SaintBobby Posted 5 January, 2020 Share Posted 5 January, 2020 (edited) These rumours seem to have - just about - amounted to more than totally fictional and unbased fantasy. What are folks' thoughts on the credibility or desirability of a Red Bull takeover? My instinct is that I'd be in favour, in principle as long as there isn't an absurd rebrand. I don't feel hugely wedded to the name of the stadium. Would like to keep plain old "St Mary's", but could live with something different, I guess. Becoming "RB Southampton FC" would be a pretty serious red line for me though. I think there are rules around renaming teams, fortunately.

Also not sure why Red Bull would want a Premier League club when they have Leipzig but they are about as good owners as could be hoped for. Won't even have to change colours, just the crest which is crap ( replaced by a bull with a halo) and the name of the stadium which I don't care for anyway. Probably change the name of the club but... meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceandfriendly Posted 5 January, 2020 Share Posted 5 January, 2020 I think restraint is required here. Yes the Red Bull people have been in town twice within the past month and at St Mary's once, but they do have other ties in the area and any potential deal is only talk right now.

SaintsLoyal Posted 5 January, 2020 Share Posted 5 January, 2020 Well they cant change the name or badge (FA rules) and thats the main feature of what they do at the clubs theyve bought. Shirt sponsor and naming the stadium is welcome, if it means good financial investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 5 January, 2020 Share Posted 5 January, 2020 I'm not saying Red Bull is the way to go, but if we want to stay in this league AND compete regularly with the bigger boys, we need great investment in the club that a lot of SaintsWeb doubts Gao can give us. IF Red Bull is the clear and obvious choice, then so be it. Maybe more Mane's coming our way!?!? On the other hand we could be looking back at this thread in a couple of years time, and going .

Nolan Posted 5 January, 2020 Share Posted 5 January, 2020 (edited) Seeing as we've ruled out Gao and Red Bull, Is there a list of people Saints are allowed to be owned by? Theoretically if you had a halo and wings we would have to be "the angels" if RB did take us over. Edited 5 January, 2020 by Nolan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 5 January, 2020 Share Posted 5 January, 2020 Pretty sure somebody posted yesterday that they saw somebody in a Jacket with Red Bull Logo or was it a tie in Corporate yesterday!! Based on yjat sort fact, maybe we are also going to be taken over by Primark or a snide Stone Island / Burberry company based on The Northam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted 5 January, 2020 Share Posted 5 January, 2020 We currently have an arrangement with Monster Energy. This could be as simple as us looking to shift that arrangement to Red Bull. Sure, there's the possibility of a much bigger relationship such as shirt and/or sponsorship, but ask yourselves what red bull would get out of buying us and sponsoring our shirts and stadium that they would get from not buying us but just sponsoring our shirts and stadium. At most it'll be an Arsenal/Emirates arrangement I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader Posted 6 January, 2020 Share Posted 6 January, 2020 Red Bull would never take over a club without renaming it. The Premier League/FA would never allow the club to be renamed. (See Hull City Tigers saga). End of argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
