share Posted 10 November, 2016 The FA won't allow Hull Tigers, so they certainly won't allow Red Bull Saints! they changed SSV Markranstadt to RB Leipzig. Albeit RB stands for RasenBallsport for the same reasons as the FA: not wanting Red Bull. They bought SSV when they were in the 5th division, so buying saints isn't likely - so no RB SouthamptonFC Amy time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 10 November, 2016 Share Posted 10 November, 2016 (edited) Some great quotes around from the Swindon chairman about it not being a demotion for their current coach. "This is one of the biggest appointments the club has ever made," chairman Lee Power told BBC Wiltshire. "We're still a bit shocked that we've managed to persuade Tim to take it on. "We're very mindful not to use the title 'manager' - it's not a demotion for Luke Williams. He'll be head coach still. Tim will be running training alongside (Luke)." Sherwood added: "I like this club. I've got a soft spot for it. This is a good opportunity for me to get back onto the training field. "I started this morning. I'll be in the dressing room, I'll be talking to the boys and giving them some words of wisdom." Power said that Sherwood will "head up all aspects, including transfers, the way we play, the formations and the picking of the team", implying a strong level of day-to-day involvement. "A director of football is normally someone who doesn't put their tracksuit on and doesn't interact with the team - that won't happen here" said Power. "Luke (Williams) is thought of in the football world as a top, top coach - that will continue. "Something needed to change and happen. This season, it hasn't been good enough." 'There is no contract' Power continued: "Everyone knows Tim has been a friend of mine for 25 years. So there won't be a contract. "It's a special relationship that we've had for a very long time - he definitely isn't coming for the money. "Tim has had opportunities to work for two Championship clubs this year, that he has turned down."

I'm sure he'll provide great insight and planning thanks to his extensive experience of successfully letting the players do what they want at Spurs and Villa, and his negligible knowledge of playing at that level.

1885 Posted 10 November, 2016 Share Posted 10 November, 2016 What they do with / in Leipzig is pretty horrifying, but their success so far silence the critics, as all the media jumping on the RB Leipzig bandwagon, hammering all those daring to critizise their doings in Leipzig. Interesting that Salzburg "officially" have been downgraded to a feeder club, claiming winning titles is not important, but developing players for Leipzig. Salzburg's manager already threatens to quit on this. Basically, Red Bull transfers players to themselves and gets away with it. System seem to like being beaten here. Missing the times in lower Eastern German leagues when Leipzig players had to jump their coach in full gear after the final whistle, as they got chased by opposing supporters.
